The EntityNode class provides an abstract base class for leaf nodes in a partition tree, containing entities to be fed to the EntityCollector traverser. The concrete subtype of Entity is responsible for creating a matching subtype of EntityNode.

Property Detail

entity:Entity  [read-only]

The entity contained in this leaf node.


Implementation
    public function get entity():Entity
Constructor Detail
EntityNode()Constructor
public function EntityNode(entity:Entity)

Creates a new EntityNode object.

Parameters
entity:Entity — The Entity to be contained in this leaf node.
Method Detail
acceptTraverser()method
override public function acceptTraverser(traverser:PartitionTraverser):void

Allows the traverser to visit the current node. If the traverser's enterNode method returns true, the traverser will be sent down the child nodes of the tree. This method should be overridden if the order of traversal is important (such as for BSP trees) - or if static child nodes are not added using addNode, but are linked to separately.

Parameters

traverser:PartitionTraverser — The traverser visiting the node.

isInFrustum()method 
override public function isInFrustum(camera:Camera3D):Boolean

Tests if the current node is at least partly inside the frustum.

Parameters

camera:Camera3D — The raw data of the view projection matrix

Returns
Boolean — Whether or not the node is at least partly inside the view frustum.
removeFromParent()method 
public function removeFromParent():void

Detaches the node from its parent.
