Can you hide an Overlay?

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to turn off an Overlay image?  I have some Overlay Images set to Material Variants (Touch Sensor).  The Overlay Image is hidden before I click on the first Touch Sensor, but then I can't find any way to turn it off, other than opening the Overlay Editor and unclicking the X.  (I'm trying to keep the interface clean for an interactive presentation.)

Yes, create a new Overlay with the empty Text and empty Image and assign it to a different Variant Set.

Thankyou!  Exactly the workaround I was looking for!

Dawn, what script did you use in order to Make an overlay a clickable touch sensor?

No script needed.

For example: set up a switch material with 2 colors.

Set up 2 Overlays with text that says the color names.

Set up 2 Variants, each contains the Switch Material in the Material tab (change the State to the correct one for each Variant)

In the same Variants, drag both Overlays to each Set, in the Overlay tab. (change the State to Disable and Enable for the intended color)

Double click on each Set, to make sure it's working.

Now, create 2 primitives.  Drag each to the Touch Sensor Window and drag the corresponding Variant Set to each Geometry name.

Should work now.

Let me know if you get stuck.
