Changing scenes with proximity sensors

[BSUGeek]

Hi is there a way to change your viewpoint position when changing from one scene to another? also I'm trying to change a scene once the viewpoint goes into a proximity sensor. How would I go about doing that?

You could create a function that sets a new viewpoint position when the scene changes:
'''
Press 1 for scene1
Press 2 for scene2
'''

import viz
import vizact
import vizinfo

vizinfo.InfoPanel()

viz.go()

viz.addChild('piazza.osgb')
viz.addChild('dojo.osgb',scene=viz.Scene2)

def changeScene(scene):
viz.MainWindow.setScene(scene)
if scene == viz.Scene1:
viz.MainView.setPosition([0,1.8,0])
else:
viz.MainView.setPosition([0,4,0])

vizact.onkeydown('1',changeScene,viz.Scene1)
vizact.onkeydown('2',changeScene,viz.Scene2)

If you want to change the scene when the viewpoint enters a proximity sensor, you'll need to register a callback function for the proximity enter event (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#vizproximity_events.htm).
