screensaver script change speed

Asked by Denis G.

I like the screensaver script in version 10.5 but it goes too fast to read labels of objects as they fly past.

Can the script be slowed down ?
Can it be restricted to show only objects above the horizon ?

Thank you.

Denis G.

Lines 44-61 could be replaced with some different numbers in the "duration" parameters

        if (r == 1)
        {
                StelMovementMgr.autoZoomIn(20);
                core.wait(1);
                StelMovementMgr.zoomTo(40,22);
                core.wait(1);
                ConstellationMgr.setFlagArt(true);
                core.wait(4);
                core.wait(25);
                ConstellationMgr.setFlagArt(false);
        }
        else
        {
                StelMovementMgr.autoZoomIn(20);
                core.wait(25);
                StelMovementMgr.zoomTo(60,22);
                core.wait(10);
        }

You might want to play with the numbers a bit to work as you wish.

Oh, and for the objects above the horizon... There might be a really hackish way to do it, but at the moment there is no clean API calls for getting the position of some object by name.

Can you help with this problem?
