Notice
IG plugin must be loaded.

Entity Class

Enums

STATE#

NameDescription
INACTIVE = The entity is inactive.
ACTIVE = The entity is active.
DESTROYED = The entity is destroyed.

CLAMP#

NameDescription
NO_CLAMP = Altitude clamping for entity is disabled.
NON_CONFORMAL = Altitude parameter specifies an offset of the entity above the ground level.
CONFORMAL = Altitude parameter specifies an offset of the entity above the sea level.

CLAMP_HEIGHT_MODE#

NameDescription
RELATIVE = Clamp height mode that makes the entity to be clamped to the ground and the height be calculated from the ground.
IGNORE = Clamp height mode that makes the entity to be clamped to the ground and the height be ignored.

ANIM_DIR#

NameDescription
ANIM_DIR_FORWARD = Forward direction of the entity animation playback.
ANIM_DIR_BACKWARD = Backward direction of the entity animation playback.

ANIM_LOOP#

NameDescription
ANIM_LOOP_ONESHOT = Oneshot mode of the entity animation playback.

NameDescription
ANIM_STATE_STOP = Stop entity animation playback.
ANIM_STATE_PAUSE = Pause entity animation playback.

COORD_SYSTEM#

NameDescription
