Class TemplateUtility

StaticapplyTemplate

• applyTemplate(sceneObject, objectTemplate): UncertainAsyncOp<TemplateOperationResult, string>

• Updates the contents of the template with the contents of the provided template instance. If the provided object is not a template instance nothing happens. All template instances in all open scenes will have their diffs recorded, and will be updated after the apply operation is done.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Template instance whose template to update.
  • objectTemplate: Template

    The template to apply.

  Returns UncertainAsyncOp<TemplateOperationResult, string>

  Object signaling status and return value of the operation.

StaticassignTemplateInstanceUUIDs

• assignTemplateInstanceUUIDs(instanceRoot, templateRoot, templateResource): void

• Populates Template UUIDs of the provided scene object. The template UUIDs are taken from the provided template object UUIDs. Both of the hierarchies must match identically. Also ensures all objects in the instance hierarchy have the provided template resource UUID link, essentially breaking any nested template links.

  Parameters

  • instanceRoot: SceneObject
  • templateRoot: SceneObject
  • templateResource: Template | ResourceHandle<Template>

  Returns void

StaticbreakTemplate

• breakTemplate(sceneObject): void

• Breaks the link between a template instance and its template. Object will retain all current values but will no longer be influenced by modifications to its parent template.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Template instance whose link to break.

  Returns void

StaticcreateTemplate

• createTemplate(sceneObject, virtualPath): UncertainAsyncOp<TemplateOperationResult, string>

• Creates a new template from the provided scene object hierarchy, and makes the scene object an instance of the template if succesful.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Scene object hierarchy from which to create the template.
  • virtualPath: FilePath

    Virtual path at which to store the template in.

  Returns UncertainAsyncOp<TemplateOperationResult, string>

  Object signaling status and return value of the operation.

StaticgetTemplateDeltaDebug

• getTemplateDeltaDebug(object): string

• Gets a string that represents a template delta. This is only a debug representation and should not be used to parse or extract more informatio about the template.

  Parameters

  • object: SceneObject

  Returns string

StaticgetTemplateInstanceRoot

• getTemplateInstanceRoot(sceneObject): SceneObject

• Returns the root object of the template instance that this object belongs to, if any.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Scene object to retrieve the template parent for.

  Returns SceneObject

  Template parent of the provided object, or null if the object is not part of a template instance.

StaticgetTemplateLinkUUID

• getTemplateLinkUUID(sceneObject): UUID

• Returns the UUID of the template attached to the provided scene object.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Scene object to retrieve the template UUID for.

  Returns UUID

  Template UUID if the object is part of a template, empty uuid otherwise.

StaticisTemplateInstance

• isTemplateInstance(sceneObject): boolean

• Checks if a scene object has a template link. Scene objects with a template link will be automatically updated when their template changes in order to reflect its changes.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Scene object to check if it has a template link.

  Returns boolean

  True if the object is a template instance (has a template link), false otherwise.

StaticrecordDeltasForAllActiveScenes

• recordDeltasForAllActiveScenes(): void

• Performs delta record for all template instances in all currently loaded scenes.

  Returns void

StaticrecordTemplateDelta

• recordTemplateDelta(sceneObject, isRecursive?): void

• Updates the internal template delta data by recording the difference between the current values in provided template instance.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Scene object that is part of the template instance for which to record the deltas for.
  • OptionalisRecursive: boolean

    If true, will recursively record deltas for all children templates, alongside a delta the scene object.

  Returns void

StaticrecordTemplateDeltaForChildInstances

• recordTemplateDeltaForChildInstances(sceneObject): void

• Updates the internal template delta data by recording the difference between the current values in template instances that are children of the provided object hierarchy.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Scene object at the root of the hierarchy to record template deltas for. Deltas will not be recorded for the root itself, in case it is also a template instance.

  Returns void

  Note

  If the provided object contains any child template instances, this will be done recursively for them as well.

StaticrevertToTemplate

• revertToTemplate(sceneObject): void

• Remove any instance specific changes to the object or its hierarchy from the provided template instance and restore it to the exact copy of the linked template.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Object to revert.

  Returns void

StaticupdateAllTemplateInstances

• updateAllTemplateInstances(): void

• Updates all template instance in currently loaded scenes and templates.

  Returns void

StaticupdateInstanceFromTemplate

• updateInstanceFromTemplate(sceneObject): void

• Updates a template instance to the most recent version of the object from the template resource.

  Parameters

  • sceneObject: SceneObject

    Object to update.

  Returns void

StaticupdateSceneFromTemplate

• updateSceneFromTemplate(scene): void

• Updates all template instances in the scene to their most recent version, as stored in the Template resource. Any instance specific changes are preserved.

  Parameters

  • scene: SceneInstance

    Scene instance to update.

  Returns void
