[x3d-public] Limit to # of chained sensors?

[Holger Seelig]

I think there is logic bug in your code, if all browsers do the same. If I look below in your code, what you have posted here, I see that you use cycleTime to connect to startTime, but cycleTime will be generated an event at the beginning of each cycle, even for the first cycle.

>A cycleTime event is generated at the beginning of every cycle, including the cycle starting at startTime.

This mean in turn you will start all TimeSensors at once.

Best regards,
Holger
