Constructor Detail

ViewVolume

()

Constructor

public function ViewVolume(minBound:Vector3D, maxBound:Vector3D, cellSize:Number = -1)

Creates a new ViewVolume with given dimensions. A ViewVolume is a region where the camera or a shadow casting light could reside in.

Parameters

	`minBound:Vector3D` — The minimum boundaries of the view volume (the bottom-left-near corner)

	`maxBound:Vector3D` — The maximum boundaries of the view volume (the top-right-far corner)

	`cellSize:Number` (default = `-1`) — The size of cell subdivisions for the view volume. The default value is -1, meaning the view volume will not be subdivided. This is the value that should usually be used when setting visibility info manually.

Method Detail

acceptTraverser

()

method

override public function acceptTraverser(traverser:PartitionTraverser):void

Parameters

traverser:PartitionTraverser

addVisibleDynamicCell

()

method

public function addVisibleDynamicCell(cell:InvertedOctreeNode, indexX:uint = 0, indexY:uint = 0, indexZ:uint = 0):void

Parameters

	`cell:InvertedOctreeNode`

	`indexX:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexY:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexZ:uint` (default = `0`)

addVisibleRegion

()

method

 public function addVisibleRegion(minBounds:Vector3D, maxBounds:Vector3D, scene:Scene3D, dynamicGrid:DynamicGrid = null, indexX:uint = 0, indexY:uint = 0, indexZ:uint = 0):void

Adds all static geometry in a scene that intersects a given region, as well as the dynamic grid if provided.

Parameters

	`minBounds:Vector3D` — The minimum bounds of the region to be considered visible

	`maxBounds:Vector3D` — The maximum bounds of the region to be considered visible

	`scene:Scene3D` — The Scene3D object containing the static objects to be added.

	`dynamicGrid:DynamicGrid` (default = `null`) — The DynamicGrid belonging to the partition this will be used with

	`indexX:uint` (default = `0`) — An optional index for the cell within ViewVolume. If created with gridSize -1, this is typically avoided.

	`indexY:uint` (default = `0`) — An optional index for the cell within ViewVolume. If created with gridSize -1, this is typically avoided.

	`indexZ:uint` (default = `0`) — An optional index for the cell within ViewVolume. If created with gridSize -1, this is typically avoided.

addVisibleStatic

()

method

public function addVisibleStatic(entity:Entity, indexX:uint = 0, indexY:uint = 0, indexZ:uint = 0):void

Parameters

	`entity:Entity`

	`indexX:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexY:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexZ:uint` (default = `0`)

addVisibleViewVolume

()

method

public function addVisibleViewVolume(viewVolume:ViewVolume, scene:Scene3D, dynamicGrid:DynamicGrid = null):void

A shortcut method for addVisibleRegion, that adds static geometry in a scene that intersects a given viewvolume, as well as the dynamic grid if provided.

Parameters

	`viewVolume:ViewVolume` — The viewVolume providing the region

	`scene:Scene3D` — The Scene3D object containing the static objects to be added.

	`dynamicGrid:DynamicGrid` (default = `null`) — The DynamicGrid belonging to the partition this will be used with

contains

()

method

public function contains(entryPoint:Vector3D):Boolean

Parameters

entryPoint:Vector3D

Returns

Boolean

createDebugBounds

()

method

override protected function createDebugBounds():WireframePrimitiveBase

Returns

WireframePrimitiveBase

markCellAccessible

()

method

public function markCellAccessible(indexX:uint, indexY:uint, indexZ:uint):void

Enable the use of a cell. Do this if the camera or casting light can potentially be in this cell. If the ViewVolume was constructed with gridSize -1, it does not need to be called

Parameters

	`indexX:uint` — The x-index of the cell

	`indexY:uint` — The y-index of the cell

	`indexZ:uint` — The z-index of the cell

markCellInaccessible

()

method

public function markCellInaccessible(indexX:uint, indexY:uint, indexZ:uint):void

Disables the use of a cell. Do this only if the camera or casting light can never be in this cell.

Parameters

	`indexX:uint` — The x-index of the cell

	`indexY:uint` — The y-index of the cell

	`indexZ:uint` — The z-index of the cell

removeVisibleDynamicCell

()

method

 public function removeVisibleDynamicCell(cell:InvertedOctreeNode, indexX:uint = 0, indexY:uint = 0, indexZ:uint = 0):void

Parameters

	`cell:InvertedOctreeNode`

	`indexX:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexY:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexZ:uint` (default = `0`)

removeVisibleStatic

()

method

public function removeVisibleStatic(entity:Entity, indexX:uint = 0, indexY:uint = 0, indexZ:uint = 0):void

Parameters

	`entity:Entity`

	`indexX:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexY:uint` (default = `0`)

	`indexZ:uint` (default = `0`)
