Research Assignment Idea

Write a paragraph describing the the tutorial subject that occupies the intersection between your work in EXP1 or EXP2 and one of the gaps in the body of knowledge. This will form the basis that you will expand upon for the final 500 word text.

For this research assignment, I have decided to base my tutorial on proximity triggers, in particular the notion of trigger a change in the time of day. In engaging with experiments 1 and 2 of this course and research undertaken for my porosity lens, I discovered that there was little information on the internet in the form of tutorials and forum topics that thoroughly explores proximity triggers. Additionally, I found throughout my research that there was very little infomation on the Time: node, in particular how to change the time of day. For the second experiment, I wanted to use these two concepts within my porosity lens to record the interelationship between the crysis environemnt and AI Characters. With the old form of trial and error, and basic knowledge aquired from the WIKI-CRYMOD and MAXEDGAMING.COM, I was able to finally get the game play to trigger a change of time. However, there was a delay between the time the player triggered the change of time and when the sky updated. This is the fundamental idea behind my tutorial.
