Hi Kevin,
Yes..you'll need a Script node to accomplish this. (There is a
tedious path without using Script, where box with different textures
mapped are put under a switch node and its whichChoice is changed
using a ScalarInterpolator which varies from 0 to 9....No..it's too
tedious a task)
Script makes life simpler as follows:
_________________________________________________________________________
#VRML V2.0 utf8
Group {
children [
Shape { appearance Appearance {
texture DEF imgTex ImageTexture {
url "img0.jpg" #first image to be displayed
}
}
geometry Box { size 1 1 1 }
},
DEF clicker TouchSensor{}
]
}
DEF urlScript Script {
eventIn SFBool clicked
eventOut MFString newUrl
field MFString urlArray null
field SFInt32 index 0
url "vrmlscript:
function initialize() {
//load the array with images to be displayed
urlArray = new MFString('img0.jpg', 'img1.jpg', ..., 'img9.jpg');
}
function clicked(value) {
if (value) {
//only when isActive is true
newUrl = new MFString(urlArray[index++%10]);//circulate thro' imgs
}
}"
}
ROUTE clicker.isActive TO urlSCript.clicked
ROUTE urlScript.newUrl TO imgTex.set_url
