Method Summary

MotionUnit	copy(AnimationPlayer p) Create a copy of this motion unit and link it to the animationplayer
TimedMotionUnit	createTMU(BMLBlockPeg bmlBlockPeg, String i, String bmlId) Creates the TimedMotionUnit corresponding to this motion unit
String	getParameterValue(String name)
MotionUnit	getPredictor(VJoint vPredict) Returns a new motion unit that can be used as a predictor for this motion unit, null if prediction is not attainable
double	getPreferedDuration()
String	getReplacementGroup() Get the motionunit replacement group (=typically the BML behavior) Used to determine the currently active persistent TMU for this group in the player Only one group is active at a time
void	play(double t) Executes the motion unit, typically by rotating some VJoints

Method Detail

setParameterValue

void setParameterValue(String name,
                       float value)

setParameterValue

void setParameterValue(String name,
                       String value)

getParameterValue

String getParameterValue(String name)

play

void play(double t)
          throws MUPlayException

Executes the motion unit, typically by rotating some VJoints

Parameters:

t - execution time, 0 < t < 1

Throws:

MUPlayException - if the play fails for some reason

createTMU

TimedMotionUnit createTMU(BMLBlockPeg bmlBlockPeg,
                          String i,
                          String bmlId)

Creates the TimedMotionUnit corresponding to this motion unit

Parameters:

i - behaviour id

bmlId - BML block id

Returns:

the TMU

getPredictor

MotionUnit getPredictor(VJoint vPredict)

Returns a new motion unit that can be used as a predictor for this motion unit, null if prediction is not attainable

Parameters:

vPredict - VJoint to execute the prediction on

Returns:

predictor motion unit

getPreferedDuration

double getPreferedDuration()

Returns:

Prefered duration (in seconds) of this motion unit, 0 means not determined/infinite

copy

MotionUnit copy(AnimationPlayer p)

Create a copy of this motion unit and link it to the animationplayer

getReplacementGroup

String getReplacementGroup()

Get the motionunit replacement group (=typically the BML behavior) Used to determine the currently active persistent TMU for this group in the player Only one group is active at a time
