GlobalBboxSensor

This sensor can be used to monitor the global-bounding-boxes of any node in the SceneGraph. It sends bbox_changed events if the global bboxs of the noded changed. Every bbox is defined by a center/size pair. Since the system is a multiparent graph a node can have more than one global bbox and therefor the bbox_changed outslot can send more than one center/size pair.

MFString logFeature MFString inputOutput state, child, parent, route, eventIn, eventOut controls the logging of changes, state: log state changes (e.g. live), child: log child add/remove, parent: log parent add/remove, route: log route add/remove; eventIn: log receiving of events, eventOut: log sending of events: guiView, runtime system should create node-view, guiEdit: runtime system should create node-editeverything: log everything
MFVec3f bbox_changed MFVec3f outputOnly outslot which send all global bbox pairs (center/size) of the node while changing
SFBool enabled SFBool inputOutput TRUE Enables/disables the sensor node.
SFBool isActive SFBool outputOnly FALSE isActive true/false events are sent when the sensor gets active
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
SFString description SFString inputOutput Text description to comment the sensor task. Can be used in run-time systems to give usefull feedback to the user and developer
SFString triggerName SFString initializeOnly Synchronize name of the dynamic context-slot which is used by the run-time environment (e.g. Jobs) to trigger the node. Life-Nodes will automatically connect the context-eventOutut to the triggerSlot-eventInput Slot.
SFTime triggerSlot SFTime inputOnly slot which is used internally to connect a dynamic context-slot which name is set by the triggerName value. Its used automatically to install run-time environment trigger.
