Member Function Description

  • AABB get_aabb ( ) const

Returns the AABB (also known as the bounding box) for this VisualInstance.

  • AABB get_transformed_aabb ( ) const

Returns the transformed AABB (also known as the bounding box) for this VisualInstance.

Transformed in this case means the AABB plus the position, rotation, and scale of the Spatials Transform

  • void set_base ( RID base )

Sets the base of the VisualInstance, which changes how the engine handles the VisualInstance under the hood.

It is recommended to only use set_base if you know what you’re doing.
