River

A water volume defined by a 3D spline.

Inherit:

WaterObject

Description

A water volume defined by a 3D spline.

User may control width and depth per node and overall spline shape in three dimensions.

River supports dynamic planar reflections (fullReflect) like all WaterObject classes, but keep in mind it is not necessarily a planar surface. For best visual quality a River should be less reflective the more it twists and bends. This caution only applies to Rivers with fullReflect on.

Methods

void River::regenerate()

Intended as a helper to developers and editor scripts. Force River to recreate its geometry.

void River::setBatchSize(float meters)

Intended as a helper to developers and editor scripts. BatchSize is not currently used.

void River::setMaxDivisionSize(float meters)

Intended as a helper to developers and editor scripts.

void River::setMetersPerSegment(float meters)

Intended as a helper to developers and editor scripts.

void River::setNodeDepth(int idx, float meters)

Intended as a helper to developers and editor scripts. Sets the depth in meters of a particular node.

Fields

bool River::EditorOpen[static]

For editor use.

float River::FlowMagnitude

Magnitude of the force vector applied to dynamic objects within the River .

float River::LowLODDistance

Segments of the river at this distance in meters or greater will render as a single unsubdivided without undulation effects.

string River::Node

For internal use, do not modify.

float River::SegmentLength

Divide the River lengthwise into segments of this length in meters. These geometric volumes are used for spacial queries like determining containment.

bool River::showNodes[static]

For editor use.

bool River::showRiver[static]

For editor use.

bool River::showSpline[static]

For editor use.

bool River::showWalls[static]

For editor use.

bool River::showWireframe[static]

For editor use.

float River::SubdivideLength

For purposes of generating the renderable geometry River segments are further subdivided such that no quad is of greater width or length than this distance in meters.
