	)

static

Construct a VisibleEntity.

Parameters

name	The name of this Entity, e.g., "Player 1"
propertyTable	The form is given below. It is intended that subclasses replace the table name and add new fields.

VisibleEntity {
    model        = <modelname>;
    poseSpline   = <ArticulatedModel::PoseSpline>;
    articulatedModelPose = <ArticulatedModel::Pose>;
    md3Pose      = <MD2Model::PoseSequence>;
    visible      = <bool>;
    expressiveLightScatteringProperties = <object>;
    ... // all Entity properties
}

In particular, to pass a custom Shader argument (see also G3D::Args and G3D::UniformTable) for a VisibleEntity, use:

VisibleEntity {
   ...
   articulatedModelPose = ArticulatedModel::Pose {
      ...
      uniformTable = {
          myShaderArg = <value>;
      }
   };
}

See also the properties from Entity::init.

expressiveLightScatteringProperties are stored on the pose object for the specific model chosen so that multiple instances of the same model can exist with different shadow-casting properties.

The poseSpline and castsShadows fields are optional. The Entity base class reads these fields. Other subclasses read their own fields. Do not specify a poseSpline unless you want to override the defaults. Specifying them reduces rendering performance slightly.

Parameters

modelTable	Maps model names that are referenced in propertyTable to shared_ptr<ArticulatedModel>, shared_ptr<MD2Model> or MD3::ModelRef.
scene	May be nullptr

The original caller (typically, a Scene class) should invoke AnyTableReader::verifyDone to ensure that all of the fields specified were read by some subclass along the inheritance chain.
See samples/starter/source/Scene.cpp for an example of use.

◆ init() [3/4]

void G3D::Entity::init	(	const String &	name,
		Scene *	scene,
		AnyTableReader &	propertyTable
	)

protectedinherited

The initialization sequence for Entity and its subclasses is different than for typical C++ classes.

That is because they must avoid throwing exceptions from a constructor when parsing, need to support both AnyTableReader and direct parameter versions, and have to verify that all fields from an AnyTableReader are actually consumed. See samples/entity and G3D::VisibleEntity for examples of how to initialize an Entity subclass.

Parameters

name The name of this Entity, e.g., "Player 1"

propertyTable

The form is given below. It is intended that subclasses replace the table name and add new fields.

<some base class name> {
    model     = <modelname>;
    frame     = <initial CFrame or equivalent; overriden if a controller is present>
    track     = <see Entity::Track>;
    canChange = <boolean>
}

The pose field is optional. The Entity base class reads this field. Other subclasses read their own fields.
The original caller (typically, a Scene subclass createEntity or Entity subclass create method) should invoke AnyTableReader::verifyDone to ensure that all of the fields specified were read by some subclass along the inheritance chain.
See VisibleEntity::init for an example of using this method. This method is separate from the constructor solely because it will throw an exception on a parse error, which is dangerous to do during a constructor because the destructor will not run.

scene May be nullptr so long as no entity() controller is used

◆ init() [4/4]

void G3D::Entity::init	(	const String &	name,
		Scene *	scene,
		const CFrame &	frame,
		const shared_ptr< Track > &	controller,
		bool	canChange,
		bool	shouldBeSaved

◆ intersect()

virtual bool G3D::VisibleEntity::intersect	(	const Ray &	R,
		float &	maxDistance,
		Model::HitInfo &	info = `Model::HitInfo::ignore`
	)		const

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from G3D::Entity.

◆ intersectBounds()

virtual bool G3D::VisibleEntity::intersectBounds	(	const Ray &	R,
		float &	maxDistance,
		Model::HitInfo &	info
	)		const

overridevirtual

Returns true if there is conservatively some intersection with the object's bounds closer than maxDistance to the ray origin.

If so, updates maxDistance with the intersection distance.

The bounds used may be more accurate than any of the given getLastBounds() results because the method may recurse into individual parts of the scene graph within the Entity.

Reimplemented from G3D::Entity.

◆ lastBoxBoundArray()

virtual const Array<Box>& G3D::Entity::lastBoxBoundArray ( ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Return a world-space bounding box array for all surfaces produced by this Entity as of the last call to onPose().

◆ lastBoxBoundArraysOverlap()

bool G3D::Entity::lastBoxBoundArraysOverlap ( const shared_ptr< Entity > & other ) const

inherited

Returns true if the world space bounds of these two entities overlap.

