Camera Transform (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Camera Transform
• Category: repeat_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/scene/camera/cameraAngle.lua
• Icon: Camera icon
• Color: Camera color

Outputs the current camera position, rotation, and field of view each frame.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

None.

Output Pins

Internals

• Uses core_camera.getFovDeg(), core_camera.getPosition(), core_camera.getQuat().
• Optimizes by checking isUsed() on pos and rot pins - only computes them if connected.

How It Works

1. Every frame, reads the current FOV and outputs it.
2. If the pos output is connected, reads the camera position as a table.
3. If the rot output is connected, reads the camera quaternion as a table.

Lua Code Example

-- Feed camera data into a recording node:
-- cameraAngle.pos → recordCamera.pos
-- cameraAngle.rot → recordCamera.rot
-- cameraAngle.fov → UI overlay display

Key Dependencies

• core_camera - getFovDeg(), getPosition(), getQuat()

Additional Methods

C:init()

Initializes the node, setting up pins and default properties.

C:work()

Main work function called each frame/tick when the node is active.
