[x3d-public] TimeSensor Hierarchy

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Here is one way to do it.



*	X3D Example Archives: X3D4WA, X3D for Web Authors, Chapter 07 Event 
Animation Interpolation, Time Sensor Chaining
*	Connecting TimeSensor nodes so that the completion of one behavior chain 
triggers another.

However, seems like a ROUTE or two might be missing/mistaken...  Clicking to 
open the door opens OK, but then has trouble closing again.



If anyone sees the mistake in the event chain, please advise, all corrections 
welcome.



This is a good occasion to point out that something which took an X3D file and 
produced an event graph diagram (perhaps in SVG) would be generally useful. 
(On Linux, the Titania authoring tool has such a diagramming capability,)



I will print out the HTML documentation version and draw the ROUTE lines 
mNUlly to visualize what is happening and troubleshoot further.

p.s. here are some helpful author checklists from book chapters on animation 
and interactivity.

Have fun with X3D animation!  8)



all the best, Don

Hi All,

So, I have a master timesensor that will run enabled and several other 
timesernsors that need to be enabled or disabled in various sequences during 
the main time evolution. What is best way to build this control?

Thanks,

Joe
