GlobalTransformSensor
This sensor can be used to monitor the global-transformation of any node in the SceneGraph. It sends transformation_changed events if the global transformation of the parent changes. Since the system is a multiparent graph a node can have more than one global transformation and therefor the transformation_changed outslot has to be a MFMatrix. Hint: To get the components of transformation use a MatrixDecomposer node.

 |
transformation_changed | MFMatrix4f | outputOnly | outslot which send all global transformation of the parent while changing | ||
 |
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. | |
|
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 | ||
 |
enabled | SFBool | inputOutput | TRUE | Enables/disables the sensor node. | |
|
isActive | SFBool | outputOnly | FALSE | isActive true/false events are sent when the sensor gets active | |
 |
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. | ||
 |
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 | |

metadata | SFNode | inputOutput | MetadataObject | container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element |
