public class Group extends Node
The Group node object is a general-purpose grouping node. Group nodes have exactly one parent and an arbitrary number of children that are rendered in an unspecified order (or in parallel). Null children are allowed; no operation is performed on a null child node. Operations on Group node objects include adding, removing, and enumerating the children of the Group node. The subclasses of Group node add additional semantics.

setAlternateCollisionTarget
public void setAlternateCollisionTarget(boolean target)
Causes this Group node to be reported as the collision target when collision is being used and this node or any of its children is in a collision. The default value is false. For collision with USE_GEOMETRY set, the collision traverser will check the geometry of all the Group node's leaf descendants; for collision with USE_BOUNDS set, the collision traverser will only check the bounds at this Group node. In both cases, if there is a collision, this Group node will be reported as the colliding object in the SceneGraphPath. This reporting is done regardless of whether ENABLE_COLLISION_REPORTING is set for this group node (setting alternate collision target to true implies collision reporting).- Parameters:
target
- Indicates whether this Group node can be the target of a collision.- See Also:
WakeupOnCollisionEntry
,WakeupOnCollisionMovement
,WakeupOnCollisionExit
-
getAlternateCollisionTarget
public boolean getAlternateCollisionTarget()
Returns the collision target state.- Returns:
- Indicates whether this Group node can be the target of a collision.
-
cloneNode
public Node cloneNode(boolean forceDuplicate)
Used to create a new instance of the node. This routine is called bycloneTree
to duplicate the current node.- Overrides:
cloneNode
in classNode
- Parameters:
forceDuplicate
- when set totrue
, causes theduplicateOnCloneTree
flag to be ignored. Whenfalse
, the value of each node'sduplicateOnCloneTree
variable determines whether NodeComponent data is duplicated or copied.- See Also:
