ROUTES


In the section events it was mentioned that a node can send and receive events.

ROUTES are a simple way of defining a path between an event generated by a node and a node receiving an event. The syntax is:

ROUTE Node.eventOut_changed TO Node.set_eventIn
Note: because all exposed fields define implicitly an eventIn and an eventOut fields, you don't have to write the prefix 'set_' or the suffix '_changed'. The following syntax is valid in VRML as long as the eventIn and the eventOut which appear in the ROUTE sentence belong to exposed fields.
ROUTE Node.eventOut TO Node.eventIn
Because every time an exposed field is changed an event is generated it is possible to have a cascade of events being generated. A time stamp is given to each event which is generated, the same time stamp being given for all events in a cascade as if all events in a cascade occurred simultaneously.

Now there is something missing isn't it? In the section events it was mentioned the eventIn of an exposed field was used to set the value of the respective field. However looking at the syntax of ROUTE there is no explicit declaration of what the new value is. As mentioned before in this section "ROUTES are a SIMPLE way of defining a path...", and SIMPLE in this case has some limitations. The new value for the field associated with the eventIn is the value of the field which caused the eventOut to be generated.

Big deal, so what can I do with routes if I can't specify the value for the field that I'm about to set? Well, you actually can do that using a middle man, see Interpolators.

A cascade of events may result in an event being generated more than once in the same cascade, this can cause a loop of events. In VRML loops are not allowed, an event shall only be generated once in each cascade of events. You don't have to worry about this, the browser will disable any event which is repeated with the same time stamp.

It is possible that two different generated events in a cascade are linked with a ROUTE to an eventIn. Results are undefined in this case. You should try to avoid this type of situations.
