Waypoint

 
Waypoint
1

Position

1. Position
Position in coordinates XYZ or latitude, longitude, altitude of the waypoint on the map.
Normally, these values are coming from the mouse positioning at creation time.
Can be updated here manually.
 
2

Constraint

2. Constraint
Specify here the type of constraint that must use the component MotionFollow for any entity having to direct towards the waypoint.
  • None: nothing selected
  • Speed: speed constraint. See (6)
  • ETA: time constraint. See (7)
 
3

Speed

3. Speed
If speed constraint is selected, specify here (in the desired unit), the maximum speed the entity must reach to direct towards this waypoint.
MotionFollow uses this constraint but any user component or logic can do the same or adapt this speed.
4

ETA

4. ETA
Estimated Time of Arrival setting. Use this value so that the entity will adapt its speed to reach the waypoint at the desired time.
  • Relative: duration to observe from the moment the instruction to head towards the point is received.
  • Absolute: simulation time to observe.
 
5

Proximity

5. Proximity
Minimal distance from the entity to the waypoint used to consider it reached or not. Used by MotionFollow component.
 
6

Data Model

6. Data Model
If a data model must be associated with the waypoint (to get extra settings or give specific data to the user code), select it from the drop down list.
To set or change the parameters (interface) of the data model, use the button.
For example, a waypoint might represent a fix or a navaid. Using the data model attachment capability, user will be able to specialize any waypoint of his trajectory.
 
7

When reached

7. When reached
This event setting is only informative and used by built-in component MotionFollow.
Use can set here any event and trigger it from any user code.
See event setting here.
