Unigine::Property Class

This class provides an interface for property manipulation: it is used to modify properties that allow you to control values of the logic-related parameters. When a property is assigned to a node, an instanced internal property is created and saved into a .world or .node file. However, rather than the whole list of parameters it contains only the modified ones.

The concepts of a path and a name of the property should be distinguished:

The path specifies where the property is stored on the disk. The path includes a property file name.
The name specifies how the property will be displayed in the UnigineEditor (the Property Hierarchy window, the nodes surface section of the Parameters window). The name can also be used to refer to a property from the code.

By default, the property name and the *.prop file name coincide.

By using functions of this class, you can, for example, implement a properties editor.

Properties specify the way the object will behave and interact with other objects and the scene environment.

A property is a "material" for application logic represented by a set of logic-related parameters. Properties can be used to build components to extend the functionality of nodes.

All properties in the project are organized into a hierarchy. To be modified, properties should be obtained from the hierarchy via API functions.

Property parameters are managed individually via the PropertyParameter class, to get any parameter by its name or ID you should use the getParameterPtr() method.

Source code (C++)

PropertyParameterPtr pPropertyParameter = pProperty->getParameterPtr(); // get "root" parameter
NodePtr pTargetNode = pPropertyParameter->getChild(k)->getValueNode(); // get child with index "k", then its value

// ...

float positionFactor = pPropertyParameter->getChild(k)->getValueFloat();
// etc.

// If you know names, you can use:
pTargetNode = pProperty->getParameterPtr("target")->getValueNode();
positionFactor = pProperty->getParameterPtr("position_factor")->getValueFloat();

Automatic type conversion of property parameters make them act like some universal variables i.e. you can set a new value for an integer parameter int_param and type it like this:

Source code (C++)

PropertyParameterPtr int_param;

/* ... */

// setting a new value of integer parameter using a string
int_param->setValue("15");

// setting a new value of integer parameter using a float
int_param->setValue(5.0f);

// getting integer parameter's value as a string
Log::message("Integer parameter value : %s", int_param->getValueString());

Notice

You can modify only existing parameters of the property. To add or remove new parameters, you should manually edit the .prop file or use API to edit the XML file via the code.

Adding and Removing Properties#

NoticeThe Property class doesn't allow adding a new property to the property hierarchy.

A new property can be added to the hierarchy in one of the following ways:

By creating and editing the corresponding .prop file manually. For example, in the data folder let us create the following file describing a property for a GameObjectUnit:

Source code (XML)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<property version="2.16.0.2" manual="1" editable="0" name="GameObjectsUnit">
	<parameter name="weapon_type" type="switch" items="air,land,all_types">0</parameter>
	<parameter name="attack" type="toggle">1</parameter>
	<parameter name="damage" type="int" max="1000">1</parameter>
	<parameter name="velocity" type="float" max="100">30</parameter>
	<parameter name="material" type="string"/>
</property>

By inheriting from the existing property via Properties::inheritProperty() function or inherit() function of the Property class. For example:
Source code (C++)
```
// inherit a GameObjectsUnit_0 property from the GameObjectsUnit property
PropertyPtr inherited_prop = Properties::findManualProperty("GameObjectsUnit")->inherit("GameObjectsUnit_0", "game_object_unit_0.prop");

// inherit a GameObjectsUnit_1 property from the GameObjectsUnit_0 property via the Manager
Properties::inheritProperty(inherited_prop->getGUID(), "GameObjectsUnit_1", "game_object_unit_1.prop");
```
To save all properties in the hierarchy that can be saved (i.e., editable, having a path specified, and not internal or manual ones) via the Properties::saveProperties() function.
Notice
By default, all parameters and states of the inherited property are the same as specified in the parent property. A child property can override some parameters of its parent or add new ones.
By editing the corresponding .prop file via API: you can open an XML file, write data into it and save it.

To delete a property, you can simply call the removeProperty() function:

Source code (C++)

// remove the property with the given name with all its children and delete the *.prop file
Properties::removeProperty(Properties::findProperty("GameObjectsUnit_0")->getGUID(), 1, 1);

Adding Callbacks

You can add callbacks to track any changes made to the property and its parameters and perform certain actions. The signature of the callback function can be one of the following:

Source code (C++)

// for the CALLBACK_PARAMETER_CHANGED type
void callback_function_name(PropertyPtr property, int parameter_num);

// for all other types
void callback_function_name(PropertyPtr property);

The example below shows how to add a callback to track changes of property parameters and report the name of the property and the changed parameter (suppose we have a manual property named my_prop with an integer parameter named my_int_param).

Source code (C++)

void parameter_changed(PropertyPtr property, int num)
{
	Log::message("Parameter \"%s\" of the property \"%s\" has changed its value.\n", property->getParameterPtr(num)->getName(), property->getName());
	// ...
}

	// somewhere in the code

	// getting a manual property named "my_prop" via the Property Manager
	PropertyPtr property = Properties::findManualProperty("my_prop.prop");

	// setting our callback function on parameter change
	property->addCallback(Property::CALLBACK_PARAMETER_CHANGED, MakeCallback(parameter_changed));

	// changing the value of the "my_int_param" parameter
	property->getParameterPtr("my_int_param")->setValueInt(3);

Usage Example#

To illustrate how properties and their parameters are managed let's make a simple viewer for all properties in the project as well as for their parameters. Our viewer will have the following features:

View the list of all properties used in the project.
View the list of parameters of the currently selected property. Inherited, overridden and unique parameters are displayed in different colors.
Change the value of the selected property parameter.
Reset the value of the selected property parameter.
Inherit a new property from the selected one.
Clone the selected property.
Save the currently selected property to a file.
Reload all properties.

We can add the the following *.prop files to the data folder of our project to check our viewer:

my_property.prop

// for all types except for the CALLBACK_PARAMETER_CHANGED
void callback_function_name(PropertyPtr property);

Here is an example of tracking property name change via callbacks:

Source code (C++)

void name_changed(PropertyPtr property)
{

    // ...
}

// somewhere in the code

// inheriting a new property named "my_prop" from the base property "surface_base" via the Property Manager
PropertyPtr property = Properties::findManualProperty("surface_base")->inherit("my_prop");

#include <functional>
std::function<void(const PropertyParameterPtr &)> recursive_func = [&, this](const PropertyParameterPtr &p)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < p->getNumChildren(); i++)

		// do something... e.g. print parameter names and values
		Log::message("- %s: %s \n", child->getName(), child->getValueString().get());
		
		recursive_func(child);
	}
};

/* ... */
int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	/* ... */
	
	// getting the root parameter of the property

// getting some property named "my_property"
PropertyPtr pProperty = Properties::findManualProperty("my_property");

// trying to get a property parameter named "some_parameter"
PropertyParameterPtr param = pProperty->getParameterPtr("some_parameter");

Arguments

int id - Property parameter ID.

Return value

Property parameter smart pointer.

Notice

This method never returns nullptr, regardless of whether a parameter with the specified ID exists or not. It only displays an error message in the console in case of a non-existing parameter. To check if such parameter really exists, use the PropertyParameter.isExist() method. For example:

Source code (C++)

// getting some property named "my_property"
PropertyPtr pProperty = Properties::findManualProperty("my_property");

// trying to get a property parameter having the ID=30
PropertyParameterPtr param = pProperty->getParameterPtr(30);

// checking if such parameter exists and displaying a message
