Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFBool autoOffset SFBool inputOutput TRUE Determines whether previous offset values are remembered/accumulated.
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
SFBool enabled SFBool inputOutput TRUE Enables/disables the sensor node.
MFVec3f hitNormalizedCoords_changed MFVec3f outputOnly the texCoords of all user bodies
SFNode hitObject_changed SFNode outputOnly The next non-shared hit node's parent of type BoundedNode.
SFBool isActive SFBool outputOnly FALSE isActive true/false events are sent when the sensor gets active
SFBool isOver SFBool outputOnly Is pointing device over sensor's geometry?
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
SFVec3f maxScale SFVec3f inputOutput 10 10 10 Maximum value for scaling (ignored if smaller than or equal to 0 or smaller minScale).
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
SFVec3f minScale SFVec3f inputOutput 0.1 0.1 0.1 Minimum value for scaling (ignored if smaller than or equal to 0).
SFRotation rotationOffset SFRotation inputOutput 0 0 1 0 Sends event and remembers last rotation value sensed.
SFRotation rotation_changed SFRotation outputOnly rotation_changed events equal sum of relative bearing changes plus offset value.
SFVec3f scaleOffset SFVec3f inputOutput 1 1 1 Sends event and remembers last scale value sensed.
SFVec3f scale_changed SFVec3f outputOnly scale_changed events equal sum of relative scale change plus offset value.
MFVec3f touchPoints_changed MFVec3f outputOnly Events containing all 3D points on surface of underlying geometry, given in Sensor's local coordinate system.
SFVec3f trackPoint_changed SFVec3f outputOnly trackPoint_changed events give intersection point of bearing with sensor's virtual geometry.
SFString transformRestriction SFString inputOutput auto [auto, none, all, scale, rotate, translate, scaleRotate, scaleTranslate, rotateTranslate] Set restrictions for transformation types.
SFVec3f translationOffset SFVec3f inputOutput 0 0 0 Sends event and remembers last translation value sensed.
SFVec3f translation_changed SFVec3f outputOnly translation_changed events equal sum of relative translation change plus offset value.
SFString triggerName SFString initializeOnly Timer 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-eventOutput 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.
