API - World

Access to information about the space.

When extending BasePlugin, these functions can be accessed via this.world.*

When extending BaseComponent, these functions can be accessed via this.plugin.world.*

Functions

getID() : string

Returns the unique ID of this space.

getInstanceID() : string

Returns the server instance ID.

getSessionID() : string

Returns a unique ID for the session.

raycast(options={}) : object[]

Performs a raycast and returns the properties of the objects that were hit.

Properties available for the options parameter

Property	Type	Description	Example
screenPosition	Vector2	Determines the screen co-ordinate at which the ray will be cast. Top-left of the screen is { x: 0, y: 0 } and bottom-right of the screen is { x: 1, y: 1 }	{ x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }
worldPosition	Vector3	Determines the world position at which the ray will be cast	{ x: 12, y: 1.4, z: 15.6 }
worldDirection	Vector3	Normalized direction at which to cast the ray. Ignored when screenPosition has been given	{ x: 0, y: 1, z: 0 }
length	number	Length of the ray in metres. Defaults to Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY	21
collision	boolean	true to only hit items with collision enabled, false otherwise. Defaults to false	false
