"Unable to preventDefault inside passive event listener due to target being treated as passive. " by chrome

hello, on chrome browser i’m trying to track zoom distance.

I took the scene “Model viewer test scene”
https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/784896

and basically use the same scripts but disabled the pan.

similar to the project i take the field ‘distance’ from OrbitCamera
same way OrbitMouseInput does using

var OverZoom = pc.createScript('overZoom');

// initialize code called once per entity
OverZoom.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.orbitCamera = this.entity.script.orbitCamera;
    var fix;
};

// update code called every frame
OverZoom.prototype.update = function(dt) {
    fix = this.orbitCamera.distance;
    //console.log("current zoom is "+this.orbitCamera.distance);
};

the problem is that whenever i zoom, i do get zoom to contain the distance, but also recieve errors from chrome.

I looked on the web and the best solution was to replace scripts locally

not a solution that can work outside the development phase.
have you encountered it? is there a solution I can implement in the scene, script or project?

reproduction:

  1. create a project from https://playcanvas.com/project/629759/overview/model-viewer-test-scene this
  2. add to the camera a script called OverZoom and paste this code
var OverZoom = pc.createScript('overZoom');

// initialize code called once per entity
OverZoom.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.orbitCamera = this.entity.script.orbitCamera;
    var fix;
};

// update code called every frame
OverZoom.prototype.update = function(dt) {
    fix = this.orbitCamera.distance;
    //console.log("current zoom is "+this.orbitCamera.distance);
};
  1. play the scene and zoom with wheel

Well, I just went to mouse-input.js line 125 and deleted ‘event.event.preventDefault();’. Now that error is gone.

thanks a lot

should I expect any consequences for not preventing default?

I never had any consequences from that. Default behaviour of the mouse wheel would be scrolling up and down on a page, rather than zooming in and out. That never happened to me until now.

This naturally doesn’t solve the issue when we DO want to prevent the scroll wheel from scrolling the page when PlayCanvas is hosted as an iFrame for example. I ran into this problem and have not found a solution yet. Preventing doesn’t work on Chrome

Up, same error here… any suggestion?

Ugly workaround is to hold the Shift Key down when you scroll the mouse wheel.
