# $Id$ """ Documentation for the GameLogic Module. ======================================= There are only three importable modules in the game engine: - GameLogic - L{GameKeys} - L{Rasterizer} All the other modules are accessible through the methods in GameLogic. See L{WhatsNew} for updates, changes and new functionality in the Game Engine Python API. Examples:: # To get a controller: import GameLogic co = GameLogic.getCurrentController() # To get the game object associated with this controller: obj = co.getOwner() L{KX_GameObject} and L{KX_Camera} or L{KX_Light} methods are available depending on the type of object:: # To get a sensor linked to this controller. # "sensorname" is the name of the sensor as defined in the Blender interface. # +---------------------+ +--------+ # | Sensor "sensorname" +--+ Python + # +---------------------+ +--------+ sens = co.getSensor("sensorname") # To get a list of all sensors: sensors = co.getSensors() See the sensor's reference for available methods: - L{KX_NetworkMessageSensor} - L{KX_RaySensor} - L{KX_MouseFocusSensor} - L{KX_NearSensor} - L{KX_RadarSensor} - L{KX_TouchSensor} - L{SCA_KeyboardSensor} - L{SCA_MouseSensor} - L{SCA_PropertySensor} - L{SCA_RandomSensor} You can also access actuators linked to the controller:: # To get an actuator attached to the controller: # +--------+ +-------------------------+ # + Python +--+ Actuator "actuatorname" | # +--------+ +-------------------------+ actuator = co.getActuator("actuatorname") # Activate an actuator GameLogic.addActiveActuator(actuator, True) See the actuator's reference for available methods: - L{BL_ActionActuator} - L{KX_CameraActuator} - L{KX_CDActuator} - L{KX_ConstraintActuator} - L{KX_GameActuator} - L{KX_IpoActuator} - L{KX_NetworkMessageActuator} - L{KX_ObjectActuator} - L{KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator} - L{KX_SCA_EndObjectActuator} - L{KX_SCA_ReplaceMeshActuator} - L{KX_SceneActuator} - L{KX_SoundActuator} - L{KX_TrackToActuator} - L{KX_VisibilityActuator} - L{SCA_PropertyActuator} - L{SCA_RandomActuator} There are also methods to access the current L{KX_Scene}:: # Get the current scene scene = GameLogic.getCurrentScene() # Get the current camera cam = scene.active_camera Matricies as used by the game engine are B{row major}:: matrix[row][col] = blah L{KX_Camera} has some examples using matricies. @group Constants: KX_TRUE, KX_FALSE @var KX_TRUE: True value used by some modules. @var KX_FALSE: False value used by some modules. @group Property Sensor: KX_PROPSENSOR_EQUAL, KX_PROPSENSOR_NOTEQUAL, KX_PROPSENSOR_INTERVAL, KX_PROPSENSOR_CHANGED, KX_PROPSENSOR_EXPRESSION @var KX_PROPSENSOR_EQUAL: Activate when the property is equal to the sensor value. @var KX_PROPSENSOR_NOTEQUAL: Activate when the property is not equal to the sensor value. @var KX_PROPSENSOR_INTERVAL: Activate when the property is between the specified limits. @var KX_PROPSENSOR_CHANGED: Activate when the property changes @var KX_PROPSENSOR_EXPRESSION: Activate when the expression matches @group Constraint Actuator: KX_CONSTRAINTACT_LOCX, KX_CONSTRAINTACT_LOCY, KX_CONSTRAINTACT_LOCZ, KX_CONSTRAINTACT_ROTX, KX_CONSTRAINTACT_ROTY, KX_CONSTRAINTACT_ROTZ @var KX_CONSTRAINTACT_LOCX: See L{KX_ConstraintActuator} @var KX_CONSTRAINTACT_LOCY: See L{KX_ConstraintActuator} @var KX_CONSTRAINTACT_LOCZ: See L{KX_ConstraintActuator} @var KX_CONSTRAINTACT_ROTX: See L{KX_ConstraintActuator} @var KX_CONSTRAINTACT_ROTY: See L{KX_ConstraintActuator} @var KX_CONSTRAINTACT_ROTZ: See L{KX_ConstraintActuator} @group IPO Actuator: KX_IPOACT_PLAY, KX_IPOACT_PINGPONG, KX_IPOACT_FLIPPER, KX_IPOACT_LOOPSTOP, KX_IPOACT_LOOPEND @var KX_IPOACT_PLAY: See L{KX_IpoActuator} @var KX_IPOACT_PINGPONG: See L{KX_IpoActuator} @var KX_IPOACT_FLIPPER: See L{KX_IpoActuator} @var KX_IPOACT_LOOPSTOP: See L{KX_IpoActuator} @var KX_IPOACT_LOOPEND: See L{KX_IpoActuator} @group Random Distributions: KX_RANDOMACT_BOOL_CONST, KX_RANDOMACT_BOOL_UNIFORM, KX_RANDOMACT_BOOL_BERNOUILLI, KX_RANDOMACT_INT_CONST, KX_RANDOMACT_INT_UNIFORM, KX_RANDOMACT_INT_POISSON, KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_CONST, KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_UNIFORM, KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_NORMAL, KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_NEGATIVE_EXPONENTIAL @var KX_RANDOMACT_BOOL_CONST: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_BOOL_UNIFORM: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_BOOL_BERNOUILLI: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_INT_CONST: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_INT_UNIFORM: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_INT_POISSON: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_CONST: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_UNIFORM: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_NORMAL: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @var KX_RANDOMACT_FLOAT_NEGATIVE_EXPONENTIAL: See L{SCA_RandomActuator} @group Action Actuator: KX_ACTIONACT_PLAY, KX_ACTIONACT_FLIPPER, KX_ACTIONACT_LOOPSTOP, KX_ACTIONACT_LOOPEND, KX_ACTIONACT_PROPERTY @var KX_ACTIONACT_PLAY: See L{BL_ActionActuator} @var KX_ACTIONACT_FLIPPER: See L{BL_ActionActuator} @var KX_ACTIONACT_LOOPSTOP: See L{BL_ActionActuator} @var KX_ACTIONACT_LOOPEND: See L{BL_ActionActuator} @var KX_ACTIONACT_PROPERTY: See L{BL_ActionActuator} @group Sound Actuator: KX_SOUNDACT_PLAYSTOP, KX_SOUNDACT_PLAYEND, KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPSTOP, KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPEND, KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPBIDIRECTIONAL, KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPBIDIRECTIONAL_STOP @var KX_SOUNDACT_PLAYSTOP: See L{KX_SoundActuator} @var KX_SOUNDACT_PLAYEND: See L{KX_SoundActuator} @var KKX_SOUNDACT_LOOPSTOP: See L{KX_SoundActuator} @var KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPEND: See L{KX_SoundActuator} @var KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPBIDIRECTIONAL: See L{KX_SoundActuator} @var KX_SOUNDACT_LOOPBIDIRECTIONAL_STOP: See L{KX_SoundActuator} """ def getCurrentController(): """ Gets the Python controller associated with this Python script. @rtype: L{SCA_PythonController} """ def getCurrentScene(): """ Gets the current Scene. @rtype: L{KX_Scene} """ def addActiveActuator(actuator, activate): """ Activates the given actuator. @type actuator: L{SCA_IActuator} @type activate: boolean @param activate: whether to activate or deactivate the given actuator.
