iContentChunk::instantiate_FloatRotateAndScale()

Description

Used to place instances of content chunk geometry into the world.
The instance objects generated can then be used to drive PathEngine's content processing functionality, and to place anchors and shapes against the resulting ground mesh.

Syntax

std::unique_ptr<iContentChunkInstance> instantiate_FloatRotateAndScale(float rotation, float scale, int32_t translationX, int32_t translationY, float translationZ, int32_t sectionID)

Parameters

	rotation		Orientation of the instantiated geometry in radians, specifying a clockwize rotation around the z axis when looking down that axis from above.
	scale		Floating point scale factor.
	translationX		X origin for the instantiated geometry.
	translationY		Y origin for the instantiated geometry.
	translationZ		Z origin for the instantiated geometry.
	sectionID		If any value other than -1 is given for this parameter then the sectionID attribute for all faces in the resulting instance's ground geometry will be set to this value (overriding any attributes in the original ground geometry). Set this parameter to -1 if you wish the sectionID attributed in the original geometry to be passed through unchanged.

Return Value

A pointer to a lightweight API object to represent an instance of this content chunk at the specific position and orientation.

Remarks

The instance objects generated are implemented in terms of references back to the base content chunk geometry, and are therefore very lightweight.

This method provides flexible rotation and scaling but the implication of this flexibility is that content chunks cannot be effectively pre-validated on creation.
If pre-validition is desired then iContentChunk::instantiate() should be used instead.
