Frapper Node, that generates one or multiple float values, that change over time to represend a cycling action. Start at 0, peak at 1, end up at 0 again. Every parameter is randomized, additionally a bool value is "fired" at each begin of an Action Cycle (set to true for one frame). The state of the node can be saved and loaded in an XML File. Additional outputs with relative factors to the Master Value can be defined and are also saveable. If no XML File is defined, the general values of the node are still saved in the scene - yet additional outputs are lost. More...
