Number of custom data elements passed via shader parameters to the batch material (up to 3).

Custom rendering logic

Disables an entity and its scripted or diagrammed interactivity, if it is currently enabled.

Gets the default saving mode

For objects that use it, this will point to the Design Object used to represent/manipulate this object.

Triggered anytime SceneObject Visibility is changed.

If object IsGrounded, this is the distance from Ground that it will fall to (sometimes there is an offset).

Returns list of lights affecting this scene object. In case if IsLit is false, returns empty list. If a private light list was specified, returns it. Otherwise, returns a list of lights updated from time to time (either on light's or object's movement)

Returns the height at which this object thinks of "grounded" (for objects that float, this might be a bit above the actual ground level, and for objects that naturally submerge, such as trees, this will be below the actual ground level). If Object is not-in-scene, then it always returns 0.

Returns the height at which this object thinks of "grounded" (for objects that float, this might be a bit above the actual ground level, and for objects that naturally submerge, such as trees, this will be below the actual ground level). If Object is not-in-scene, then it always returns 0.

Returns geometry data to render this scene object. Fill in VertexData (and optionally PrimitiveType and IndexData) with references to the vertex/index buffer. Leave VertexData null to not render anything. Default implementation does not provide any renderable geometry.

Retrieve instance data by it's index.

Retrieve instance data by it's index.

Determines intersection between the Ray and this SceneObject. Default logic models scene object as simple BoundingBox. Override this for custom logic.

Creates new or returns an existing ActorBatch fog given actor, taking materials and model in account.

Returns a copy of private light list or null if there's no private lights assignment.

Checks visibility of this scene object and adds into result list if visible. Performs frustrum test of this object and it's children recursively. Returns true if this object itself is considered as visible.

Indicates if object does not really have a 'Position' in the scene.

Indicates if object does not really have a 'spatial state' in the scene (i.e. no real position or orientation). Setting to 'true' means it ignore BOTH Position and Orientation. Setting to 'false' means it cares about BOTH.

Initializes the asset so that it might be prepared for use. By default, PrepareForUse() is called from this method as well.

Returns current count of instances in the batch.

Returns true if the SceneObject is not null, is Active, and is not disposed or about to be disposed of/deactivated.

Returns true if the SceneObject is not null, is Active, and is not disposed or about to be disposed of/deactivated, and, if ensureNotShuttingDown is true, this ensures it will not be soon disposed because engine is shutting down

Gets or sets whether or not to display the bounding box for this node.

Indicates if Instance was created by Deserialization.

Indicates if object is a "system object" or "low-level internal object" -- usually not shown or saved, but used for implementation Example: the RootScreenNode.

Indicates if the DesignMode Renderable is shown, used as a "grip" for manipulating this SceneObject. Typically used for "non-visible" object types, like Lights, Cameras, Sensors, ParticleSystems, etc.

Indicates if resource has been disposed.

Indicates if resource is in process of Disposing but not fully disposed.

Gets or sets whether the fog is overridden from the scene's fog settings.

Indicates if this object has gravity and falls to the ground (or to it's assigned "DistanceFromGround").

Gets if this entity is currently in an initialized (and non-disposed) state.

Returns true if given scene object contains in same scene where this scene object is. Kludge method, because Scene property is unreliable (it's assigned to World.Scene in SceneObject constructor).

Tells the Batch that it should auto-update instance LODs and cull too far away instances on camera movement. Default is true.

Enable or disable fade-out blending of the last LODs. Default is true.

Enable or disable blending transitions between adjacent LODs. Default is true.

Gets if this object is ready for use, not disposed or disposing, active and in a scene

Gets/sets if asset is ready to be used. Can be set to 'true' in class constructor in order to skip Preparation logic.

Indicates if the component is to be Saved when the owning context is saved (e.g. for components in your scene, this controls whether or not they are saved to the scene file when the scene is saved). Typically objects are 'Saved', unless they are transient to be programmatically created each time.

Indicates if Entity is Selectable.

Indicates if object is a "system object" or "low-level internal object" -- usually not shown or saved, but used for implementation Example: the RootScreenNode.

Indicates if Entity can be focused (controlled by the user).

Gets/sets object visibility when camera is under water. Note that it only refers to underwater visibility, not a visibility on water plane (which is defined by IsReflectionAllowed and IsRefractionAllowed flags). Default is true.

Temporary Field - to be replaced by string-based flag value. Indicates if object is within visible range of MainCamera.

Gets/sets constant opacity of this renderable.

For backward compatibility, possibly we will remove this property later.

Encapsulates the Dynamic properties of this body.

Attempts to prepare asset for use. To be sure, check "IsReadyForUse" after calling this method to ensure it's really ready for use before using it.

Gets the prototype this instance or prototype was created from and inherits components and settings from.

Removes all instances from the batch.

Removes instance given by it's index from the batch.

Removes group of instances given by their index from the batch.

Called from 'Activate()' method, or can be called manually. Should initialize custom state of the Activity. Note, that if the Activity is currently executing, this should have no effect upon the current Activity state.

Set DistanceFromGround to value that will place WorldBoundingBoxBottom in contact with ground. NOTE: Assumes object does not have any special considerations re point to bring in contact with ground.

Assume LODs start with "0". If only one of them, it is "0", so that is maximum allowed. Two of them, maximum is "1". Etc.

Gets or sets the actual scene this object belongs in. If this is not assigned to any scene, a the current main scene (or else a default empty scene) will be returned, to ensure null is never returned.

Reference to the scene manager who created this object.

Gets or sets the actual scene this object belongs in. Unlike the Scene property, this can be null and won't return World.Scene when it is null.

If treating Object as an Activity, this becomes the parent to which it is attached when you call "Start()".

Gets/sets shadow settings of scene object.

Snaps Object to the Ground Level.

If true, instances in the batch will be sorted by distance to the camera.
