 Ping Pong: Completes the sequence animation cycle forward, then completes the
animation backward, then forward, and so on.
Using the Sequence Replicator Custom Traversal Option
When Traversal is set to Custom, you can create location keyframes to specify where
the effect of the sequence is at any given time. This allows you to create a sequence
animation that travels through a replicator pattern in a unique way. In this example, use
the Custom Traversal option to scale the elements around a circle replicator shape by
creating keyframes.
To use the Custom Traversal parameter:
1 Once the Sequence Replicator behavior is applied to the replicator, add the parameters
that you want to include in the sequence in the Behaviors tab.
2 Set the values for the added parameters. In this example, the Scale parameter is added
and the Scale value set to 200%.
For more information on adding parameters to the Sequence Replicator behavior, see
“
Adding Parameters to the Sequence Replicator Behavior ” on page 823.
3 Choose Custom from the Traversal pop-up menu.
The Location parameter becomes available.
4 Enable Record (press A).
Sequence behavior applied to replicator with
Scale parameter set to 200%, Sequencing set to
Through, and Spread set to 4
When Traversal is set to Custom, the Location parameter
becomes available. Use the Location slider to keyframe
how the sequence moves through the replicator pattern.
