public class GhostControl extends PhysicsGhostObject implements PhysicsControl
A PhysicsControl to link a PhysicsGhostObject to a Spatial.

The ghost object follows the Spatial it is attached to and can be used to detect overlaps with other physics objects (e.g. aggro radius).

  • Field Details

    • logger3

      public static final Logger logger3
      message logger for this class

  • Constructor Details

    • GhostControl

      protected GhostControl()
      No-argument constructor needed by SavableClassUtil.

    • GhostControl

      public GhostControl(CollisionShape shape)
      Instantiate an enabled Control with the specified CollisionShape.
      Parameters:
      shape - the desired shape (not null, alias created)

  • Method Details

    • getSpatial

      public com.jme3.scene.Spatial getSpatial()
      Access the controlled Spatial.
      Returns:
      the Spatial, or null if none

    • isApplyPhysicsLocal

      public boolean isApplyPhysicsLocal()
      Test whether physics-space coordinates should match the spatial's local coordinates.
      Returns:
      true if matching local coordinates, false if matching world coordinates

    • isApplyScale

      public boolean isApplyScale()
      Test whether the collision-shape scale should match the spatial's scale.
      Returns:
      true if matching scales, otherwise false

    • setApplyPhysicsLocal

      public void setApplyPhysicsLocal(boolean applyPhysicsLocal)
      Alter whether physics-space coordinates should match the spatial's local coordinates.
      Parameters:
      applyPhysicsLocal - true→match local coordinates, false→match world coordinates (default=false)

    • setApplyScale

      public void setApplyScale(boolean setting)
      Alter whether the collision-shape scale should match the spatial's scale. CAUTION: Not all shapes can be scaled arbitrarily.

      Note that if the shape is shared (between collision objects and/or compound shapes) scaling can have unintended consequences.

      Parameters:
      setting - true → enable shape scaling (to the extent the CollisionShape supports it), false → disable shape scaling (default=false)

    • cloneForSpatial

      public com.jme3.scene.control.Control cloneForSpatial(com.jme3.scene.Spatial spatial)
      Clone this Control for a different Spatial. No longer used as of JME 3.1.
      Specified by:
      cloneForSpatial in interface com.jme3.scene.control.Control
      Parameters:
      spatial - (unused)
      Returns:
      never
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - always

    • getPhysicsSpace

      public PhysicsSpace getPhysicsSpace()
      Access the PhysicsSpace to which the ghost object is (or would be) added.
      Specified by:
      getPhysicsSpace in interface PhysicsControl
      Returns:
      the pre-existing space, or null for none

    • isEnabled

      public boolean isEnabled()
      Test whether this Control is enabled.
      Specified by:
      isEnabled in interface PhysicsControl
      Returns:
      true if enabled, otherwise false

    • render

      public void render(com.jme3.renderer.RenderManager rm, com.jme3.renderer.ViewPort vp)
      Render this Control. Invoked once per ViewPort per frame, provided the Control is added to a scene. Should be invoked only by a subclass or by the RenderManager.
      Specified by:
      render in interface com.jme3.scene.control.Control
      Parameters:
      rm - the RenderManager (unused)
      vp - the ViewPort to render (unused)

    • setEnabled

      public void setEnabled(boolean enabled)
      Enable or disable this Control.

      When the Control is disabled, the ghost object is removed from physics space. When the Control is enabled again, the object is moved to the current location of the Spatial and then added to the PhysicsSpace.

      Specified by:
      setEnabled in interface PhysicsControl
      Parameters:
      enabled - true→enable the Control, false→disable it

    • setPhysicsSpace

      public void setPhysicsSpace(PhysicsSpace newSpace)
      If enabled, add this control's physics object to the specified PhysicsSpace. If not enabled, alter where the object would be added. The object is removed from any other space it's currently in.
      Specified by:
      setPhysicsSpace in interface PhysicsControl
      Parameters:
      newSpace - where to add, or null to simply remove

    • setSpatial

      public void setSpatial(com.jme3.scene.Spatial controlledSpatial)
      Alter which Spatial is controlled. Invoked when the Control is added to or removed from a Spatial. Should be invoked only by a subclass or from Spatial. Do not invoke directly from user code.
      Specified by:
      setSpatial in interface com.jme3.scene.control.Control
      Parameters:
      controlledSpatial - the Spatial to control (or null)

    • update

      public void update(float tpf)
      Update this Control. Invoked once per frame, during the logical-state update, provided the Control is added to a scene. Do not invoke directly from user code.
      Specified by:
      update in interface com.jme3.scene.control.Control
      Parameters:
      tpf - the time interval between frames (in seconds, ≥0)
