Firefly/ff movement

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
