#3 TouchSensor not working properly
The TouchSensor fields hitNormal_changed,
hitPoint_changed and hitTexCoord_changed are not
being updated at the correct time.
TouchSensor : X3DTouchSensorNode {
SFString [in,out] description ""
SFBool [in,out] enabled TRUE
SFNode [in,out] metadata NULL
[X3DMetadataObject]
SFVec3f [out] hitNormal_changed
SFVec3f [out] hitPoint_changed
SFVec2f [out] hitTexCoord_changed
SFBool [out] isActive
SFBool [out] isOver
SFTime [out] touchTime
}
According to the spec "Each movement of the pointing
device, while isOver is TRUE, generates
hitPoint_changed, hitNormal_changed and
hitTexCoord_changed events." but this is not
happening on the flux browser. This can be
demonstated using an example from
Floppy's VRML tutorial
http://web3d.vapourtech.com/tutorials/vrml97/worlds/tu
t33a.wrl the small yellow ball should follow the
mouse when the mouse is over the larger red ball.
With the flux browser the small yellow ball only
moves when the user clicks on the larger red ball.
Here is the source code for this example.
