Automating animation of Dynamic Components

[mgg]

Hi all,

I did a bunch of SU Ruby programming years ago (created a bezier-based flythrough script that was pretty popular) but haven't touched it since... so I'm kind of a newbie with dormant knowledge.

I have a DC that is fairly complex and has about 6 positions that it goes to sequentially when clicked: There's a master "T" variable that animates onclick, and then a bunch of position and rotation settings are based on the value of this variable.

I'd like to be able to set a global tick to just keep animating it, instead of only 'onclick'. Ideally I'd have a script that triggered the various changes according to a pre-set choreography. Has anyone done that? Any
idea how?

Thanks!
