SnapLocator

SnapLocator is the base class for SnapIn and SnapSensor. It defines the location and visualization of those sensors.

id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
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
SFBool enabled SFBool inputOutput TRUE Enables/disables the sensor node.
SFBool highlightActivated SFBool outputOnly Indicates if highlight is activated or not.
SFBool isActive SFBool outputOnly FALSE isActive true/false events are sent when the sensor gets active
SFFloat visibleSize SFFloat initializeOnly 1.0 (-inf, inf) the scalation for the indicator nodes
SFMatrix4f locationOffset SFMatrix4f initializeOnly identity offset of the SnapSomething relative to its parent node
SFNode highlightNode SFNode initializeOnly Node If two SnapSomethings are matched as compatible AND are close enough to "snap", the highlightNode is shown. Default is a red sphere.
SFNode indicatorNode SFNode initializeOnly Node If two SnapSomethings are matched as compatible the indicatorNode is shown. Default is a green sphere.
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
SFNode standbyNode SFNode initializeOnly Node the standbyNode is selected when neither of indicator/highlight is shown. It defaults to nothing, so that it is invisible.
SFRotation locationRotation SFRotation initializeOnly 0 0 0 1 rotation of the SnapSomething relative to its parent node
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
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.
SFVec3f locationTranslation SFVec3f initializeOnly 0 0 0 translation of the SnapSomething relative to its parent node
