Unigine.PlayerPersecutor Class
| Inherits from: | 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).

PlayerPersecutor Class
Properties
int NumContacts#
The number of contacts, in which the player's capsule participates.
float ThetaAngle#
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. the value is clamped between the minimum and the maximum theta angle.
float PhiAngle#
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.
float Distance#
The current distance between the target and the persecutor. the value is clamped between the minimum and the maximum distance values.
float Turning#
The A velocity of player turning.
float MaxThetaAngle#
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.
float MinThetaAngle#
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.
float MaxDistance#
The maximum possible distance between the persecutor and the target.
float MinDistance#
The minimum possible distance between the persecutor and the target.
vec3 Anchor#
The Coordinates of an anchor point (in the target node local coordinates), to which the persecutor is bound.
Node Target#
The object currently followed by the persecutor.
float CollisionRadius#
The Radius of the persecutor's collision sphere.
int CollisionMask#
The A collision mask of the persecutor's collision sphere. two objects collide, if they both have matching masks.
int Collision#
The A value indicating if collisions with persecutor's sphere should be taken into account.
bool Fixed#
The 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.
