Unigine::World Class
Header: | #include <UnigineWorld.h> |
This class provides functionality for the world script. It contains methods required for loading the world with all its nodes, managing a spatial tree and handling nodes collisions and intersections.
Loading of nodes on demand is managed via the AsyncQueue Class.

So, you can use all advantages of node references when building worlds in the UnigineEditor and manage a clear and straightforward hierarchy at run time.Return value
1 if automatic unpacking of node references at run time is enabled; otherwise, 0.void updateSpatial ( ) #
Updates the node BSP (binary space partitioning) tree.
The engine calls this method automatically each frame after the world script update() code is executed. As a new node becomes a part of the BSP tree only after this method is called, all engine subsystems (renderer, physics, sound, pathfinding, collisions, intersections, etc.) can process this node only in the next frame. If you need the subsystem to process the node in the very first frame, you can call the updateSpatial() method manually. The engine will call this method automatically after the update() code is executed anyways.
void setUpdateGridSize ( float size ) #
Sets the size of the grid to be used for spatial tree update. The default value is an average one, and can be adjusted when necessary depending on the scene.Arguments

Return value
First node of the specified type, if it exists in the world; otherwise, nullptr.void getNodesByType ( int type, Vector<Ptr<Node>> & nodes ) const#

Return value
true if a node with the specified name exists in the world; otherwise, false.void clearBindings ( ) #
Clears internal buffers with pointers and instances. This function is used for proper cloning of objects with hierarchies, for example, bodies and joints. Should be called before cloning.void getRootNodes ( Vector<Ptr<Node>> & nodes ) #
Gets all root nodes in the world hierarchy and puts them to nodes. Doesn't include cached nodes.Arguments
int getRootNodeIndex ( const Ptr<Node> & node ) const#
Returns the index for the specified root node, that belongs to the world hierarchy.Arguments
Return value
Index of the specified root node if it exists; otherwise, -1.void setRootNodeIndex ( const Ptr<Node> & node, int index ) #
Sets a new index for the specified root node, that belongs to the world hierarchy.Arguments
- const Ptr<Node> & node - Root node, for which a new index is to be set.
- int index - New index to be set for the specified root node.
void * addCallback ( int callback, Unigine::CallbackBase1< const char *> * func ) #
Adds a callback of the specified type. Callback functions can be used to determine actions to be performed when the world is loaded, saved, or cleared. The signature of the callback function must be as follows:void callback_function_name(const char *world_path);
Arguments
- int callback - Callback type. One of the CALLBACK_* variables.
- Unigine::CallbackBase1< const char *> * func - Callback pointer.
Return value
ID of the last added callback of the specified type, if the callback was added successfully; otherwise, nullptr. This ID can be used to remove this callback when necessary.void * addCallback ( int callback, Unigine::CallbackBase2< const char *, Ptr <Node> > * func ) #
Adds a callback of the specified type. This method adds a callback function to be used to determine actions to be performed when a node in the world is saved. The signature of the callback function must be as follows:void callback_function_name(const char *world_path, NodePtr node);
Arguments
- int callback - Callback type. One of the CALLBACK_* variables.
- Unigine::CallbackBase2< const char *, Ptr <Node> > * func - Callback pointer.
Return value
ID of the last added callback of the specified type, if the callback was added successfully; otherwise, nullptr. This ID can be used to remove this callback when necessary.bool removeCallback ( int callback, void * id ) #
Removes the specified callback from the list of callbacks of the specified type. Callback functions can be used to determine actions to be performed when the world is loaded, saved, or cleared.Arguments
- int callback - Callback type. One of the CALLBACK_* variables.
- void * id - Callback ID obtained when adding it.
Return value
True if the callback with the given ID was removed successfully; otherwise false.void clearCallbacks ( int callback ) #
Clears all added callbacks of the specified type. Callback functions can be used to determine actions to be performed when the world is loaded, saved, or cleared.Arguments
- int callback - Callback type. One of the CALLBACK_* variables.
void setMovingImmovableNodeMode ( World::MOVING_IMMOVABLE_NODES_MODE mode ) #
- At run-time for procedural generation of levels. This may cause some freezing but won't affect performance much. Upon completion of the generation process you should enable warnings again.
- On world initialization, this will change world loading time but won't affect overall performance.
Arguments
- World::MOVING_IMMOVABLE_NODES_MODE mode - New handling mode for attempts to move Immovable nodes to be set.
World::MOVING_IMMOVABLE_NODES_MODE getMovingImmovableNodeMode ( ) const#
