Quick Reference
The Scripter window is a floating window that enables you to add interactivity to object animations in your
model.

the
Properties view.
NOTE If you can’t use any of the controls in the Scripter window, it means that you are in interaction mode. To exit
the mode, click Animation tab ➤ Script panel ➤ Enable Scripts

Work with Animation Scripts
A script is a collection of actions that you want to happen when certain event conditions are met.
To add interactivity to your model, you need to create at least one animation script.
Each script can contain the following components:
■ One or more events
■ One or more actions
Your model can have as many scripts as you want, but only the active scripts are executed.
You can group the scripts into folders. This has no effect on their execution, except that the contents of a folder
can be easily activated/deactivated to save time.
To add a script
