Unigine::PlayerPersecutor Class
| Header: | #include <UniginePlayers.h> |
| Inherits: | Player |
This class is used to create a free flying camera without a physical body that follows the target node at the specified distance. The exact point of the target it follows is called an anchor. The persecutor can either turn around its target or its viewing direction can be fixed. Just like PlayerSpectator it is approximated with a sphere, which allows it to collide with objects (but it cannot, for example, to push or interact with them).

Surface number.void setDistance(float distance)
Sets a distance between the target node and the persecutor. The value will be clamped between the minimum and the maximum distance values.Arguments

Distance in units.void setFixed(int fixed)
Sets a value indicating if the persecutor can freely rotate around its target or it is oriented strictly in one direction. The fixed viewing direction is the same direction the persecutor was looking in when this function is called, though it can be reset to another one afterwards.Arguments
- int fixed - 1 to move independently, 0 to follow the target.
int isFixed()
Returns a value indicating if the persecutor can freely rotate around its target or it is oriented strictly in one direction. The fixed viewing direction is the same direction the persecutor was looking in when the setFixed() function is called, though it can be reset to another one afterwards.Return value
1 if the persecutor moves independently; otherwise, 0.void setMaxDistance(float distance)
Sets the maximum possible distance between the persecutor and the target.Arguments
- float distance - New distance in units.
float getMaxDistance()
Returns the maximum possible distance between the persecutor and the target.Return value
Distance in units.void setMaxThetaAngle(float angle)
Sets the maximum theta angle (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle) that determines how far downward the player can look.Arguments
- float angle - New angle in degrees in range [0;90]. The higher the value, the further down the player can look.
float getMaxThetaAngle()
Returns the maximum theta angle (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle) that determines how far downward the player can look. The higher the value, the further down the player can look.Return value
Angle in degrees.void setMinDistance(float distance)
Sets the minimum possible distance between the persecutor and the target.Arguments
- float distance - New distance in units.
float getMinDistance()
Returns the minimum possible distance between the persecutor and the target.Return value
Distance in units.void setMinThetaAngle(float angle)
Sets the minimum theta angle (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle) that determines how far upward the player can look.Arguments
- float angle - New angle in degrees in range [-90;0]. The lower the value, the further up the player can look.
float getMinThetaAngle()
Returns the minimum theta angle (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle) that determines how far upward the player can look. The lower the value, the further up the player can look.Return value
Angle in degrees.int getNumContacts()
Returns the number of contacts, in which the player's capsule participates.Return value
Number of contacts.void setPhiAngle(float angle)
Sets the phi angle (azimuth angle, also known as yaw angle). This angle determines the horizontal viewing direction, i.e. left or right.Arguments
- float angle - New angle in degrees. Positive values rotate the player right; negative values rotate the player left.
float getPhiAngle()
Returns the phi angle (azimuth angle, also known as yaw angle). This angle determines the horizontal viewing direction, i.e. left or right. Positive values rotate the player right; negative values rotate the player left.Return value

float getThetaAngle()
Returns the theta angle (zenith angle, also known as pitch angle). This angle determines the vertical viewing direction, i.e. upwards or downwards. If a positive value is returned, the player looks upwards; if a negative value is returned, the player looks downwards.
