Unigine::NodeTrigger Class

Header:#include <UnigineNodes.h>
Inherits:Node

A trigger node is a zero-sized node that has no visual representation and fires callbacks when:

  • It is enabled/disabled (the enabled callback function is called).
  • Its transformation is changed (the position callback function is called).
The trigger node is usually added as a child node to another node, so that the callbacks will be fired on the parent node enabling/disabling or transforming.

For example, to detect if some node has been enabled (for example, a world clutter node that renders nodes only around the camera has enabled it), the trigger node is added as a child to this node and fires the corresponding callback.

Creating a Trigger Node

To create a trigger node, simply call the NodeTrigger constructor and then add the node as a child to another node, for which callbacks should be fired.

Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.h

#include <UnigineLogic.h>
#include <UnigineStreams.h>
#include <UnigineObjects.h>
#include <UnigineNodes.h>
#include <UnigineCallback.h>
#include <UnigineLog.h>

using namespace Unigine;

class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic {

public:
	AppWorldLogic();
	virtual ~AppWorldLogic();

	virtual int init();
	
	virtual int update();
	virtual int render();
	virtual int flush();
	
	virtual int shutdown();
	virtual int destroy();
	
	virtual int save(const Unigine::StreamPtr &stream);
	virtual int restore(const Unigine::StreamPtr &stream);

private:

	ObjectMeshStaticPtr object;
	NodeTriggerPtr trigger;
};
Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.cpp

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"

#include <UnigineEditor.h>

using namespace Math;

int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	
	// create a mesh
	MeshPtr mesh = Mesh::create();
	mesh->addBoxSurface("box_0", vec3(1.0f));
	// create a node (e.g. an instance of the ObjectMeshStatic class)
	object = ObjectMeshStatic::create(mesh);
	object->release();
	object->setMaterial("mesh_base", "*");
	object->setMaterialParameter("albedo_color", vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0);

	// create a trigger node
	trigger = NodeTrigger::create();
	trigger->release();
	// add it as a child to the static mesh
	object->addWorldChild(trigger->getNode());
	// add nodes to UnigineEditor
	Editor::get()->addNode(object->getNode());

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::shutdown() {
	
	// clear pointers
	trigger.clear();
	object.clear();

	return 1;
}

Editing a Trigger Node

Editing a trigger node includes implementing and specifying the enabled and postion callbacks that are fired on enabling or positioning the trigger node correspondingly.

The callback function must receive at least 1 argument of the NodeTrigger type. In addition, it can also take another 2 arguments of any type.

The callback functions can be set by callback pointers or names:

  1. setEnabledCallback() and setPositionCallback() receive pointers to the callback functions.
  2. setEnabledCallbackName() and setPositionCallbackName() receive names of the callback functions implemented in the world script (on the UnigineScript side). In this case, the callback functions can receive no arguments or 1 argument of the Node or NodeTrigger type.
    Notice
    These methods allow for setting callbacks with 0 or 1 argument only. To set callbacks with additional arguments, use setEnabledCallback()/setPositionCallback().

Setting the callback functions by pointers:

Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.h

#include <UnigineLogic.h>
#include <UnigineStreams.h>
#include <UnigineObjects.h>
#include <UnigineNodes.h>
#include <UnigineCallback.h>
#include <UnigineLog.h>

using namespace Unigine;

class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic {
	
public:
	AppWorldLogic();
	virtual ~AppWorldLogic();
	
	virtual int init();
	
	virtual int update();
	virtual int render();
	virtual int flush();
	
	virtual int shutdown();
	virtual int destroy();
	
	virtual int save(const Unigine::StreamPtr &stream);
	virtual int restore(const Unigine::StreamPtr &stream);

private:

	ObjectMeshStaticPtr object;
	NodeTriggerPtr trigger;

	void position_callback(NodeTriggerPtr trigger)
	{
		Log::message("Object position has been changed. New position is: (%f %f %f)\n", trigger->getWorldPosition().x, trigger->getWorldPosition().y, trigger->getWorldPosition().z);
	}

	void enabled_callback(NodeTriggerPtr trigger)
	{
		Log::message("The enabled flag is %d\n", trigger->isEnabled());
	}
};
Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.cpp

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"

#include <UnigineEditor.h>

using namespace Math;

int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	
	// create a mesh
	MeshPtr mesh = Mesh::create();
	mesh->addBoxSurface("box_0", vec3(1.0f));
	// create a node (e.g. an instance of the ObjectMeshStatic class)
	object = ObjectMeshStatic::create(mesh);
	object->release();
	object->setMaterial("mesh_base", "*");
	object->setMaterialParameter("albedo_color", vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0);

	// create node trigger
	trigger = NodeTrigger::create();
	trigger->release();
	// add the trigger node to the static mesh as a child node
	object->addWorldChild(trigger->getNode());
	// add nodes to UnigineEditor
	Editor::get()->addNode(object->getNode());
	
	// set the enabled and position callbacks
	trigger->setEnabledCallback(MakeCallback(this, &AppWorldLogic::enabled_callback));
	trigger->setPositionCallback(MakeCallback(this, &AppWorldLogic::position_callback));

	return 1;
}

int AppWorldLogic::shutdown() {
	
	// clear pointers
	trigger.clear();
	object.clear();

	return 1;
}

Setting the callback functions by their names:

  1. Implement the callback functions in the world script (on the UnigineScript side).
  2. Set the callback functions for the trigger node by using their names on the C++ side (AppWorldLogic.cpp).
Source code (UnigineScript)
// unigine_project.cpp

#include <core/unigine.h>

// the enabled callback
void enabled_callback(NodeTrigger trigger) {
	
	log.message("Enabled flag is %d\n", trigger.isEnabled());
}
// the position callback
void position_callback(NodeTrigger trigger) {
	
	log.message("The node position is %s\n", typeinfo(trigger.getWorldPosition()));
}

int init() {

	// some logic if required
	return 1;
}
Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.cpp

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"

#include <UnigineCallback.h>
#include <UnigineEditor.h>
#include <UnigineNodes.h>

using namespace Unigine;

int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	
	// create a trigger node 
	NodeTriggerPtr trigger = NodeTrigger::create();
	// release script ownership
	trigger->release();
	// add the node to UnigineEditor
	Editor::get()->addNode(trigger->getNode());
	
	// set the enabled and position callbacks
	trigger->setEnabledCallbackName("enabled_callback");
	trigger->setPositionCallbackName("position_callback");

	return 1;
}
