Detailed Description

Each game object managed by the simulation has an Affordance Tree Node. It manages scope, affordances, slots, and, if the affordance tree is an active part of the simulation, its goals and levels of satisfaction.

position	World position

Member Function Documentation

bool Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.AcceptAuctionVictory ( Slot slot )

Accepting a slot (for which a bid was previously placed).

Parameters

slot	The slot this affordance tree node should consume (usually resulting in going to the slot and running an interaction)

Returns: Whether a slot was made available for consumption

bool Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.AddSlot	(	Vector3	worldPosition,
		Vector3	localPosition
	)

Adds a slot (a location to run interactions) to this Affordance Tree Node.

Parameters

worldPosition	The absolute position in the game world
localPosition	The position relative to the parent transform

Returns: Whether the slot was successfully added

bool Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.AddSlot	(	Vector3	worldPosition,
		Vector3	localPosition,
		Vector3	lookAtTarget
	)

Adds a slot (a location to run interactions) to this Affordance Tree Node.

Parameters

worldPosition	The absolute position in the game world
localPosition	The position relative to the parent transform
lookAtTarget	A position that characters can be oriented towards for better animation results

Returns: Whether the slot was successfully added

bool Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.AddSlot	(	Vector3	worldPosition,
		Vector3	localPosition,
		Vector3	lookAtTarget,
		bool	isAuctionable
	)

Adds a slot (a location to run interactions) to this Affordance Tree Node.

Parameters

worldPosition	The absolute position in the game world
localPosition	The position relative to the parent transform
lookAtTarget	A position that characters can be oriented towards for better animation results
isAuctionable	If the slot is not auctionable it will not be offered to agents.

Returns: Whether the slot was successfully added

void Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.ApplyParentInteraction ( )

Apply the effects of the interaction that is running at the parent node to this node.

Slot Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.AvailableSlot ( bool consumeSlot )

Returns a slot that has been won in an auction. Can be consumed in the process of asking for it.

Parameters

consumeSlot Whether or not the slot should be consumed

Returns: The slot that can be consumed

int Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.CountOfChildren ( )

How many children (Affordance Tree nodes) this node has.

Returns

string Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.Printer ( bool reportAffordances )

Returns a string with debug information. Recursive (reports this node and its children).

Parameters

reportAffordances Adds detailed information about the affordances to the debug info.

Returns: String with debug information

void Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.Remove ( )

Remove/Delete this affordance tree node at an appropriate time

bool Simulation.AffordanceTreeNode.setSpecies ( string name )

Set the species of this node to a specific kind.

Parameters

name	The name (identifier) of the species

Returns: Whether the species was successfully set.
