csTimeSensor is typically used to drive animations or periodic events.
A csTimeSensor has five inputs:
• enabled
• loop
• startTime
• stopTime
• cycleInterval
A csTimeSensor’s has four output events:
• cycleTime
• fractionChanged
• isActive
• time
Enabling csTimeSensor
To generate time sensor events, you must first enable csTimeSensor by setting the
argument of the following method to TRUE:
csTimeSensor::setEnabled();
If the argument evaluates FALSE, time sensor events are not generated.
To determine whether or not a csTimeSensor is enabled, use the following method:
csTimeSensor::getEnabled();
