Generic emitter

This element is a data emitter used to send information to a Generic receiver when the receiver and the emitter are in contact. It can be useful to send a flow when some elements overlap or when an element has reached a destination. Data can be transmitted by the emitter to the receiver and then carried by the flow, but the emitter/receiver pair can also be used as a simple trigger with no information exchange.

parameter	editable via "Parameter" tab	updatable via a controller	description	default unit	type
X-axis relative position	✔️	❌	Relative position of the element, from its attached element, on the X-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Y-axis relative position	✔️	❌	Relative position of the element, from its attached element, on the Y-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Z-axis relative position	✔️	❌	Relative position of the element, from its attached element, on the Z-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Z-axis relative angle	✔️	✔️	Relative angle of the element, from its attached element.	degree	Decimal number
Radius	✔️	✔️	Radius of the emitter, used to calculate an overlap with the receiver. It can be seen as a broadcast radius.	meter	Decimal number
Channel	✔️	❌	Signal broadcast channel. The receiver will detect the emitter only if they have the same channel.	-	Text
Color	✔️	✔️	Color of the emitter. This parameter can be edited.	-	Hexadecimal
iconX	✔️	❌	Relative position of the icon, from the emitter, on the X-axis.	meter	Decimal number
iconY	✔️	❌	Relative position of the icon, from the emitter, on the Y-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Visibility	✔️	✔️	This parameter allows you to choose if you want the element to be visible or not on the scene during the execution of the scenario. If the item is part of a group, it can inherit the value of that group.	-	Enumeration (visible, hidden, inherit)
Threshold zoom out	✔️	❌	Zoom level from which its representation on the scene is no longer modified.	%	Decimal number
X-axis position	✔️	✔️	Position of the element on the X-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Y-axis position	✔️	✔️	Position of the element on the Y-axis.	meter	Decimal number
SizeX	❌	❌	Size of the element on the X-axis.	meter	Decimal number
SizeY	❌	❌	Size of the element on the Y-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Z-axis angle	❌	❌	Angle of rotation of the element compared to its initial position.	degree	Decimal number
Z-axis position	❌	❌	Position of the element on the Z-axis.	meter	Decimal number
Height Z	❌	❌	Height of the element.	meter	Decimal number
X-axis angle	❌	❌	Angle of the element on the X-axis.	degree	Decimal number
Y-axis angle	❌	❌	Angle of the element on the Y-axis.	degree	Decimal number
longitude coordinate	❌	❌	Automatically calculated longitude value, based on the origin defined for the context and the position of the element.	degree	Decimal number
latitude coordinate	❌	❌	Automatically calculated latitude value, based on the origin defined for the context and the position of the element.	degree	Decimal number

Triggered behaviours

Destroy

At the reception of the flow, the element is destroy.

No parameters for this triggered behaviour.
