[x3d-public] Super simple animations?

[Joe D Williams]

John, look at the Event Utilities in the spec. There may be somthing there you can use. 
If you use the events as intended, then it is possible to chain timesensors .

Yes, a musical playlist is exactly the metaphor I want, allowing for multiple voices within a song, of course!

MIDI nodes are a bit like that - you can design the event sequence / timing in a MIDI authoring tool, then play the .mid file and route from ToneSplitter. I'm thinking about a fireworks scene combining particle physics and midi event sequencing. Perhaps we need something more general, as a utility node set.-Doug

Conceptually one could do this with a switch, but i don’t know about events from the switch to enable the child TimeSensor or the startTime.
 
If you tell me to do use a Script, why not put imperative code in an encoding instead?

I would like something like a TimeSensorSequencerGroup that enables and disables children TimeSensors in order of appearance in the code, if such a thing exists.  No need to fiddle with TimeSensor fields, the SequencerGroup does it for you. 
I know this is imperative programming, and not declarative, but sometimes, you’ve got to bite the bullet of simplicity.
 
Thanks!
