Research Assignment

When trying to understand the basics in using sandbox, I found understanding the fundamental concept of cause and effect vital in implementing flowgraphs. With both my experiments I struggled with how to convert my ideas into a flowgraph. It is something that I still struggle with, but from these two experiments I've learnt the importance in understanding the cause and effect concept in the form of using triggers. My aim was to create a tutorial that just covers using triggers, which can be applied and linked to numerous cases. In the tutorial I explain the basic uses of a proximity trigger and a time of day trigger.

"Gap of knowledge":

Though a simple and easy concept, using triggers in sandbox seems to be something that is somewhat overlooked/assumed in many tutorials I have seen. As a whole using triggers seems to be implemented in a specific, case by case sense, rather than a general broader topic which can be applied for uses in many circumstances. My tutorial is aimed at filling a gap between sandbox basics and advanced/specific flowgraph tutorials

Tutorial level:

The tutorial subject would be most useful for beginners who don't have a full understanding of the flowgraph. There is an assumed knowledge of the basic sandbox interface and a basic understanding of the flowgraph.
