[SOLVED] How create nodes in script before adding them to the editor ?

[p.vaz]

Hi,

 

I would like to create a node hierarchy in a script and add it to the editor. I've made a simple project to test that, with a simple body, a static graphic mesh (child of the body) and a convex shape from the mesh.

 

But when I create the nodes in the script, the mesh appears in the editor's view before i had it to the editor.

Here is my code from unigine_project.cpp (the zip of the project is in the attached file also).

#include <core/unigine.h>

int init() {

// load editor
if (!engine.editor.isLoaded()) {
engine.console.run("editor_load");
}

PlayerSpectator camera = new PlayerSpectator();
camera.setPosition(Vec3(2.0f,0.0f,1.5f));
camera.setDirection(Vec3(-1.0f,0.0f,-0.5f));
engine.game.setPlayer(camera);

/////////////////////////////////////////
// create node hierarchy in the script
/////////////////////////////////////////
ObjectDummy m_rootNode = class_remove(new ObjectDummy());
m_rootNode.setName("ROOT");
//m_rootNode.setEnabled(0);

// create body and convex shape
Body body = class_remove(new BodyRigid()); 
m_rootNode.setBody(body);
ObjectMeshStatic objMesh = class_remove(new ObjectMeshStatic("chassis.mesh", 0));
ShapeConvex shapeConvex = class_remove(new ShapeConvex()); 
shapeConvex.setObject(objMesh, -1, 0.125);
shapeConvex.setBody(body);
shapeConvex.setName("shape convex");

// graphic mesh
objMesh.setName("mesh");
objMesh.setMaterial("mesh_base","*");
objMesh.setProperty("surface_base","*");
objMesh.setCollider(0);

// add child to the root node
m_rootNode.addChild(objMesh); 

// Question : Why at this point we can see the mesh in the scene ?
// Question : Why when I click on it in the editor I get the error : ObjectDummy 000000000CFE8D00 external (115:0:0) is not an editor node 

// add the node to editor
//engine.editor.addNode(m_rootNode);

return 1;
}

int shutdown() {
return 1;
}

int update() {
return 1;
}

- Why can we see the mesh in the editor's view before adding it to the editor ?

- Have I made something wrong in the construction ? 

- I've seen in a post that if I disable the node in the script, ( cf line //m_rootNode.setEnabled(0) ) it makes the mesh disappeared. Is this the solution or only a trick ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Philippe­,

 

When you create visual object, it appears on scene, no matter who is owner. So yes, its a normal solution to call setEnable(0). Adding node to editor makes it editable in editor (click on it etc.).

Thanks for the reply !
