PyObjectPlus base class of most other types in the Game Engine.
Test if the object has been freed by the game engine and is no longer valid.
Normally this is not a problem but when storing game engine data in the GameLogic module, KX_Scenes or other KX_GameObjects its possible to hold a reference to invalid data. Calling an attribute or method on an invalid object will raise a SystemError.
The invalid attribute allows testing for this case without exception handling.
| Type : | boolean |

This class is a basis for other classes.
The name of this CValue derived object (read-only).
| Type : | string |

| Type : | boolean |

When enabled only sensors that are just activated will send a positive event, after this they will be detected as negative by the controllers. This will make a key thats held act as if its only tapped for an instant. note: mutually exclusive with level, enabling will disable level.

This is a list like object used in the game engine internally that behaves similar to a python list in most ways.
As well as the normal index lookup (val= clist[i]), CListValue supports string lookups (val= scene.objects["Cube"])
Other operations such as len(clist), list(clist), clist[0:10] are also supported.
Add an item to the list (like pythons append)
Warning
Appending values to the list can cause crashes when the list is used internally by the game engine.
Count the number of instances of a value in the list.
| Returns: | number of instances |

| Return type: | integer |

This is a funtion especially for the game engine to return a value with a spesific id.
Since object names are not always unique, the id of an object can be used to get an object from the CValueList.
Example:
myObID=id(gameObject)
ob= scene.objects.from_id(myObID)
Where myObID is an int or long from the id function.
This has the advantage that you can store the id in places you could not store a gameObject.
Warning
The id is derived from a memory location and will be different each time the game engine starts.

Look towards another point/object and find first object hit within dist that matches prop.
The ray is always casted from the center of the object, ignoring the object itself. The ray is casted towards the center of another object or an explicit [x, y, z] point. Use rayCast() if you need to retrieve the hit point
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | the first object hit or None if no object or object does not match prop |
| Return type: |
Look from a point/object to another point/object and find first object hit within dist that matches prop. if poly is 0, returns a 3-tuple with object reference, hit point and hit normal or (None, None, None) if no hit. if poly is 1, returns a 4-tuple with in addition a KX_PolyProxy as 4th element. if poly is 2, returns a 5-tuple with in addition a 2D vector with the UV mapping of the hit point as 5th element.
# shoot along the axis gun-gunAim (gunAim should be collision-free)

if obj:
# do something
pass
The face paremeter determines the orientation of the normal.
The ray has X-Ray capability if xray parameter is 1, otherwise the first object hit (other than self object) stops the ray. The prop and xray parameters interact as follow.
The KX_PolyProxy 4th element of the return tuple when poly=1 allows to retrieve information on the polygon hit by the ray. If there is no hit or the hit object is not a static mesh, None is returned as 4th element.
The ray ignores collision-free objects and faces that dont have the collision flag enabled, you can however use ghost objects.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | (object, hitpoint, hitnormal) or (object, hitpoint, hitnormal, polygon) or (object, hitpoint, hitnormal, polygon, hituv).

| Parameters: | margin (float) – the collision margin distance in blender units. |
|---|
Note
If this object has no physics controller (a physics ID of zero), this function will raise RuntimeError.

If no arguments are given the physics mesh will be re-created from the first mesh assigned to the game object.
| Parameters: |
|
|---|---|
| Returns: | True if reinstance succeeded, False if it failed. |
| Return type: | boolean |
Note
If this object has instances the other instances will be updated too.
Note
The gameObject argument has an advantage that it can convert from a mesh with modifiers applied (such as subsurf).
Warning
Only triangle mesh type objects are supported currently (not convex hull)
Warning
If the object is a part of a combound object it will fail (parent or child)
Warning
Rebuilding the physics mesh can be slow, running many times per second will give a performance hit.

Using this method, you can extend or completely replace the gameengine material to do your own advanced multipass effects.
Use this method to register your material class. Instead of the normal material, your class’s activate method will be called just before rendering the mesh. This should setup the texture, material, and any other state you would like. It should return True to render the mesh, or False if you are finished. You should clean up any state Blender does not set before returning False.

| Parameters: |
|
Gets the colour of this vertex.
The colour is represented as four bytes packed into an integer value. The colour is packed as RGBA.
Since Python offers no way to get each byte without shifting, you must use the struct module to access colour in an machine independent way.
Because of this, it is suggested you use the r, g, b and a attributes or the colour attribute instead.
import struct;
col = struct.unpack('4B', struct.pack('I', v.getRGBA()))
# col = (r, g, b, a)
# black = ( 0, 0, 0, 255)
# white = (255, 255, 255, 255)
| Returns: | packed colour. 4 byte integer with one byte per colour channel in RGBA format. |
|---|---|
| Return type: | integer |
Sets the colour of this vertex.
See getRGBA() for the format of col, and its relevant problems. Use the r, g, b and a attributes or the colour attribute instead.
setRGBA() also accepts a four component list as argument col. The list represents the colour as [r, g, b, a] with black = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0] and white = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
v.setRGBA(0xff0000ff) # Red
v.setRGBA(0xff00ff00) # Green on little endian, transparent purple on big endian
v.setRGBA([1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]) # Red
v.setRGBA([0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0]) # Green on all platforms.

This field is only used if rotation_mode is 0. An action playing on the armature may change the value. An IK chain does not update this value, see joint_rotation.
Note
Changing this field has no immediate effect, the pose is updated when the armature is updated during the graphic render (see BL_ArmatureObject.update)
rotation of the bone relative to its parent expressed as a set of euler angles, read-write.
| Type : | vector [X, Y, Z]. |
|---|
Note
This field is only used if rotation_mode is > 0. You must always pass the angles in [X, Y, Z] order; the order of applying the angles to the bone depends on rotation_mode. An action playing on the armature may change this field. An IK chain does not update this value, see joint_rotation.
Note
Changing this field has no immediate effect, the pose is updated when the armature is updated during the graphic render (see BL_ArmatureObject.update)

When writing to this attribute, you pass a [x, y, z] vector and an appropriate set of euler angles or quaternion is calculated according to the rotation_mode.
When you read this attribute, the current pose matrix is converted into a [x, y, z] vector representing the joint angles.
The value and the meaning of the x, y, z depends on the ik_dof_x/ik_dof_y/ik_dof_z attributes:
| Type : | vector [x, y, z] |
|---|
Note
The bone must be part of an IK chain if you want to set the ik_dof_x/ik_dof_y/ik_dof_z attributes via the UI, but this will interfere with this attribute since the IK solver will overwrite the pose. You can stay in control of the armature if you create an IK constraint but do not finalize it (e.g. don’t set a target) the IK solver will not run but the IK panel will show up on the UI for each bone in the chain.
Note
[0, 0, 0] always corresponds to the rest pose.
Note
You must request the armature pose to update and wait for the next graphic frame to see the effect of setting this attribute (see BL_ArmatureObject.update).
Note
You can read the result of the calculation in rotation or euler_rotation attributes after setting this attribute.
