NodeInterpolator

The NodeInterpolator node is useful for defining a list of other node's fields with different sets of associated values. These are called tags.

A node interpolator can host different initial conditions for a scene, or different setups for different conditions; for example, the weather.

Platform support

This node is fully supported on XR-Windows, XR-Portable Windows, XR-Portable iOS, XR-Portable Android, and XR-Portable WASM platforms.

Update modes

NodeInterpolator can host these sets of data, and can update the node fields in its list either:

• Continuously: By interpolation among registered set, or

• Discontinuously: By selecting a set.

Code example

This is a code example for NodeInterpolator.

<NodeInterpolator name="interp0" alpha="0.8" keys="{testp.Emitter0\blue,testp.Emitter0\green,testp.Emitter0\red}:{{0,start|0 10 10|0 30 30|0 200 200},{1,end|0 10 10|0 0 0|7.99 0 0}}"/>

Keys parameter

The Keys parameter contains the list of other fields nodes and their value sets.

The syntax is: {FieldList}:{ValueSets}

FieldList

The field list is a comma-separated list of field-complete names with the syntax node.field.

Example: {valve1.value,valve1.active,valve2.value}

ValueSets

The ValueSets include 1-n comma-separated value blocks. Each set has the syntax {alpha,tag|value0|value1|…}

• Ensure that there is a pipe between the tag and the first value element, but not after the last value element.

• Order the value blocks by alpha ascending. There must always be at least one value block.

Syntax example

This is an example of a keys parameter.

{0,start|0.5|true|0.5},{1,stop|1|true|1}

NodeInterpolator fields

These are the fields for NodeInterpolator node. Only the node-specific fields are indicated, not fields obtained by inheritance.
