DropSensor
The DropSensor node generates events based on input from a pointing device. Retrieves an object's uniform resource locator (URL) of an object (resource) dragged to the 3D window.
To texture an object, drag and drop the texture or links (in Netscape Navigator) onto the box in the 3D window. You can also drag a link to any of image file from your local drive or Internet.

enabled indicates whether the sensor is currently paying attention to pointing device input.
|
| |
|
hitPoint the location on the surface of the underlying geometry at which the primary button of the pointing device was released.
|
| |
|
hitNormal the normal at the point given by hitPoint.
|
| |
|
hitTexCoord the texture coordinate at the point given by hitPoint.
|
| |
|
dropTime the time at which the primary button of the pointing device was released.
|
| |
|
nodeChain returns the nodes names from the top-level to the geometry at which the primary button of the pointing device was released.
|
| |
|
url returns the URL for the object (resource) currently dragged to the 3D window.
