SceneObject

Description

A single joint, or knot, along a path. Should be stored inside a Path container object. A path markers can be one of three primary movement types: “normal”, “Position Only”, or “Kink”.

Example:

new path()
   {
     isLooping = "1";

     newMarker()
      {
         seqNum = "0";
         type = "Normal";
         msToNext = "1000";
         smoothingType = "Spline";
         position = "-0.054708 -35.0612 234.802";
         rotation = "1 0 0 0";
      };

   };

Fields

int Marker::msToNext

Milliseconds to next marker in sequence.

int Marker::seqNum

Marker position in sequence of markers on this path.

MarkerSmoothingType Marker::smoothingType

Path smoothing at this marker/knot. “Linear” means no smoothing, while “Spline” means to smooth.

MarkerKnotType Marker::type

Type of this marker/knot. A “normal” knot will have a smooth camera translation/rotation effect. “Position Only” will do the same for translations, leaving rotation un-touched. Lastly, a “Kink” means the rotation will take effect immediately for an abrupt rotation change.
