Players
Players are cameras creating viewports into the world:
Player Actor is a player with a rigid physical body that can only walk on the ground.-
Player Dummy is a simple viewport into the world that has no physical properties and cannot collide with objects.
-
Player Persecutor is a free flying camera without a physical body that follows the target node at the specified distance. It can collide with objects but cannot interact with them.
-
Player Spectator is a free flying camera without a physical body that is used to create a spectator mode. It can collide with objects but cannot push or interact with them.

Setting Bit Masks#
A set of bit-masks available for the player:
| Viewport | Viewport mask, specifying objects that can be seen in the camera's viewport. |
|---|---|
| Reflection | Reflection mask, specifying if the reflections will be rendered into the camera's viewport. |
| Source | Sound source mask, specifying what sound channels are played for this camera. |
| Reverb | Reverberation mask, specifying what reverberations are played for this camera. |
Viewing Frustum Parameters#
Depending on the FOV Mode, parameters defining a player's viewing frustum differ:
- Vertical FOV is used for the standard player. In this case, the FOV is set in degrees.
- Physically-Based Camera is used for the physically-based player with the horizontal FOV. In this case, the FOV is calculated depending on the film gate and focal length of the player according to the formula:
FOV = 2 * atan(film_gate / (2 * focal_length)) * UNIGINE_RAD2DEG
