Making a "stop motion" animation

Hi all,

I've implemented Positioninterpolator, Orientationinterpolator and
Timersensor nodes

to make a moving object in my VRML world.

The object moves and turns exactly the way i want, but now, what can i
do to make the

object stopping in every position present in keyvalue field?

All that i want is that my object starts and stop continuosly in every
position for a configurable time, i.e. just to describe a robot that
stops, make its measurement, and restart again to reach new position.

Thanks in advance.

Best.

You could write two times the position, so during this interval the
position won't change (just the same for orientation).
Example :

PositionInterpolator {
key [0 0 0, 2 1 0, 2 1 0, 3 0 0, 0 0 0]
keyValue [0 .25 .5 .75 1]
}

(not tested)

Bye

it works!

thanks a lot!

i've doubled both key and keyvalue fields and was the same, but instead
only the keyvalue has to be doubled.
