Detailed Description
The 3d ray is defined by its origin, direction and length. It will be affected by the transformations applied to the entity it belongs to.
Ray casting tests will be performed every frame as long as the component is enabled. The hits property will be updated with the list of intersections.
See also QAbstractRayCaster, QScreenRayCaster, and QNoPicking.
Property Documentation
direction : QVector3D
Holds the direction of the 3D ray. This should be a unit vector.
Access functions:
| QVector3D | direction() const |
| void | setDirection(const QVector3D &direction) |
Notifier signal:
| void | directionChanged(const QVector3D &direction) |
length : float
Holds the length of the 3D ray.
Access functions:
| float | length() const |
| void | setLength(float length) |
Notifier signal:
| void | lengthChanged(float length) |
origin : QVector3D
Holds the origin of the 3D ray in local coordinates.
Access functions:
| QVector3D | origin() const |
| void | setOrigin(const QVector3D &origin) |
Notifier signal:
| void | originChanged(const QVector3D &origin) |
Member Function Documentation
[slot] void QRayCaster::setLength(float length)
Sets the length of the ray to length.
If the value is less than or equal to zero, the ray is concidered to be infinite.
Note: Setter function for property length.
See also length().
[slot] void QRayCaster::trigger()
Convenience method to enable the component and trigger tests using the current ray.
[slot] void QRayCaster::trigger(const QVector3D &origin, const QVector3D &direction, float length)
Convenience method to set the ray details origin, direction, and length, and enable the component to trigger tests.
