save a node (recursively) to a .node file

[p.vaz]

Hi,

 

In a unigine script, I would like to save a Node (recursively) in a .node file. I've searched in the documentation in the functions of engine.world but it seems that the function saveNode() exists only for C++ and C#.

https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.3/api/library/engine/class.world?rlang=usc

 

I've tested anyway the function engine.world.saveNode(file, n) in my unigine script and I was happy (and also surprised) that it works.

 

I need to know : is it an omission in the documentation  ? or is it a function that will disapppear later ?

 

Regards

Hi Philippe,

 

This is misprint in our docs, sorry. Will be fixed ASAP.

 

saveNode and saveNodes methods actually take up to 4 arguments:
 

virtual int saveNode(const char *name, const Ptr<Node> &node, int materials = 1, int binary = 0) const = 0;
virtual int saveNodes(const char *name, const Vector< Ptr<Node> > &nodes, int materials = 1, int binary = 0) const = 0;

materials and binary flags do the following:

• material means that info about material library will be saved (1) or not (0). By default enabled;
• binary means to store as plain xml (0) or in binary format (1). Can be used to save space for example (binary representation is generally smaller in size).

Thanks for noticing that!
