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 the controller thats running this python script:
co = GameLogic.getCurrentController() # GameLogic is automatically imported
# To get the game object this controller is on:
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{DelaySensor<SCA_DelaySensor.SCA_DelaySensor>}
- L{JoystickSensor<SCA_JoystickSensor.SCA_JoystickSensor>}
- L{KeyboardSensor<SCA_KeyboardSensor.SCA_KeyboardSensor>}
- L{MouseFocusSensor<KX_MouseFocusSensor.KX_MouseFocusSensor>}
- L{MouseSensor<SCA_MouseSensor.SCA_MouseSensor>}
- L{NearSensor<KX_NearSensor.KX_NearSensor>}
- L{NetworkMessageSensor<KX_NetworkMessageSensor.KX_NetworkMessageSensor>}
- L{PropertySensor<SCA_PropertySensor.SCA_PropertySensor>}
- L{RadarSensor<KX_RadarSensor.KX_RadarSensor>}
- L{RandomSensor<SCA_RandomSensor.SCA_RandomSensor>}
- L{RaySensor<KX_RaySensor.KX_RaySensor>}
- L{TouchSensor<KX_TouchSensor.KX_TouchSensor>}
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{ActionActuator<BL_ActionActuator.BL_ActionActuator>}
- L{AddObjectActuator<KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator.KX_SCA_AddObjectActuator>}
- L{CameraActuator<KX_CameraActuator.KX_CameraActuator>}
- L{CDActuator<KX_CDActuator.KX_CDActuator>}
- L{ConstraintActuator<KX_ConstraintActuator.KX_ConstraintActuator>}
- L{EndObjectActuator<KX_SCA_EndObjectActuator.KX_SCA_EndObjectActuator>}
- L{GameActuator<KX_GameActuator.KX_GameActuator>}
- L{IpoActuator<KX_IpoActuator.KX_IpoActuator>}
- L{NetworkMessageActuator<KX_NetworkMessageActuator.KX_NetworkMessageActuator>}
- L{ObjectActuator<KX_ObjectActuator.KX_ObjectActuator>}
- L{PropertyActuator<SCA_PropertyActuator.SCA_PropertyActuator>}
- L{RandomActuator<SCA_RandomActuator.SCA_RandomActuator>}
- L{ReplaceMeshActuator<KX_SCA_ReplaceMeshActuator.KX_SCA_ReplaceMeshActuator>}
- L{SceneActuator<KX_SceneActuator.KX_SceneActuator>}
- L{SoundActuator<KX_SoundActuator.KX_SoundActuator>}
- L{TrackToActuator<KX_TrackToActuator.KX_TrackToActuator>}
- L{VisibilityActuator<KX_VisibilityActuator.KX_VisibilityActuator>}
Most logic brick's methods are accessors for the properties available in the logic buttons.
Consult the logic bricks documentation for more information on how each logic brick works.
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.
