How to remove canvas.requestPointerLock from the click event

[mawa]

Dears,
I’m messing around with something that should be simple I believe.
I have two cameras (change from arc-rotate with kb ‘1’ to universal(fps-like) with kb ‘2’) in this PG.

Case is: When using the fps-like camera, I want to request a pointer lock. And when I switch to the arc-rotate camera, I want to remove the pointer lock and then also the click event/listener. But for whatever I tried, it looks like the click always remains.

I have this PG that I polluted with multiple attempts trying different ways, so I hope you’ll still find your way through :

May be better to look at this earlier version that does not include all of my clumsy attempts

Originally, it was based on this PG:

and then this topic as an alternative:

Mouse pointer lock and OnPickTrigger

Hey @vx9, So I took a look at your PGs (particularly, the second one), and here’s what I’m seeing. You have an action set up to handle a pick when it happens, as well as performing a manual pick on a pointerdown event. Inside of scene.onPointerDown, you process the trigger if you get a hit on your sphere. When you enter a Pointer Lock, you’ll have one of two scenarios. 1.) If you click on anything that isn’t the sphere to start your pointer lock, it should work as expected because the ray i…

In the end the question is: How do I remove the fancy pointer lock on camera change?

Thanks in advance and have a great day

UPDATE: Back on it this morning with a fresh mind and I figured that requesting a pointerLock from the click on canvas when I actually have different cameras and a number of GUIs I want to interact with is definetely not a good idea.
So, change of strategy here and I removed the click event. The pointerLock shall occur or exit depending on camera selection or on button or kb. That’s it, that’s all.

Sorry for wasting your time looking at what was in fine a non-topic (a stupid approach demonstrating my lack of strategy for this). In fact, I’m still not sure at this point how just exactly my cameras and pointer interactions will work. Sketching phase and WIP. I’m likely to be back with more the way I feel it just now.
Meanwhile, have a great day
