Constructor Summary

AbstractGroundMesh(boolean smooth)
Creates a new mesh that is considered to be some kind of ground.

AbstractGroundMesh(boolean smooth, BoundingVolume type)

Constructor Detail

AbstractGroundMesh

public AbstractGroundMesh(boolean smooth)

Creates a new mesh that is considered to be some kind of ground.

Parameters:

smooth - create smoothed normals for the mesh

AbstractGroundMesh

public AbstractGroundMesh(boolean smooth,
                          BoundingVolume type)

Creates a new mesh that is considered to be some kind of ground.

Parameters:

smooth - create smoothed normals for the mesh

type - value from the BoundingValue enumertation

Method Detail

getWidth

public float getWidth()

Returns the width of the ground mesh

Returns:

width of the ground mesh

getLength

public float getLength()

Returns the length of the ground mesh.

Returns:

length of the ground mesh

initSearchGrid

public void initSearchGrid(int gridNodeSize)

Initializes a search grid to the ground mesh, that will be used for path finding on the mesh. The smaller the grid node size the more accurate is the path going to be, but the slower will the path calculation be.

Note: It is absolutely vital to call this method after every possible scale operation has been performed on the mesh!

Parameters:

gridNodeSize - size of a cell in the grid (the nearest power of two to the specified value will be used)

getSearchGrid

public SearchGrid getSearchGrid()

Returns the search grid that is used for path finding.

Returns:

search grid assigned to the ground mesh
