Unigine::NodeExternBase Class

Header:	#include <UnigineNodes.h>
Inherits from:	Base

The base class that is used to implement logic of custom user-defined nodes. The custom node class should be inherited from NodeExternBase.

Notice

NodeExternBase isn't a node (it isn't inherited from the Node class). So when the engine loads an instance of the custom node class, a NodeExtern node is created. It wraps implementation of the custom node class inherited from the NodeExternBase class.

Usage Example#

To implement logic of a custom node, perform as follows:

NoticeThe custom user-defined node can be implemented on the C++ side only. So the example below shows how to implement such node in C++ and then use in both C++ and UnigineScript.

Inherit your custom node class from NodeExternBase.
Implement constructors, destructor and all required methods.
Register the class via addClassID().
(Optional) If required, export the class and its functions to UnigineScript.

MyNode.h contains implementation of the custom MyNode class inherited from the NodeExternBase class.

Source code (C++)

#include <UnigineNodes.h>

using namespace Unigine;

// inherit a custom class from NodeExternBase
class MyNode : public NodeExternBase
{
public:

	// constructors
	MyNode();
	MyNode(void *node);
	// destructor
	virtual ~MyNode();

	// unique class ID
	virtual int getClassID();

	// save and restore the node state
	virtual int saveState(const StreamPtr &stream);
	virtual int restoreState(const StreamPtr &stream);

	// save and restore the node pointer
	static void savePointer(const StreamPtr &stream, MyNode *node);
	static NodeExternBase *restorePointer(const StreamPtr &stream);

	// set world transformation of the node
	void setWorldTransform(const UNIGINE_MAT4 &transform);
};

MyNode.cpp contains implementation of MyNode's methods.

Source code (C++)

#include "MyNode.h"

// constructor with no arguments
MyNode::MyNode()
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::MyNode(): called\n");
}
// constructor with 1 argument
MyNode::MyNode(void *node)
	: NodeExternBase(node)
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::MyNode(void*): called\n");
}
// destructor
MyNode::~MyNode()
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::~MyNode(): called\n");
}
// returns the class ID of MyNode
int MyNode::getClassID()
{
	return 1;
}
// save the node state
int MyNode::saveState(const StreamPtr &stream)
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::saveState(): called\n");
	return NodeExternBase::saveState(stream);
}
// restore the node state
int MyNode::restoreState(const StreamPtr &stream)
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::restoreState(): called\n");
	return NodeExternBase::restoreState(stream);
}
// save the node pointer
void MyNode::savePointer(const StreamPtr &stream, MyNode *node)
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::savePointer(): called\n");
	return NodeExternBase::savePointer(stream, node);
}
// restore the node pointer
NodeExternBase *MyNode::restorePointer(const StreamPtr &stream)
{
	Log::warning("MyNode::restorePointer(): called\n");
	return NodeExternBase::restorePointer(stream);
}

// set world transformation of the node
void MyNode::setWorldTransform(const UNIGINE_MAT4 &transform)
{
	getNode()->setWorldTransform(transform);
	Log::message("MyNode::setWorldTransform(): called\n");
}

In unigine_project.cpp the MyNode class is registered.

Source code (C++)

#include <UnigineEngine.h>
#include "AppSystemLogic.h"
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include "AppEditorLogic.h"
#include "MyNode.h"

int main(int argc,char *argv[]) {
	
	// register the MyNode class
	NodeExternBase::addClassID<MyNode>(1);

	Unigine::EnginePtr engine(UNIGINE_VERSION,argc,argv);
	
	AppSystemLogic system_logic;
	AppWorldLogic world_logic;
	AppEditorLogic editor_logic;
	
	engine->main(&system_logic,&world_logic,&editor_logic);
	
	return 0;
}

In AppWorldLogic.cpp, approaches to work with the MyNode class are shown: you can directly create an instance of the MyNode class, or you can create an instance of the NodeExtern class by using MyNode's class ID. In both cases, an instance of the MyNode class is created.

Source code (C++)

#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include "MyNode.h"

int AppWorldLogic::init() {
	
	// create a MyNode pointer directly
	MyNode *my_node_0 = new MyNode();
	// call a member function
	my_node_0->setWorldTransform(Math::translate(Math::Vec3(0.5)));
	
	// create a NodeExtern instance by MyNode's class ID
	NodeExternPtr my_node_1 = NodeExtern::create(1);
	// obtain the MyNode pointer
	MyNode *my_node_2 = (MyNode*)my_node_1->getNodeExtern();
	// call the MyNode member function
	my_node_2->setWorldTransform(Math::translate(Math::Vec3(1.0)));

	return 1;
}

Output

MyNode::MyNode(): called
MyNode::setWorldTransform(): called
MyNode::MyNode(void*): called
MyNode::setWorldTransform(): called
MyNode::~MyNode(): called

Exporting to UnigineScript#

To use the custom node on the UnigineScript side, export the class and its functions to UnigineScript.

unigine_project.cpp:

Source code (C++)

#include <UnigineEngine.h>
#include <UnigineInterface.h>
#include "AppSystemLogic.h"
#include "AppWorldLogic.h"
#include "AppEditorLogic.h"
#include "MyNode.h"

int main(int argc,char *argv[]) {
	
	// register the MyNode class
	NodeExternBase::addClassID<MyNode>(1);
	
	// export the MyNode class
	ExternClass<MyNode> *my_node = MakeExternClassSaveRestoreStatePointer<MyNode>();
	my_node->addConstructor();
	my_node->addFunction("grab", &MyNode::grab);
	my_node->addFunction("release", &MyNode::release);
	my_node->addFunction("getNode", &MyNode::getNode);
	my_node->addFunction("setWorldTransform", &MyNode::setWorldTransform);
	Interpreter::addExternClass("MyNode", my_node);
	
	Unigine::EnginePtr engine(UNIGINE_VERSION,argc,argv);
	
	AppSystemLogic system_logic;
	AppWorldLogic world_logic;
	AppEditorLogic editor_logic;
	
	engine->main(&system_logic,&world_logic,&editor_logic);
	
	return 0;
}

And then use the MyNode class on the UnigineScript side:

Source code (UnigineScript)

#include <core/unigine.h>

int init() {

	// create MyNode
	MyNode my_node_0 = new MyNode();
	my_node_0.setWorldTransform(Mat4(translate(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)));

	// create NodeExtern by class ID
	NodeExtern node = new NodeExtern(1);
	MyNode my_node_1 = class_cast("MyNode", node.getNodeExtern());
	my_node_1.setWorldTransform(Mat4(translate(0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f)));

	return 1;
}
