Firefly Movement Object


The Firefly Movement object lets you do complicated movements within the 3D scene easily.

 

You can use this object to assign Node objects Path and/or Directional Movements.

 

  • Waypoints -

  • Move a Node to - Select a Node via Fixed value and move it to a position using X, Y & Z inputs

  • Move a Node with waypoints - Same as move a node to , accept you can add additional waypoints in front of the final end point. Using the following format in the expression editor, X,Y,Z|X,Y,Z|etc

  • Move a Node in a Direction - Moving a node by setting Pitch, Yaw and Roll and speed

  • Move a Node in the Direction of a Point - Move a node in a direction determining the Pitch, Yaw and Roll based on a position (X,Y & Z)

  • Set a Node Movements Speed - Takes a node via Fixed value that is moving and allows you to change the speed.

  • Pause a Node’s Movement -  Pausing a active movement on a node.

  • Resume a Node’s Movement - Return a node to a moving state after being paused.

  • Stop a Node’s Movement - Stops a node moving and cancels a previously assigned movement

  • FPS Camera

    • Move a FPS Camera -

    • Move a FPS Camera With Gravity -

    • Set Mouse X Position - Moves the mouse cursor to given X screen coordinate

    • Set Mouse Y Position - Moves the mouse cursor to given Y screen coordinate

  • On Collision > Handle a Node’s Collision - This action will set a node’s position and then will cause a check of collisions that may have happened. This action should really be used to set (handle) a node’s position after a collision has occurred and use the node’s coordinates of where it collided as parameters. This action will also handle a Camera’s collision (should the node be a Camera), and set its Target to what it should be.

 

Conditions

  • A Node has Movement - Comparing via Fixed value will trigger true if said node has a movement assigned to it.

  • A Node’s Movement is Paused - Returns true if a specific node’s movement has been set to paused.

  • Path Movement > A Node’s movement is complete - Returns true if a node set to a path movement has reached it’s final waypoint

  • A FPS Camera is falling due to gravity - If the FPS camera is set to gravity and is in a falling state this will trigger

 

Expressions

  • Get Speed of a Node’s Movement - Returns the speed of a node that is moving

  • Path Movement > Get Progress of a Node’s Movement - Returns the progress of a node set to path movement.

  • Calculations

    • Get Distance between two points - By feeding the expression two sets of X,Y, Z values you can return the distance value between them

    • Get 3D X Angle between two Points -

    • Get 3D Y Angle between two Points -

    • Get 3D Z Angle between two Points -

  • FPS Camera Settings

    • Get X Position of FPS Camera - Returns X value from the position of the FPS Camera

    • Get Y Position of FPS Camera - Returns Y value from the position of the FPS Camera

    • Get Z Position of FPS Camera - Returns Z value from the position of the FPS Camera

    • Get X Target of FPS Camera - Returns the X value of the point that the FPS Camera is looking at

    • Get Y Target of FPS Camera - Returns the Y value of the point that the FPS Camera is looking at

    • Get Z Target of FPS Camera - Returns the Z value of the point that the FPS Camera is looking at

    • Get X Falling Velocity of FPS Camera -

    • Get Y Falling Velocity of FPS Camera -

    • Get Z Falling Velocity of FPS Camera -

    • Get Mouse X Position - Returns the current mouse cursor position, in screen coordinate

    • Get Mouse Y Position - Returns the current mouse cursor position, in screen coordinate

    • Get Last Mouse X Movement - Returns the last frame’s mouse position

    • Get Last Mouse Y Movement - Returns the last frame’s mouse position
