Fields

SFNode [in, out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]

Information about this node can be contained in a MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataString or MetadataSet node.

Hint

• X3D Architecture 7.2.4 Metadata

SFBool [in] set_boolean

If input event set_boolean is true, send output triggerTime event.

Hint

• For logical consistency, input event set_boolean false has no effect (under review as part of Mantis issue 519).

Warning

• It is an error to define this transient inputOnly field in an X3D file, instead only use it a destination for ROUTE events.

SFTime [out] triggerTime

triggerTime is output time event, sent when input event set_boolean is true.

Warning

• It is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead only use it a source for ROUTE events.
