SphereSensor

SphereSensor converts pointing device motion into a spherical rotation about the origin of the local coordinate system. Hint: Sensors are affected by peer nodes and children of peers. Hint: add transparent geometry to see the effect of the sensor.

Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFRotation offset SFRotation inputOutput 0 1 0 0 Sends event and remembers last value sensed.
SFRotation rotation_changed SFRotation outputOnly rotation_changed events equal sum of relative bearing changes plus offset value.
SFBool autoOffset SFBool inputOutput TRUE Determines whether previous offset values are remembered/accumulated.
SFVec3f trackPoint_changed SFVec3f outputOnly trackPoint_changed events give intersection point of bearing with sensor's virtual geometry.
SFBool isOver SFBool outputOnly Is pointing device over sensor's geometry?
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
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
