getObjectType
java.lang.String[] getObjectType()Provide array of String enumeration results with quoted value(s) ["ALL","NONE","TERRAIN",...] from inputOutput MFString field named objectType.
Tooltip: The objectType field specifies a set of labels used in the picking process. Each string specified is treated as an independent label that needs to be matched against the same type in one of the pick sensor instances. Example: labeling a PickableGroup with the objectType value "WATER" and then attempting to intersect a pick sensor with objectType value "GROUND" fails since the objectType values do not match. Example: the special value "ALL" means that each node is available for picking regardless of the type specified by the pick sensor. Example: the special value "NONE" effectively disables all picking for this node and is the equivalent of setting the pickable field to false.- Hint: authors may define any value for objectType.
- Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so "separate each individual string" "by using quote marks".
- Returns:
- value of objectType field
-
setObjectType
