Time Table Number Array creation
The SpArray is a nested array of numbers
ie; #(#(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,
),...,#(0,5,10,15,20,
)...)
By creating this timetable, we can change the speed of the spider animation
per walk cycle loop. At the beginning of each Walk Cycle Loop we have
a start time variable called ThisStepTime. As we call functions to be
completed on each leg group we will need to advance the variable ThisTime.
ThisTime is used in every function as the current frame of activity. With
each advance of time, we will reestablish ThisTime by adding ThisStepTime
+ SpArray[SpeedStep][TimeStep].
Ok, thats confusing, just trace your eye the though the script to
see how it works. The point of all this TimeTable Array business to allow
us to always know when some thing is happen with a certainty and allow
us to reuse looping code.
