That does not solve my problem, but thanks anyway for the advice!<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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...<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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...<br><br>Thanks!<br>

You can add/remove routes using SAI script.<br>
Otherwise I don't quite understand what you are trying to do.<br>

Hello everybody!<br>
<br>
This is my first message to the list, even though I have some experience<br>
using the good old VRML.<br>
<br>
I would like to add a plug in a Virtual Environment (VE), so that any object<br>
placed over the plug (collision) would receive events to turn it on or off.<br>
<br>
My initial idea was to define prototypes with a boolean input field for the<br>
different objects (bulbs, toys,...) I wanted to plug. These objects would be<br>
moved over a table using a PlaneSensor. Then I would connect a button with a<br>
TouchSensor that would send its events to the position of the 'plug' in the<br>
3D space. I would like this plug to be also movable using a PlaneSensor.<br>
<br>
Unluckily, after checking X3D specification, I think this approach is not<br>
possible.<br>
<br>
How could I implement such a behaviour in X3D?<br>
I have tried to create an script executed by the objects likely to be<br>
connected to the plug, in which I would manually check the collision among<br>
these objects, but I would need to get the 3D position of both the plug and<br>
the object. Is there any way to do this?<br>
<br>
Would I need to use SAI and have a parallel SceneGraph -an external java<br>
SceneGraph- definition that allows me to check such things??<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!!<br>
