@:directlyUsed

Available on all platforms

The Entity class provides an abstract base class for all scene graph objects that are considered having a "presence" in the scene, in the sense that it can be considered an actual object with a position and a size (even if infinite or idealised), rather than a grouping. Entities can be partitioned in a space partitioning system and in turn collected by an EntityCollector.

Inherited Methods

Defined by ObjectContainer3D

addChild(child:ObjectContainer3D):ObjectContainer3D

Adds a child ObjectContainer3D to the current object. The child's transformation will become relative to the current object's transformation.

Parameters:

child

The object to be added as a child.

Returns:

A reference to the added child object.

addChildren(childarray:Vector<ObjectContainer3D>):Void

Adds an array of 3d objects to the scene as children of the container

Parameters:

...childarray

An array of 3d objects to be added

clone():Object3D

Clones this ObjectContainer3D instance along with all it's children, and returns the result (which will be a copy of this container, containing copies of all it's children.)

contains(child:ObjectContainer3D):Bool

dispatchEvent(event:Event):Bool

@inheritDoc

dispose():Void

@inheritDoc

disposeWithChildren():Void

Disposes the current ObjectContainer3D including all of its children. This is a merely a convenience method.

getChildAt(index:Int):ObjectContainer3D

Retrieves the child object at the given index.

Parameters:

index

The index of the object to be retrieved.

Returns:

The child object at the given index.

@:value({ upAxis : null })lookAt(target:Vector3D, ?upAxis:Vector3D):Void

@inheritDoc

removeChild(child:ObjectContainer3D):Void

Removes a 3d object from the child array of the container

Parameters:

child

The 3d object to be removed

Throws:

Error

ObjectContainer3D.removeChild(null)

removeChildAt(index:Int):Void

Removes a 3d object from the child array of the container

Parameters:

index

Index of 3d object to be removed

updateImplicitVisibility():Void

Defined by Object3D

disposeAsset():Void

@inheritDoc

@:value({ v : null })getPosition(?v:Vector3D):Vector3D

Defines the position of the 3d object, relative to the local coordinates of the parent ObjectContainer3D. @return

Parameters:

v

the destination Vector3D

moveBackward(distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object backwards along it's local z axis

Parameters:

distance

The length of the movement

moveDown(distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object backwards along it's local y axis

Parameters:

distance

The length of the movement

moveForward(distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object forwards along it's local z axis

Parameters:

distance

The length of the movement

moveLeft(distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object backwards along it's local x axis

Parameters:

distance

The length of the movement

movePivot(dx:Float, dy:Float, dz:Float):Void

Moves the local point around which the object rotates.

Parameters:

dx

The amount of movement along the local x axis.

dy

The amount of movement along the local y axis.

dz

The amount of movement along the local z axis.

moveRight(distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object forwards along it's local x axis

Parameters:

distance

The length of the movement

moveTo(dx:Float, dy:Float, dz:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object directly to a point in space

Parameters:

dx

The amount of movement along the local x axis.

dy

The amount of movement along the local y axis.

dz

The amount of movement along the local z axis.

moveUp(distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object forwards along it's local y axis

Parameters:

distance

The length of the movement

pitch(angle:Float):Void

Rotates the 3d object around it's local x-axis

Parameters:

angle

The amount of rotation in degrees

roll(angle:Float):Void

Rotates the 3d object around it's local z-axis

Parameters:

angle

rotateTo(ax:Float, ay:Float, az:Float):Void

Rotates the 3d object directly to a euler angle

Parameters:

ax

The angle in degrees of the rotation around the x axis.

ay

The angle in degrees of the rotation around the y axis.

az

The angle in degrees of the rotation around the z axis.

scale(value:Float):Void

Appends a uniform scale to the current transformation.

Parameters:

value

The amount by which to scale.

translate(axis:Vector3D, distance:Float):Void

Moves the 3d object along a vector by a defined length

Parameters:

axis

The vector defining the axis of movement
