Switcher
A switcher is an object that disables or enables its child nodes at the specified distance to the camera. Possible use cases can be the following:
- Enabling one object and disabling another at the specified distance
- Disabling an object while moving away
- Enabling an object while approaching
Notice
To be operated, the child nodes of the switcher should be placed inside the switcher object fully or partially.
Each object at the picture is composed from a switcher and 2 spheres of different color.

Adding a Switcher
To add a switcher to the scene via UnigineEditor, do the following:
- Run the project with UnigineEditor.
- On the Menu bar, click Create -> World -> Switcher.
- Place the object somewhere in the world.
- Make the object that will be operated the child of the switcher.
- Specify the switcher parameters and the distance of enabling / disabling.
Switching between Two Objects
To switch between two object at the specified distance (like shown at the picture above), do the following:
- Create a node dummy for convenient grouping.
- Make the first switcher the child of the node dummy.
- Make the first object the child of the first switcher and specify its maximum visibility distance.
- Make the second switcher the child of the node dummy.
- Make the second object the child of the second switcher and specify its minimum visibility distance.
NoticeFor objects to be switched at the same point, the maximum visibility distance of the first and minimum visibility distance of the second should match.
