On Bigmap State Change (Flowgraph Node)

- **Node Name:** `On Bigmap State Change`

Overview

  • Node Name: On Bigmap State Change
  • Category: repeat_instant
  • File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/onBigmapStateChange.lua

Detects when the bigmap (map screen) is opened or closed, providing impulse outputs at both the start and end of transitions.

Pin Schema

Output Pins

PinTypeImpulseDescription
enteredStartflowyesFires when bigmap enter transition starts
enteredEndflowyesFires when bigmap enter transition ends (or instant)
exitedStartflowyesFires when bigmap exit transition starts
exitedEndflowyesFires when bigmap exit transition ends (or instant)

Internals

FieldPurpose
self.flagsPending event flags consumed on next work() call

How It Works

  1. work() - Resets all outputs to false, applies pending flags, then clears flags.
  2. onBigmapStartTransition(activate, esc) - Hook callback:
    • If activate is true, sets enteredStart flag.
    • If activate is false, sets exitedStart flag.
  3. onActivateBigMapCallback() - Hook callback: sets enteredEnd flag.
  4. onDeactivateBigMapCallback() - Hook callback: sets exitedEnd flag.

Uses the same flags-based impulse pattern as onBigmapPoiSelected - hooks buffer events, work() emits them for one frame.

Lua Code Example

-- The hooks this node listens to:

-- Fired when map transition begins (opening):
extensions.hook("onBigmapStartTransition", true, false)

-- Fired when map is fully opened:
extensions.hook("onActivateBigMapCallback")

-- Fired when map transition begins (closing):
extensions.hook("onBigmapStartTransition", false, true)

-- Fired when map is fully closed:
extensions.hook("onDeactivateBigMapCallback")

Key Dependencies

  • onBigmapStartTransition hook - Bigmap open/close transition start
  • onActivateBigMapCallback hook - Bigmap fully opened
  • onDeactivateBigMapCallback hook - Bigmap fully closed
