4.3.3 Creating Custom Dynamics
As described above, it is possible to configure complex dynamic properties for an object using the
Dynamic Attributes menu item. The dynamics which can be configured using this method may not be ade-
quate for all applications, however. An item on the right mouse button pop-up menu, Custom Dynamics,
allows configuration of additional dynamic properties.
4.3.3.1 Custom Dynamics
Custom dynamic properties can be configured using DynProps to give an object dynamic properties which
are not available using the methods described earlier. Configuration using DynProps, however, is also
more complex. DynProps are text statements containing descriptions of dynamic behavior, written using
the syntax of the GML language. The capabilities and syntax of DynProps are discussed in Chapter 4 of
the SL-GMS Reference Manual.
4.3.3.1.1 Configuring DynProps
Position the pointer over an object and click the right mouse button. Select Custom Dynamics from the
resulting pop-up menu. If a DynProp is attached to the currently selected object, its text will be displayed in
the Edit Custom Dynamics window (
Figure 4-16 ).
Modify the DynProp by adding or deleting text, then click on OK. If the syntax of the DynProp is correct, the
Edit Custom Dynamics window will close. If the syntax is incorrect, an error message will appear and the
window will remain on display. Click on the Format button to automatically indent the DynProp text accord-
ing to convention; the content of the DynProp will not be changed.
✎ Note The Edit Custom Dynamics window can also be opened by
selecting the menu sequence Edit > Object > Custom Dynamics.