See also: lastBoxBoundArray

◆ lastChangeTime()

RealTime G3D::Entity::lastChangeTime ( ) const

inlineinherited

Wall-clock time at which this entity changed in some way, e.g., that might require recomputing a spatial data structure.

◆ makeGUI()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::makeGUI	(	class GuiPane *	pane,
		class GApp *	app
	)

overridevirtual

Create a user interface for controlling the properties of this Entity.

Called by SceneEditorWindow on selection.

Parameters

app	May be nullptr.

Reimplemented from G3D::Entity.

Reimplemented in G3D::Light.

◆ onModelDropDownAction()

void G3D::VisibleEntity::onModelDropDownAction ( )

protected

GUI callback.

◆ onPose()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::onPose ( Array< shared_ptr< Surface > > & surfaceArray )

overridevirtual

Invokes poseModel to compute the actual surfaces and then computes bounds on them when needed.

See also: Entity::onPose

Reimplemented from G3D::Entity.

Reimplemented in G3D::Light, and G3D::ParticleSystem.

◆ onSimulation()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::onSimulation	(	SimTime	absoluteTime,
		SimTime	deltaTime
	)

overridevirtual

Physical simulation callback.

The default implementation animates the model pose (by calling simulatePose()) and moves the frame() along m_frameSpline.

If setFrame() has been called since the last onSimulation call, then the previous frame is not updated to the current frame by onSimulation because it assumes some external logic is maintaining the Entity's position.

Parameters

deltaTime The change in time since the previous call to onSimulation. Two values are special: 0 means that simulation is paused and time should not advance. As much as possible, all state should remain unchanged. For example, anything computed by differentials such as velocity should remain at its current value (rather than becoming infinite!). In particular, this allows freeze-frame rendering of motion blur. The default implementation leaves m_previousFrame and the previous pose unchanged. A value of nan() means that the time has been changed discontinuously, for example, by Scene::setTime. In this case, all state should update to the new absolute time and differentials can be approximated as zero (or whatever other result is reasonable for this Entity).

See also: Scene::setOrder

Reimplemented from G3D::Entity.

Reimplemented in G3D::Light, and G3D::ParticleSystem.

◆ physicalSimulation()

bool G3D::Entity::physicalSimulation ( ) const

inlineinherited

◆ playSound()

virtual shared_ptr<SoundEntity> G3D::Entity::playSound	(	const shared_ptr< Sound > &	sound,
		const CFrame &	childFrame = `CFrame()`,
		bool	attach = `true`
	)

virtualinherited

Creates a new G3D::SoundEntity attached to this Entity at childFrame by an Entity::EntityTrack and returns it.

The new SoundEntity is automatically added to the Scene and will remain rigidly attached to the Entity.

You do not need to retain the pointer to the created sound for it to remain playing and in the scene. The SoundEntity will automatically remove itself from the Scene when it stops playing.

If attach == false, then the EntityTrack is not created and the sound will remain fixed in space.

◆ pose()

virtual const shared_ptr<Model::Pose>& G3D::VisibleEntity::pose ( ) const

inlinevirtual

◆ poseModel()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::poseModel ( Array< shared_ptr< Surface > > & surfaceArray ) const

protectedvirtual

Called from VisibleEntity::onPose to extract surfaces from the model.

If you subclass VisibleEntity to support a new model type, override this method. onPose will then still compute bounds correctly for your model.

Returns: True if the surfaces returned have different bounds than in the previous frame, e.g., due to animation.

◆ previousFrame()

const CoordinateFrame& G3D::Entity::previousFrame ( ) const

inlineinherited

◆ setCanCauseCollisions()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setCanCauseCollisions ( bool c )

inlinevirtualinherited

If true, causes collisions for other objects during physical simulation.

It may not react to those collisions if physicalSimulation is false. Default is true for VisibleEntity and false for other subclasses.

◆ setCastsShadows()

void G3D::VisibleEntity::setCastsShadows ( bool b )

inline

◆ setFrame()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setFrame	(	const CFrame &	f,
		bool	updatePreviousFrame = `true`
	)

virtualinherited

This sets the position of the Entity for the current simulation step.

If there is a controller set and the base class Entity::onSimulation is invoked, it will override the value assigned here.

◆ setFrameSpline()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setFrameSpline ( const PhysicsFrameSpline & spline )

virtualinherited

If there is a controller on this object and it is a SplineTrack, mutate it to store this value.

Otherwise, create a new SplineTrack to overwrite the current controller.

