[X3D-Public] ROUTEs can send an event to a point in the 3D space?

[diego martínez]

That does not solve my problem, but thanks anyway for the advice!

I will try to explain myself better. I have an object (the 'plug') connected
with a ROUTE to an on/off button. What I want to do is that, when I move
another object (i.e. a bulb) over the plug, that object will react (i.e. the
bulb would start shinning). Both the 'plug' and the 'bulb' should be
movable.

An event telling when two objects collide  (so that I could check when the
'bulb' collides the 'plug') would solve it. Otherwise I cannot think of a
ECMAscript that solved this issue...

The second solution is implementing my own SceneGraph in java, keeping the
current positions of the objects (bulb and plug)  and perform the collision
detection on my own.

If X3D ROUTEs could send events to a position in the space, so that they
stimulated any object located in that position, the problem would be easily
solved...

Thanks!
