Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFFloat set_destination SFFloat inputOnly The set_destination inputOnly field receives new destination values, resulting in the value_changed field sending output values in most cases.
SFFloat set_value SFFloat inputOnly With the set_value inputOnly field, one can immediately force the current value towards a certain value
SFFloat value_changed SFFloat outputOnly The value_changed outputOnly field outputs the current value of the internal state
SFFloat initialDestination SFFloat initializeOnly 0 initializes the internal destination state of the node
SFFloat initialValue SFFloat initializeOnly 0 initializes the internal value state of the node
SFTime duration SFTime initializeOnly 1 [0, Inf) defines the duration time for value chasing
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-eventOutut to the triggerSlot-eventInput Slot.
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.
SFBool isActive SFBool outputOnly FALSE isActive true/false events are sent when the sensor gets active
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.
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
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
