Ray Sensor: Material

• Detects a game object with the selected Material:
  • Not already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
    • One positive pulse is sent to the connected controller(s)
  • Already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
    • No pulse sent
• Sensor is reset when all game objects with the selected Material are no longer detected:
  • One negative pulse is sent to the connected controller(s)

Material:

• Toggle between Material or Property

Material Name:

• Only objects with the selected Material will trigger/reset the sensor
   
• Leave blank to react to all game objects

Axis:

• Direction the ray points
  • + X axis: 
    • Radar points in the + X direction of the game object axis
  • + Y axis: 
    • Radar points in the + Y direction of the game object axis
  • + Z axis: 
    • Radar points in the + Z direction of the game object axis
  • - X axis: 
    • Radar points in the - X direction of the game object axis
  • - Y axis: 
    • Radar points in the - Y direction of the game object axis
  • - Z axis: 
    • Radar points in the - Z direction of the game object axis

Range:

• Distance from the game object center that will trigger a deactivated Ray sensor
   
• Range:
  • 0.01 - 10,000.00

X-Ray Mode:

• Enabled:
  • Allows the Ray to see through game objects that don't have the selected Material
• Disabled:
  • Ray can't see through game objects

Note:

• Ray Sensor can be blocked (doesn't see through walls etc.)

True Level Trigger:

• Enabled:
  • Detects a game object with the selected Material:
    • Sends a positive pulse to the connected controller(s) with each logic tic
  • Last game object with the selected Material moves out of range:
    • Sends one negative pulse to connected controller(s)
• Disabled:
  • Detects a game object with the selected Material:
    • Not already detecting a game object with actor enabled:
      • Sends one positive pulse to the connected controller(s)
    • Already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • No pulse sent
  • Last game object with the selected Material moves out of range:
    • Sends one negative pulse to the connected controller(s)
• The default logic tic rate is 60 per second

False Level Trigger:

• Enabled:
  • Detects a game object with the selected Material:
    • Not already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • Sends a positive pulse to the connected controller(s)
    • Already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • No pulse sent
  • Last game object with the selected Material moves out of range:
    • Sends one negative pulse to the connected controller(s) with each logic tic
  • No game objects with the selected Material are detected:
    • Sends one negative pulse to the connected controller(s) with each logic tic
• Disabled:
  • Detects a game object with the selected Material:
    • Not already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • Sends a positive pulse to the connected controller(s)
    • Already detecting a game object with the Selected Material:
      • No pulse sent
  • Last game object with the selected Material moves out of range:
    • Sends one negative pulse to connected controller(s)
  • No game objects with the selected Material are detected:
    • No pulse sent to the connected controller(s)
• The default logic tic rate is 60 per second

Skip:

• Used with True Level Trigger and False Level Trigger
   
• Skips the number of logic tics entered before sending the next pulse

Level:

• Enabled:
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor belongs to to a State Mask group it doesn't belong to:
    • Sensor is deactivated
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor doesn't belong to to a State Mask group it belongs to:
    • Sensor is activated
       
    • Uses last input received before being deactivated
• Disabled:
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor belongs to to a State Mask group it doesn't belong to:
    • Sensor is deactivated
  • Switching from a State Mask group the sensor doesn't belong to to a State Mask group it belongs to:
    • Sensor is activated

Tap:

• Enabled:
  • Detects a game object with the selected Material:
    • Not already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • A positive pulse is immediately followed by a negative pulse (next frame)
    • Already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • No pulse sent
  • Last game object with the selected Material moves out of range:
    • No pulse is sent
• Disabled:
  • Detects a game object with the selected Material:
    • Not already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • Sends a positive pulse to the connected controller(s)
    • Already detecting a game object with the selected Material:
      • No pulse sent
  • Last game object with the selected Material moves out of range:
    • Sends one negative pulse to connected controller(s)
• True Level Trigger enabled and Skip = 0: 
  • Never has a chance to send a negative pulse

Invert:

• Inverts the output of the triggers.
   
• A positive trigger event sends a negative pulse.
   
• A negative trigger event sends a positive pulse.

Note:

• Sensors can be connected to more than one controller
   
• Sensors connected to a controller(s) belong to the same State Mask group(s) as the controller(s)
