Interface VRMLCollidableNodeType

All Superinterfaces:

FrameStateListener, VRMLNode, VRMLNodeType

public interface VRMLCollidableNodeType
extends VRMLNodeType

A marker interface for describing a node that can handle collision control and events.

The purpose of this interface is to act as a common gateway between the low-level detection routines and the VRML geometry. The methods here are to be used for that purpose, not for external authoring APIs and scripting to make state changes.

At this stage the API is quite simple. However, for CollidableGeometry, there will need to be a lot more low-level information provided. An example of this is the precise coordinates of the intersection point.

void collisionDetected()

Notification that a collision has just taken place. This collision should result in the appropriate event outs being generated.
