How to make an active add-on switch off based on my location?

[john71]

Maybe it's my fault but I can't find any clue how to do it.

I want to switch off an add-on (make it invisible), when I'm inside of the Milky Way.

Is it possible?

How to make an active add-on switch off when I'm inside of the Milky Way, but switch on, when I'm outside of it?

You can use a celx script to toggle an object's visibility, like this:

Code: Select all

if not celestia:find("MW"):visible() then
    celestia:find("MW"):setvisible(true)
elseif celestia:find("MW"):visible() then
    celestia:find("MW"):setvisible(false)
end


You might be able to set it up so visibility depends on whether you're in the Milky Way. Try the celx scripting guides on Wikibooks.

Thank you!

But it just toggles the "switch off", doesn't it?

What I would like to achieve is that it automatically switches on/off, depending on my location...
