Detailed Description

Class representing a node in the scene graph.

Remarks: A SceneNode is a type of Node which is used to organise objects in a scene. It has the same hierarchical transformation properties of the generic Node class, but also adds the ability to attach world objects to the node, and stores hierarchical bounding volumes of the nodes in the tree. Child nodes are contained within the bounds of the parent, and so on down the tree, allowing for fast culling.

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from Ogre::Node.

◆ attachObject()

virtual_l2 void Ogre::SceneNode::attachObject ( MovableObject * obj )

Adds an instance of a scene object to this node.

Remarks: Scene objects can include Entity objects, Camera objects, Light objects, ParticleSystem objects etc. Anything that subclasses from MovableObject.

◆ createChildSceneNode()

virtual SceneNode * Ogre::SceneNode::createChildSceneNode	(	SceneMemoryMgrTypes	sceneType = `SCENE_DYNAMIC`,
		const Vector3 &	translate = `Vector3::ZERO`,
		const Quaternion &	rotate = `Quaternion::IDENTITY`
	)

virtual

virtual

Detaches all objects attached to this node.

◆ detachObject()

virtual_l2 void Ogre::SceneNode::detachObject ( MovableObject * obj )

Detaches an object by pointer.

Remarks: It's fast, takes only O(1)

◆ flipVisibility()

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::flipVisibility ( bool cascade = true )

virtual

Inverts the visibility of all objects attached to this node.

Remarks: This is a shortcut to calling setVisible(!isVisible()) on the objects attached to this node, and optionally to all objects attached to child nodes.

Parameters

cascade If true, this setting cascades into child nodes too.

◆ getAttachedObject() [1/2]

MovableObject * Ogre::SceneNode::getAttachedObject ( const String & name )

Retrieves a pointer to an attached object.

Remarks: Retrieves by object name, see alternate version to retrieve by index. Retrieving by name forces a linear search O(N), prefer using the index, which is O(1)

◆ getAttachedObject() [2/2]

MovableObject * Ogre::SceneNode::getAttachedObject ( size_t index )

inline

Retrieves a pointer to an attached object.

Remarks: Retrieves by index, see alternate version to retrieve by name. The index of an object may change as other objects are added / removed.

◆ getAttachedObjectIterator() [1/2]

virtual ObjectIterator Ogre::SceneNode::getAttachedObjectIterator ( )

virtual

Retrieves an iterator which can be used to efficiently step through the objects attached to this node.

Remarks: This is a much faster way to go through all the objects attached to the node than using getAttachedObject. But the iterator returned is only valid until a change is made to the collection (ie an addition or removal) so treat the returned iterator as transient, and don't add / remove items as you go through the iterator, save changes until the end, or retrieve a new iterator after making the change. Making changes to the object returned through the iterator is OK though.

◆ getAttachedObjectIterator() [2/2]

virtual ConstObjectIterator Ogre::SceneNode::getAttachedObjectIterator ( ) const

virtual

Retrieves an iterator which can be used to efficiently step through the objects attached to this node.

Remarks: This is a much faster way to go through all the objects attached to the node than using getAttachedObject. But the iterator returned is only valid until a change is made to the collection (ie an addition or removal) so treat the returned iterator as transient, and don't add / remove items as you go through the iterator, save changes until the end, or retrieve a new iterator after making the change. Making changes to the object returned through the iterator is OK though.

◆ getAttachments()

const ObjectVec & Ogre::SceneNode::getAttachments ( )

◆ getDefaultNodeMemoryManager()

NodeMemoryManager * Ogre::SceneNode::getDefaultNodeMemoryManager ( SceneMemoryMgrTypes sceneType )

overridevirtual

As Node::getDebugRenderable, except scaling is automatically determined.

Implements Ogre::Node.

◆ getParentSceneNode()

SceneNode * Ogre::SceneNode::getParentSceneNode ( ) const

Gets the parent of this SceneNode.

◆ isYawFixed()

bool Ogre::SceneNode::isYawFixed ( ) const

	)

virtual

Points the local -Z direction of this node at a point in space.

Parameters

targetPoint	A vector specifying the look at point.
relativeTo	The space in which the point resides
localDirectionVector	The vector which normally describes the natural direction of the node, usually -Z

◆ numAttachedObjects()

size_t Ogre::SceneNode::numAttachedObjects ( ) const

inline

Reports the number of objects attached to this node.

◆ removeAndDestroyAllChildren()

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::removeAndDestroyAllChildren ( )

virtual

Removes and destroys all children of this node.

Remarks: Use this to destroy all child nodes of this node and remove them from the scene graph. Note that all objects attached to this node will be detached but will not be destroyed.

◆ removeAndDestroyChild()

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::removeAndDestroyChild ( SceneNode * sceneNode )

virtual

This method removes and destroys the child and all of its children.

Remarks: Unlike removeChild, which removes a single child from this node but does not destroy it, this method destroys the child and all of it's children.

: Use this if you wish to recursively destroy a node as well as detaching it from it's parent. Note that any objects attached to the nodes will be detached but will not themselves be destroyed.

