Game world element.
Member Function Documentation
◆ addToGameWorld()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.addToGameWorld | ( | ) |
Adds the element content to the game world if required.
Reimplemented in Dragengine.Scenery.BaseActor.
◆ debugInformation()
| Dictionary Dragengine.Scenery.Element.debugInformation | ( | ) |
Debug information as Dictionary.
◆ dispose()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.dispose | ( | ) |
Dispose of element.
Breaks reference loops and cleans up.
Reimplemented in Dragengine.Scenery.SimpleElementOnRail.
◆ enterFrame()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.enterFrame | ( | ) |
Frame update started.
To receive this event call GameWorld.addEnterFrameOnce() from inside addToGameWorld(). This event is called at the beginning of the next frame update before think() of any element is called.
Use this method as a one-time call to carry out tasks required to be done once before any elements start thinking. Typically this is done after adding a new element to a game world to finish connections to other elements in the game world which can not be established before all required elements are added too.
- Warning
- Do not call GameWorld.addEnterFrameOnce() or GameWorld.removeEnterFrameOnce() from inside enterFrame(). Do this from addToGameWorld(), removeFromGameWorld(), think() or postThink().

Element has been disposed of.
◆ isMyselfOrChildOf()

Called after the physics system has carried out collision detection and physics simulations. The element has to update its states like position or rotation from its registered physics objects like Colliders or Components. Complex animated elements also update here the skeletal animations.
- Parameters
-
elapsed Time elapsed since last frame update in seconds
◆ readElementFromFileWithStub()
|
static |
Load element from file reader with stub supporting null element.
Reads element class name from reader. If element class name is empty null element is returned. Otherwise stub and element is read from file reader. Uses ElementClass.loadElement() if supported.
◆ readFromFile()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.readFromFile | ( | PersistencyEnvironment | env, |
| FileReader | reader | ||
| ) |
Read element from file reader.
The default implementation reads a single byte expecting value 0 indicating version 0. This allows subclasses to add persistency support by overwriting this method without super calling it.
Reimplemented in Dragengine.Scenery.BaseActor.
◆ removeFromGameWorld()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.removeFromGameWorld | ( | ) |
Removes the element content from the game world if placed there before.
◆ removeFromGameWorldIfPresent()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.removeFromGameWorldIfPresent | ( | ) |
Remove element from game world if present.
◆ safeDispose()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.safeDispose | ( | ) |
Remove element from game world if present and dispose of element.
This is the prefered way to dispose of an element no matter if it is part of a game world or not. Do not use dispose() directly otherwise clean up logic done by removeFromGameWorld() is skipped.
◆ setGameWorld()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setGameWorld | ( | GameWorld | gameWorld | ) |
Sets the game world or null if not attached.
◆ setGeometry() [1/2]
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setGeometry | ( | DVector | position, |
| Quaternion | orientation | ||
| ) |
Set position and orientation.
◆ setGeometry() [2/2]
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setGeometry | ( | DVector | position, |
| Quaternion | orientation, | ||
| Vector | scaling | ||
| ) |
Set position, orientation and scaling of element.
◆ setID()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setID | ( | UniqueID | id | ) |
Sets the unique id or null to unset it.
◆ setOrientation()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setOrientation | ( | Quaternion | orientation | ) |
Set orientation.
◆ setParent()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setParent | ( | Element | parent | ) |
Sets the parent or null if not attached.
◆ setPosition()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setPosition | ( | DVector | position | ) |
Set position.
◆ setScaling()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setScaling | ( | Vector | scaling | ) |
Set scaling.
◆ setStub()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setStub | ( | StubElement | stub | ) |
Set element stub used to create the element.
◆ setTouchable()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setTouchable | ( | bool | touchable | ) |
Sets if the element is touchable.
◆ setVisible()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.setVisible | ( | bool | visible | ) |
Sets if the element is visible.
◆ think()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.think | ( | float | elapsed | ) |
Thinks about what the element is going to do in this frame. This is the place to use AI functions to determine the next motions beeing it displacement, rotation or other shape changes. The game world will use this information to carry out changes to the elements. An element does not change its state by itself rather waits for the game world to apply the required changes. Execute here als updates to dynamic skins that are independant, hence not requiring the game world to be uptodate for rendering.
- Parameters
-
elapsed Time elapsed since last frame update in seconds
◆ toString()
| String Dragengine.Scenery.Element.toString | ( | ) |
Return string representation of this Element.
◆ visit()

◆ writeElementToFileWithStub()
|
static |
Write element to file writer with stub supporting null element.
Writes element class name, then the stub parameters and then the element parameters. If no stub exists an empty one is used for writing stub parameters. If element is null empty element class name is written. Empty element class name is used during loading to indicate a null element.
◆ writeToFile()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.writeToFile | ( | PersistencyEnvironment | env, |
| FileWriter | writer | ||
| ) |
Write element to file writer.
The default implementation writes a single byte of value 0 indicating version 0. This allows subclasses to add persistency support by overwriting this method without super calling it.
Reimplemented in Dragengine.Scenery.BaseActor.
◆ writeToFileWithStub()
| void Dragengine.Scenery.Element.writeToFileWithStub | ( | PersistencyEnvironment | env, |
| FileWriter | writer | ||
| ) |
Write element to file writer with stub.
Writes element class name, then the stub parameters and then the element parameters. If no stub exists an empty one is used for writing stub parameters.
