isActive field shows whether TimeSensor node is active or not.
It outputs fractional times on its fraction_changed eventOut.
The length of time between fractional time 0.0 and 1.0 can be specified by cycleInterval field.
Repetition of the same animation continuously can be requested by setting loop field of node.
When the loop is running, cycleTime outputs the time at which each new cycle starts over so that this eventOut might allow to synchronize several animations in the world.
