Unigine.NodeTrigger Class

Creating a Trigger Node#

To create a Trigger node, simply call the NodeTrigger constructor and then add the node as a child to another node, for which handlers should be executed.

Source code (C#)

private NodeTrigger trigger;
private ObjectMeshStatic obj;

private void Init()
{

	// create a mesh
	Mesh mesh = new Mesh();
	mesh.AddBoxSurface("box_0", new vec3(1.0f));
	// create a node (e.g. an instance of the ObjectMeshStatic class)
	obj = new ObjectMeshStatic("core/meshes/box.mesh");
	// change material albedo color
	obj.SetMaterialParameterFloat4("albedo_color", new vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0);
	// create a trigger node
	trigger = new NodeTrigger();
	
	// add it as a child to the static mesh
	obj.AddWorldChild(trigger);

}

Editing a Trigger Node#

Editing a trigger node includes implementing and specifying the Enabled and Position event handlers that are executed on enabling or positioning the Trigger node correspondingly.

The event handler function must receive at least 1 argument of the NodeTrigger type. In addition, it can also take another 2 arguments of any type.

The event handlers are set via pointers specified when subscribing to the following events: EventEnabled and EventPosition.

Source code (C#)

private NodeTrigger trigger;
private ObjectMeshStatic obj;

// the position event handler
void position_event_handler(NodeTrigger trigger)
{
	Log.Message("Object position has been changed. New position is: {0}\n", trigger.WorldPosition.ToString());
}
// the enabled event handler
void enabled_event_handler(NodeTrigger trigger)
{
	Log.Message("The enabled event handler is {0}\n", trigger.Enabled);
}

private void Init()
{

	// create a mesh
	Mesh mesh = new Mesh();
	mesh.AddBoxSurface("box_0", new vec3(1.0f));
	// create a node (e.g. an instance of the ObjectMeshStatic class)
	obj = new ObjectMeshStatic("core/meshes/box.mesh");
	// change material albedo color
	obj.SetMaterialParameterFloat4("albedo_color", new vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), 0);
	// create a trigger node
	trigger = new NodeTrigger();
	
	// add it as a child to the static mesh
	obj.AddWorldChild(trigger);

	// add the enabled event handler to be executed when the node is enabled/disabled
	trigger.EventEnabled.Connect(enabled_event_handler);
	// add the position event handler to be executed when the node position is changed
        trigger.EventPosition.Connect(position_event_handler);

}

private void Update()
{

	float time = Game.Time;
	Vec3 pos = new Vec3(MathLib.Sin(time) * 2.0f, MathLib.Cos(time) * 2.0f, 0.0f);
	// change the enabled flag of the node
	obj.Enabled = pos.x > 0.0f || pos.y > 0.0f;
	// change the node position
	obj.WorldPosition = pos;

}

NodeTrigger Class

Properties

Event<NodeTrigger> EventPosition#

The Event triggered when the trigger node position has changed. The event handler must receive a NodeTrigger as its first argument. In addition, it can also take 2 arguments of any type. You can subscribe to events via Connect() and unsubscribe via Disconnect(). You can also use EventConnection and EventConnections classes for convenience (see examples below).

Notice

For more details see the Event Handling article.

The event handler signature is as follows: myhandler(NodeTrigger trigger)

Usage Example

Source code (C#)

// implement the Position event handler
void position_event_handler(NodeTrigger trigger)
{
	Log.Message("\Handling Position event\n");
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// other subscriptions are also linked to this EventConnections instance 
// (e.g. you can subscribe using lambdas)
publisher.EventPosition.Connect(position_event_connections, (NodeTrigger trigger) => {

Event<NodeTrigger> EventEnabled#