See also: setTrack

Used by SceneEditorWindow

◆ setMass()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setMass ( float m )

inlinevirtualinherited

Set to a negative number to tell the physics system to use the absolute value as a density and infer the mass from the mesh on load.

Default is -10 (kg/m^3).

◆ setModel()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::setModel ( const shared_ptr< Model > & model )

virtual

Not all VisibleEntity subclasses will accept all models.

If this model is not appropriate for this subclass, then the model() will not change.

◆ setPhysicalSimulation()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setPhysicalSimulation ( bool s )

inlinevirtualinherited

If true, this object should receive physical simulation for its motion.

If true, canMove must also be true and there must be no Track on this Entity.

◆ setPose()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::setPose ( const shared_ptr< Model::Pose > & pose )

virtual

◆ setPreviousFrame()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setPreviousFrame ( const CFrame & f )

inlinevirtualinherited

Explicitly override the previous frame value used for computing motion vectors.

This is very rarely needed because simulation automatically updates this value.

◆ setShouldBeSaved()

void G3D::Entity::setShouldBeSaved ( bool b )

inlineinherited

◆ setTrack()

virtual void G3D::Entity::setTrack ( const shared_ptr< Track > & c )

inlinevirtualinherited

See also: Entity::Track

◆ setVisible()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::setVisible ( bool b )

inlinevirtual

◆ shouldBeSaved()

bool G3D::Entity::shouldBeSaved ( ) const

inlineinherited

True if this Entity should be saved when the scene is converted to Any for saving/serialization.

Defaults to true. Set to false for transient objects. For example, a character's spawn point Entity might have shouldBeSaved() = true, while the character itself might have shouldBeSaved() = false. This would allow editing of the scene while the simulation loop is running without having the scene at the end of the editing session reflecting the result of the character moving about.

◆ simulatePose()

virtual void G3D::VisibleEntity::simulatePose	(	SimTime	absoluteTime,
		SimTime	deltaTime
	)

protectedvirtual

Animates the appropriate pose type for the model selected.

Called from onSimulation. Subclasses will frequently replace onSimulation but retain this helper method.

◆ toAny()

virtual Any G3D::VisibleEntity::toAny ( const bool forceAll = false ) const

overridevirtual

Converts the current VisibleEntity to an Any.

Subclasses should modify at least the name of the Table returned by the base class, which will be "Entity" if not changed.

Reimplemented from G3D::Entity.

Reimplemented in G3D::Light, and G3D::ParticleSystem.

◆ track()

virtual shared_ptr<Track> G3D::Entity::track ( ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

See also: Entity::Track

◆ visible()

bool G3D::VisibleEntity::visible ( ) const

inline

◆ visualize()

virtual void G3D::Entity::visualize	(	RenderDevice *	rd,
		bool	isSelected,
		const class SceneVisualizationSettings &	s,
		const shared_ptr< GFont > &	font,
		const shared_ptr< Camera > &	camera
	)

virtualinherited

Called by Scene::visualize every frame.

During this, Entitys may make rendering calls according to the SceneVisualizationSettings to display control points and other features.

Parameters

isSelected True if this entity is selected by a sceneEditorWindow, which may trigger additional visualization for it.

Reimplemented in G3D::MarkerEntity, and G3D::SoundEntity.

Frame before onSimulation().

Used for tracking poses and for velocity estimation.

◆ m_shouldBeSaved

bool G3D::Entity::m_shouldBeSaved

protectedinherited

True if this Entity should be saved when the scene is converted to Any for saving/serialization.

Defaults to true. Set to false for transient objects. For example, a character's spawn point Entity might have shouldBeSaved() = true, while the character itself might have shouldBeSaved() = false. This would allow editing of the scene while the simulation loop is running without having the scene at the end of the editing session reflecting the result of the character moving about.

◆ m_sourceAny

Any G3D::Entity::m_sourceAny

protectedinherited

The Any from which this was originally constructed.

◆ m_track

shared_ptr<Track> G3D::Entity::m_track

protectedinherited

Basic simulation behavior for the Entity.

If nullptr, the Entity is never moved by the base class' onSimulation method. You can subclass Track, but it is usually easier to subclass Entity and override onSimulation directly when creating behaviors more complex than those supported by the default Track language.

◆ m_visible

bool G3D::VisibleEntity::m_visible

protected

Should this Entity currently be allowed to affect any part of the rendering pipeline (e.g., shadows, primary rays, indirect light)? If false, the Entity never returns any surfaces from onPose().

Does not necessarily mean that the underlying model is visible to primary rays.
