Property	Description
`root`	(get) root: Scene (set) (Not Available) Returns an object that is the root of the scene tree. Other objects are accessed by walking down the scene tree from the root using the `SceneObjectBase.child` and `SceneObjectBase.find` methods.

Methods

Method	Description
`clone`	clone(sceneObject: string \| SceneObjectBase, options?: {cloneBlocksInputConnections?: false \| true, cloneChildren?: false \| true, initialState?: {[key: string]: any}}): Promise<SceneObjectBase> Clone a scene object asynchronously. When cloning a scene object, keep the following in mind: - `sceneObject` is either the identifier of the SceneObjectBase or the SceneObjectBase itself to be cloned. Cloning a scene object with an identifier that doesn't exist, or one that cannot be dynamically instantiated fails the `Promise`. - New objects always get assigned a globally unique `identifier`. - All properties that are using Signal types get assigned a ConstSignal with the last value unless `initialState` (see below) overrides it. - `options` include a set of optional parameters for cloning - `cloneChildren` - when true, recursively clone all children of the scene object in the scene tree. If any of the children is non-clonable or fails to be cloned, roll back to the previous state before cloning and return an error that specifies the child’s id and type. The default is false. - `initialState` overrides any cloned states on `sceneObject`. - `initialState` can contain any `key: value` pair for any settable property of the scene object class (e.g. `hidden`, `transform`). Similar to dynamic instantiation, setting invalid fields will fail the promise. - `cloneBlocksInputConnections` - Block's input connections will be cloned if this flag is set to true. The default is false. The flag is ignored if `sceneObject` is not a BlockSceneRoot. If `cloneChildren` is also set to true, this flag will be recurisvely applied to all block children. Note: This API requires "Scripting Dynamic Instantiation" capability to be enabled.
`create`	create(className: string, initialState?: {[key: string]: any}): Promise<SceneObjectBase> Create a scene object asynchronously. When creating the scene objects, keep the following in mind: - All objects must have an existing class. - New objects always get assigned a globally unique `identifier`.` - `initialState` is optional, but encouraged to be used. - `initialState` can contain any `key: value` pair for any settable property of the class being instantiated. - `name` in `initialState` is being used, unless it's not provided - then `dynamicObject` is used. ) Note: This API requires "Scripting Dynamic Instantiation" capability to be enabled.
`destroy`	destroy(sceneObject: string \| SceneObjectBase): Promise<void> Destroy a scene object, asynchronously. When destroying scene objects, keep the following in mind: - All bound properties will be automatically unbound on destruction. - Destroying a scene object automatically removes it from any parent. - Destroying a scene object automatically removes it all children from it. - Destroying a scene object that doesn't exist fails the `Promise`. - Destroying a scene object that was created in Studio fails the `Promise`. Note: This API requires "Scripting Dynamic Instantiation" capability to be enabled.
`projectToScreen`	projectToScreen(point: PointSignal): Vec2Signal Returns a signal with the value that corresponds to the 2D point value (in Screen Space) of the given world coordinate. Screen space positions are represented in the range of `(0, 0)` to `(CameraInfo.previewSize.width, CameraInfo.previewSize.height)`, with the coordinate start being the top left point of the screen and `previewSize.width/height` being the bottom right. The values in the returned signal are not capped to the size of the screen space and can lie outside of the visible screen area. This functionality can be used for precisely positioning 2D screen elements or to add additional effects that apply to the entire camera texture, based on contents of the scene.
`unprojectToFocalPlane`	unprojectToFocalPlane(location: Vec2Signal): PointSignal Returns a signal with the value that corresponds to the 3d point (in World Space, in current units) of the given screenSpace point from the Vec2Signal. The z coordinate of the PointSignal will be calculated so that the 3d point will always be on the canvas (which should be on the Focal Plane). This function can be combined with TouchGestures to create a 3d point signal. var S = require('Scene') TouchGestures.onPan().subscribe(function(gesture) { var signal = S.unprojectToFocalPlane(gesture.location); });
`unprojectWithDepth`	unprojectWithDepth(location: Vec2Signal, depth: number): PointSignal Returns a signal with the value that corresponds to the 3d point value (in World Space, in current units) of the given screenSpace point from the Vec2Signal. The z coordinate of the PointSignal will always be equal to the given depth value. The depth should be given in current units. This function can be combined with TouchGestures to create a 3d point signal. var Scene = require('Scene') var TouchGestures = require('TouchGestures') TouchGestures.onPan().subscribe(function(gesture) { var signal = Scene.unprojectWithDepth(gesture.location, 0.5); });
