LuaScriptNodeΒΆ

class LuaScriptNode

This node is used to embed Lua event handlers in a scene

The Lua Script contained in the node is executed when the specified Event is triggered by Guerilla. This allows implementing scene specific behaviors. See also the event package to register global event handlers in scripts and plugins.

Members

Plugs:

string Event R The event this node handles
string Script R The Lua script event handler to execute

Inherited from class SceneGraphNode

Plugs:

transform Transform RW The SceneGraphNode's local to world transform
types.enum HierarchyMode RW Indicates the transform mode of the node (local, world as PRMan, Maya or Max)
