Alternating between two cameras

[paulmelnikow]

Hi! Thanks for this wonderful alternative to OrbitControls 😄

I have a view that's being used for scientific visualization, and it's helpful to let the user toggle between orthographic and perspective. As a result, I've created two cameras and two CameraControls instances, and I'm alternating between them. However, this isn't working perfectly.

If I dispose() the first one when adding the second one, when I reattach it, it no longer receives mouse events, and if I recreate it, it seems to have lost some of its internal state.

If I don't dispose() the first when adding the second, the mouse events intended for the second are sent to both.

I could maybe add an undispose() or reattach() method.

Alternatively, I could try to recreate the controls each time the camera changes, though I'm not sure how to correctly transfer the internal state from the old controls.

Do you have a suggestion for this? Thanks!

Thanks for trying the library
I think you could use .enabled = false rather than .dispose() in this case.

Thanks for the fast response! .enabled is working great. Thank you!
