Monkeybread Xojo plugin - SCNNodeMBS methods

SCNNodeMBS.removeAllActions

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	19.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Ends and removes all actions from the node.

When SceneKit removes an action from a node, it skips any remaining animation the action would perform. However, any changes the action has already made to the node’s state remain in effect.

SCNNodeMBS.removeAllAudioPlayers

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	22.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Removes all audio players attached to the node, stopping playback.

SCNNodeMBS.removeAudioPlayer(player as SCNAudioPlayerMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	22.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Removes the specified audio player from the node, stopping playback.

player: An audio player attached to the node.

This method has no effect if the player parameter does not reference an audio player directly attached to the node.

SCNNodeMBS.removeFromParentNode

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	18.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Removes the node from its parent’s array of child nodes.

Removing nodes from the node hierarchy serves two purposes. Nodes own their contents (child nodes or attached lights, geometries, and other objects), so deallocating unneeded nodes can reduce memory usage. Additionally, SceneKit does more work at rendering time with a large, complex node hierarchy, so removing nodes whose contents you don’t need to display can improve rendering performance.

SCNNodeMBS.replaceChildNode(oldNode as SCNNodeMBS, newNode as SCNNodeMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	18.4	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Removes a child from the node’s array of children and inserts another node in its place.

oldNode: The existing child node to be replaced.
newNode: The node with which to replace the child node.

If both the oldNode and newNode nodes are children of the node, calling this method swaps their positions in the array. Note that removing a node from the node hierarchy may result in it being deallocated.
Calling this method results in undefined behavior if the child parameter does not refer to a child of this node.

SCNNodeMBS.rotateBy(worldRotation as SCNVector4MBS, worldTarget as SCNVector3MBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	19.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Changes the node's position and orientation, relative to its current transform, through a rotation around the specified point in scene space.

worldRotation: The axis and angle of rotation to apply, in scene space, expressed as a quaternion.
worldTarget: The center point, in scene space, about which to rotate.

The effects of this method are animatable; that is, calling this method during an implicit-animation transaction animates the rotation effect.

Available in macOS 10.13 or later.

SCNNodeMBS.runAction(action as SCNActionMBS)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	19.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Adds an action to the list of actions executed by the node.

action: The action to be performed.

SceneKit begins running a newly added action when it prepares to render the next frame.

Some examples using this method:

SCNNodeMBS.runAction(action as SCNActionMBS, del as SCNNodeRunActionCompletedMBS, tag as variant = nil)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	19.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Adds an action to the list of actions executed by the node. SceneKit calls the specified block when the action completes.

action: The action to be performed.
del: The method that SceneKit calls when the action completes.
tag: The tag is passed through to delegate method.

The new action is processed the next time SceneKit prepares to render a frame.
SceneKit calls your method after the action’s duration is complete. For example, in a game you could use this method to show a Game Over message after performing a fade-out action on a node that displays a player character.

SCNNodeMBS.runAction(action as SCNActionMBS, key as string)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	19.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Adds an identifiable action to the list of actions executed by the node.

action: The action to be performed.
key: A unique key used to identify the action.

This method is identical to runAction, but the action is stored and identified so that you can retrieve or cancel it later. If an action using the same key is already running, SceneKit removes it before adding the new action.

SCNNodeMBS.runAction(action as SCNActionMBS, key as string, del as SCNNodeRunActionCompletedMBS, tag as variant = nil)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	SceneKit	MBS Mac64bit Plugin	19.1	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	Desktop & iOS

Adds an identifiable action to the list of actions executed by the node.

SceneKit calls the specified block when the action completes.

action: The action to be performed.
key: A unique key used to identify the action.
del: A completion block called when the action completes.
tag: The tag is passed through to delegate method.

This method is identical to runAction, but the action is stored and identified so that you can retrieve or cancel it later. If an action using the same key is already running, SceneKit removes it before adding the new action.
SceneKit calls your method after the action’s duration is complete. For example, you can use this method with a wait action to execute some code after a timed delay. If during the delay period you need to prevent the code from running, use the removeActionForKey method to cancel it.
