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.

Notice
C++ methods running editor script functions are described in the Engine class reference.

  • AsyncQueue Class to manage loading nodes and other resources on demand.

Members


int isAutoReloadNodeReferences ( ) #

Returns a value indicating if automatic reloading of NodeReferences is enabled. If enabled all NodeReference nodes will reload their *.node files, when the saveNode() method is called.
Notice
This option can be used if you modify and save reference nodes at runtime. Otherwise you'll have to manually update pointers for all NodeReferences referring to the changed node.

Return value

1 if automatic reloading of NodeReferences is enabled; otherwise, 0.

void setAutoReloadNodeReferences ( int references ) #

Enables automatic reloading of NodeReferences. If enabled all NodeReference nodes will reload their *.node files, when the saveNode() method is called.
Notice
This option can be used if you modify and save reference nodes at runtime. Otherwise you'll have to manually update pointers for all NodeReferences referring to the changed node.

Arguments

  • int references - 1 to enable automatic reloading of NodeReferences; 0 - to disable it. The default value is 0.

World * get ( ) #

Returns a pointer to the World instance.

Return value

Pointer to World.

void setBudget ( float budget ) #

Sets the world generation budget value for Grass and Clutter objects. New objects are not created when time is out of the budget.

Arguments

  • float budget - The budget value in seconds.

float getBudget ( ) #

Returns the value of the world generation budget for Grass and Clutter objects. New objects are not created when time is out of the budget.

Return value

The budget value in seconds. The default value is 1/60.

int getCollision ( const UNIGINE_BOUND_BOX & bb, Vector< Ptr<Object> > & objects ) #

Searches for all collider objects within a given bounding box.
Notice
As a new node becomes a part of the BSP tree only after the updateSpatial() method is called (the engine calls the method automatically each frame after the world script update() code is executed), all engine subsystems can process this node only in the next frame. If you need to get the node in the very first frame, call the updateSpatial() method manually. The engine will call this method automatically after the update() code is executed anyways.

Arguments

  • const UNIGINE_BOUND_BOX & bb - Bounding box.
  • Vector< Ptr<Object> > & objects - Array with collider objects' smart pointers.

Return value

1 if collider objects are found; otherwise, 0.

Arguments

  • const UNIGINE_BOUND_SPHERE & bs - Bounding sphere.

Collisions with the surface can be found only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  1. The surface is enabled.
  2. Per-surface Collision flag is enabled.

Return value

1 if the nodes are loaded successfully; otherwise, 0.

int saveNode ( const char * name, const Ptr<Node> & node, int binary = 0 ) #

Saves a given node to a file.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Path to the *.node file.
  • const Ptr<Node> & node - Pointer to the node to save.
  • int binary - If set to 1, the node is saved to the binary *.xml. This file cannot be read, but using it speeds up the saving of the node and requires less disk space.

Return value

1 if the node is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.

int saveNodes ( const char * name, const Vector< Ptr<Node> > & nodes, int binary = 0 ) #

Saves nodes to a file.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Path to the *.node file.
  • const Vector< Ptr<Node> > & nodes - Array of nodes' smart pointers to be saved.
  • int binary - If set to 1, the node is saved to the binary *.xml. This file cannot be read, but using it speeds up the saving of the node and requires less disk space.

Return value

1 if the nodes are saved successfully; otherwise, 0.

void setUnpackNodeReferences ( int references ) #

Enables or disables automatic unpacking of node references at run time. This option can be used to simplify hierarchy management, as when it is enabled all nodes contained in node references will be present in the world hierarchy. When disabled you have to check the hierarchy of each node reference individually (e.g. to find the number of children or manage some of them). The content of NodeReference nodes is unpacked only at run time and does not affect your *.world and *.node files. 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.
Notice
This option is available only via code, can be enabled in the System Script and works for all worlds used in your project.

Arguments

  • int references - 1 - to enable automatic unpacking of node references at run time, 0 - to disable it.

int isUnpackNodeReferences ( ) #

Returns the value indicating if automatic unpacking of node references at run time is enabled. This option can be used to simplify hierarchy management, as when it is enabled all nodes contained in node references will be present in the world hierarchy. When disabled you have to check the hierarchy of each node reference individually (e.g. to find the number of children or manage some of them). The content of NodeReference nodes is unpacked only at run time and does not affect your *.world and *.node files. 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.
Notice
This option is available only via code, can be enabled in the System Script and works for all worlds used in your project.

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

  • float size - New grid size, in units. The default value is 1000 units.

float getUpdateGridSize ( ) #

Returns the current 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.

Return value

Current grid size, in units. The default value is 1000 units.

int removeNode ( const Ptr<Node> & node, int with_children = 1 ) #

Deletes a given node completely.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Node> & node - Node to be removed
  • int with_children - 1 — update the target parent nodes along with all their children nodes; 0 — update the target parent nodes without their children nodes.

Return value

1 if the node is removed successfully; otherwise, 0.

void setScriptExecute ( int execute ) #

Sets a value indicating if a logic script associated with the world is to be loaded with it.

Arguments

  • int execute - 1 - to load the world along with the associated logic script (if any), 0 - to ignore it.

int isScriptExecute ( ) #

Returns a value indicating if a logic script associated with the world is to be loaded with it.

Return value

1 if a logic script associated with the world is to be loaded with it; otherwise, 0.

int releaseNode ( const Ptr<Node> & node ) #

Releases the specified node. After calling this method the node shall no longer be owned by the world, and won't be deleted automatically on closing the world.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Node> & node - Node to be released by the world.

Return value

1 if the specified node was successfully released by the world; otherwise, 0.

int grabNode ( const Ptr<Node> & node ) #

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Node> & node - Node to be grabbed by the world.

Return value

1 if the specified node was successfully grabbed by the world; otherwise, 0.Grabs the specified node. After calling this method the node shall be owned by the world, and shall be automatically deleted on closing the world.
