    Index

    Properties

    entity: Entity

    The entity to which the component is attached.

    Accessors

    • get initialized(): boolean

      Whether the component has been initialized.

      Returns boolean

    • get lower(): number

      The lower target position used when the state is set to false.

      Returns number

    • set lower(value: number): void

      Parameters

      • value: number

      Returns void

    • get motor(): Handle<MotorComponent>

      The motor component referenced by the actuation controller, which is used to move the entity between the lower and upper target positions.

      Returns Handle<MotorComponent>

    • get name(): string

      The component name.

      Returns string

    • set name(value: string): void

      Parameters

      • value: string

      Returns void

    • get state(): boolean

      The state of the actuation controller.

      Returns boolean

      If the state is set to true then the target position of the motor is set to upper, else the target position of the motor is set to lower.

    • set state(value: boolean): void

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

      Returns void

    • get upper(): number

      The upper target position used when the state is set to true.

      Returns number

    • set upper(value: number): void

      Parameters

      • value: number

      Returns void

    • get world(): World

      The virtual world to which the owning entity belongs.

      Returns World

    Methods

    • Added function called immediately after the component is attached to an entity.

      Returns void

    • Creates a handle (weak reference) to a trackable object.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • type: TrackableType<T>

        The type of object that is to be referenced.

      • value: null | T = null

        The object that is initially referenced by the handle.

      Returns Handle<T>

      A handle to a trackable object.

      Handles created through this function are automatically cleared when the component is detached/removed.

    • Asynchronous initialization function called immediately before simulating when the model is initialized.

      Returns Promise<void>

    • Post-update function called after physics has been updated.

      Parameters

      • dt: number

        The timestep (seconds).

      Returns void

    • Asynchronous post-update function called after physics has been updated.

      Parameters

      • dt: number

        The timestep (seconds).

      Returns Promise<void>

    • Removed function called immediately after the component is detached from an entity.

      Returns void

    • Immediately triggers asynchronous initialization if the component hasn't already been initialized.

      Returns Promise<void>

      This can be used in cases where one component references another in its asynchronous initialize function, but it is required that the referenced component has already been asynchronously initialized.

    • Immediately triggers initialization if the component hasn't already been initialized.

      Returns void

      This can be used in cases where one component references another in its initialize function, but it is required that the referenced component has already been initialized.

    • Subscribes to a subscribable object.

      Subscriptions created through this function are automatically unsubscribed when the component is detached/removed.

      Type Parameters

      • T

      Parameters

      • object: Subscribable<T>

        The subscribable object for which to subscribe.

      • subscriber: Subscriber<T>

        The callback function that is triggered when the object's value is updated.

      Returns void

    • Unsubscribes from a subscribable object.

      Type Parameters

      • T

      Parameters

      • object: Subscribable<T>

        The object from which to unsubscribe.

      • subscriber: Subscriber<T>

        The callback function for the subscription.

      Returns boolean

      True if the subscription was canceled, false otherwise.

    • Update function called every timestep when simulating.

      Parameters

      • dt: number

        The timestep (seconds).

      Returns void

    • Asynchronous update function called every timestep when simulating.

      Parameters

      • dt: number

        The timestep (seconds).

      Returns Promise<void>
