Chapter 15 Replicator 600
The animation begins at the original value for any added parameter, then transforms to the value
you specify in the Sequence Replicator parameters. The animation begins at the origin of the
pattern (set in the Origin or Build Style parameter of the Replicator Inspector or HUD) and moves
to the end of the pattern.
Adjust the Sequence Control parameters
After you create a sequence animation, you can use Sequence Control parameters to change
the manner in which the sequence moves through the replicator pattern. The following section
continues with the project used in the previous example.
Change the way the sequence moves through the pattern
1 With the Sequence Replicator behavior selected, play the project (press the Space bar) to see the
effects of the sequencing.
By default, Sequencing is set to To, which specifies that the animation begins at the original value
of the cells and moves to the value set in the Sequence Replicator behavior for that parameter.
The starting point for the sequence animation is based on the build or origin of the pattern
(as defined in the Origin or Build Style parameters in the Replicator Inspector). In the current
example, the elements begin completely opaque, at 100% scale, and with 0 degrees of rotation
at the origin of the pattern. As the sequence moves toward the end of the pattern, the elements
become completely transparent, are scaled to 190%, and are rotated 160 degrees.
2 In the Sequencing pop-up menu in the Behaviors Inspector, choose From.
The animation moves from the value set in the Sequence Replicator behavior to the original
value of the cells. This is the opposite of the To Sequencing option.
3 In the Sequencing pop-up menu, choose Through.
The sequence goes through a full animation cycle starting at the original value of the cells,
moving to the value set in the Sequence Replicator, then returning to the original value of the
cells. This is similar to combining the To and From Sequencing options.
