On Hotspot
Hotspot Defines the hotspot type. Choose from:
Sphere - a simple sphere from a given point in space.
Sphere on Selection - a sphere around a selection. This option doesn't
require you to define the given point in space. This hotspot will move as
the selected objects move in the model.
Trigger When Defines how the event is triggered. Choose from:
Entering - an event is triggered when you enter the hotspot. This is useful
for opening doors, for example.
Leaving - an event is triggered when you leave the hotspot. This is useful
for closing doors, for example.
In Range - an event is triggered when you are inside the hotspot. This
option allows you to use a hotspot event together with Boolean operators.
For example, you can AND this event to a timer event.