Parameters

sceneNode SceneNode, must be a child of ours

◆ setAutoTracking()

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::setAutoTracking	(	bool	enabled,
		SceneNode *const	target = `0`,
		const Vector3 &	localDirectionVector = `Vector3::NEGATIVE_UNIT_Z`,
		const Vector3 &	offset = `Vector3::ZERO`
	)

virtual

Enables / disables automatic tracking of another SceneNode.

Remarks: If you enable auto-tracking, this SceneNode will automatically rotate to point it's -Z at the target SceneNode every frame, no matter how it or the other SceneNode move. Note that by default the -Z points at the origin of the target SceneNode, if you want to tweak this, provide a vector in the 'offset' parameter and the target point will be adjusted.

Parameters

enabled	If true, tracking will be enabled and the next parameter cannot be null. If false tracking will be disabled and the current orientation will be maintained.
target	Pointer to the SceneNode to track. Make sure you don't delete this SceneNode before turning off tracking (e.g. SceneManager::clearScene will delete it so be careful of this). Can be null if and only if the enabled param is false.
localDirectionVector	The local vector considered to be the usual 'direction' of the node; normally the local -Z but can be another direction.
offset	If supplied, this is the target point in local space of the target node instead of the origin of the target node. Good for fine tuning the look at point.

◆ setDirection() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::setDirection	(	const Vector3 &	vec,
		TransformSpace	relativeTo = `TS_LOCAL`,
		const Vector3 &	localDirectionVector = `Vector3::NEGATIVE_UNIT_Z`
	)

virtual

Sets the node's direction vector ie it's local -z.

Remarks: Note that the 'up' vector for the orientation will automatically be recalculated based on the current 'up' vector (i.e. the roll will remain the same). If you need more control, use setOrientation.

Parameters

vec	The direction vector
relativeTo	The space in which this direction vector is expressed
localDirectionVector	The vector which normally describes the natural direction of the node, usually -Z

◆ setDirection() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::setDirection	(	Real	x,
		Real	y,
		Real	z,
		TransformSpace	relativeTo = `TS_LOCAL`,
		const Vector3 &	localDirectionVector = `Vector3::NEGATIVE_UNIT_Z`
	)

virtual

Sets the node's direction vector ie it's local -z.

Remarks: Note that the 'up' vector for the orientation will automatically be recalculated based on the current 'up' vector (i.e. the roll will remain the same). If you need more control, use setOrientation.

Parameters

x,y,z	The components of the direction vector
relativeTo	The space in which this direction vector is expressed
localDirectionVector	The vector which normally describes the natural direction of the node, usually -Z

◆ setFixedYawAxis()

void Ogre::SceneNode::setFixedYawAxis	(	bool	useFixed,
		const Vector3 &	fixedAxis = `Vector3::UNIT_Y`
	)

Tells the node whether to yaw around it's own local Y axis or a fixed axis of choice.

Remarks: This method allows you to change the yaw behaviour of the node - by default, it yaws around it's own local Y axis when told to yaw with TS_LOCAL, this makes it yaw around a fixed axis. You only really need this when you're using auto tracking (see setAutoTracking, because when you're manually rotating a node you can specify the TransformSpace in which you wish to work anyway.

Parameters

useFixed	If true, the axis passed in the second parameter will always be the yaw axis no matter what the node orientation. If false, the node returns to it's default behaviour.
fixedAxis	The axis to use if the first parameter is true.

◆ setListener()

void Ogre::SceneNode::setListener ( Listener * listener )

overridevirtual

Sets a listener for this Node.

Remarks: Note for size and performance reasons only one listener per node is allowed.

Reimplemented from Ogre::Node.

◆ setStatic()

bool Ogre::SceneNode::setStatic ( bool bStatic )

overridevirtual

Turns this Node into static or dynamic.

Remarks: Switching between dynamic and static has some overhead and forces to update all static scene when converted to static. So don't do it frequently. Static objects are not updated every frame, only when requested explicitly. Use this feature if you plan to have this object unaltered for a very long times

: Changing this attribute to a node will cause to switch the attribute to all attached entities (but not children or parent nodes; it's perfectly valid and useful to have dynamic children of a static parent; although the opposite (static children, dynamic parent) is probably a bug.

Returns: True if setStatic made an actual change. False otherwise. Can fail because the object was already static/dynamic, or because switching is not supported

Reimplemented from Ogre::Node.

◆ setVisible()

virtual void Ogre::SceneNode::setVisible	(	bool	visible,
		bool	cascade = `true`
	)

virtual

Makes all objects attached to this node become visible / invisible.

Remarks: This is a shortcut to calling setVisible() on the objects attached to this node, and optionally to all objects attached to child nodes.

Parameters

visible	Whether the objects are to be made visible or invisible
cascade	If true, this setting cascades into child nodes too.

◆ yaw()

void Ogre::SceneNode::yaw	(	const Radian &	angle,
		TransformSpace	relativeTo = `TS_LOCAL`
	)

Rotate the node around the Y-axis.
