Transformation and Common Parameters

Transformation Parameters#

Position	Specifies the position coordinates for the node.
Rotation	Specifies the rotation coordinates for the node.
Scale	Specifies the scale factor for X, Y, and Z axes.

The parameters can be set to default values by clicking right next to the fields with values.

You can also copy and paste position, rotation, or scale as well as all transformation parameters together using the following context menu displayed by clicking right next to the fields with values.

Notice

Math operations are available for spinboxes.

Common Parameters#

Collider Object	Defines the node as a collider object, which means it is moved to a separate spatial tree for collision detection, optimising node management. The option should be enabled for all physically simulated objects. If a node doesn't participate in physics interactions, disable the option. The collision option can also be toggled on and off on a per-surface basis. More on enabling/disabling collision detection.
Immovable	Defines the node as a clutter object, which means it is moved to a separate spatial tree for immovable (static) objects optimizing node management.
Visibility by Sectors/Portals	Indicates if the WorldSector and WorldPortal are used to determine the visibility of the node. If unchecked, the node is always visible. The option should be used for indoor environments.
Culled by Occlusion Query	Enables occlusion query for the objects. The objects are tested whether their bounding boxes are seen. It allows reducing the number of rendered triangles, which is beneficial by using heavy shaders. This option provides the substantial performance gain when enabled for water or meshes with reflections. Notice Enable this option only for a few nodes that use heavy shaders; otherwise, the performance will decrease instead of increasing. Culling will be performed if the hardware occlusion query test is enabled for the scene (the Rendering -> Features -> Additional Hardware Occlusion Culling flag is set).
Triggers Interaction	Enables interaction of the node with World Triggers.
Grass Interaction	Enables interaction of the node (Object or Decal) with Grass. This option enables cutting out Grass in the areas of intersection with an Object or a Decal (e.g., can be used to remove vegetation under houses or from the surface of roads projected using decals). Notice It is recommended to disable this option for better performance, when cutting node out of grass is not necessary. Especially when the world contains a significant number of such nodes.
Clutter Interaction	Enables interaction of the node (Object or Decal) with World Clutters and Mesh Clutters. This option enables cutting out clutter objects in the areas of intersection with an Object or a Decal (e.g., can be used to remove vegetation under houses or from the surface of roads projected using decals). Notice It is recommended to disable this option for better performance, when cutting node out of clutters is not necessary. Especially when the world contains a significant number of such nodes.
Updated last	Indicates that the node will be updated last. The option can be used to update some objects after others. For example, you can set the option for PlayerPersecutor attached to a node, to update it after updating the node to avoid camera jittering.
