To use the Custom Traversal parameter
1 After the Sequence Replicator behavior is applied to the replicator, add the parameters (in the
Behaviors Inspector) you want to include in the sequence.
2 Set the values for the added parameters.
In this example, the Scale parameter is added and the Scale value set to 200%.
Sequence behavior applied to replicator with
Scale parameter set to 200%, Sequencing
set to Through, and Spread set to 4
For more information on adding parameters to the Sequence Replicator behavior, see Add
parameters to the Sequence Replicator behavior on page 598.
3 From the Traversal pop-up menu, choose Custom.
The Location parameter becomes available. Use the Location slider to keyframe how the
sequence moves through the replicator pattern.
4 Press A to enable keyframe recording.
5 At the frame where you want to begin the animation, drag the Location slider (or use the
adjacent value slider) to set where the sequence begins.
As you drag the slider, the sequence moves through the pattern elements. Values displayed in
the Location parameter specify where in the pattern the sequence is (in percentage points)—0
representing the origin of the pattern, and 100% representing the end of the pattern.
In the Inspector, a keyframe is added to the Location parameter.
6 Go to the next frame where you want to set a keyframe, and move the Location slider.
7 Repeat step 6 until you create all your keyframes.
8 Play the project (press the Space bar).
The animation moves through the replicator pattern based on its keyframed locations.
In this case, the scale moves erratically back and forth around the circle, rather than in a
constant direction.
