External Signal

[47box]

Hi,

Is it possible (receive / send) signal form the scene?   I will try better explain  with a exemple I have in mind.

 

My idea is to create a 3D scene (like one HOME) using FPS camera to run arround it and check the status of the lights inside of it.

Let  suppose I will create a Home Interface(UI) to have (input/output) signals from a code to be displayed in a 3D scene.

For exemple: When a user turn on the light in a certain place of the house ....we can send the signal to the UI to show the user in a 3D a light inside the place on.

Thanks in advance.

You will need to run a server at some point in time. Then you could think about socket.io to communicate with your server.

Hi DeltaKosh

I have a 3D scene created in 3Dmax...... Let  suppose I created a cube in 3Dmax and I exported it to xxx.babylon.

How can I have a signal from the scene rendered in canvas from the cube above mentioned.

exemple:  

- user click on cube and I can have:   1

- user click on cube again it goes :   0 

 

Can you point me a entry like you did in the post above.

 

Thank you.

Hi @47box and welcome to the forum and BabylonJS. Unfortunately your question is not entirely clear which is maybe a translation to English problem. The title External Signal with the your text makes it sound like you want to switch on a real switch in a real home and have BabylonJS switch on a virtual switch in a virtual home on your computer.

However perhaps you mean you have a model of a home in BabylonJS and as the user moves around the home and sees different rooms in the model you want the user to click on a switch in the model and have the room light come on in the model. In other words you want a user to click on a mesh and have something change in the scene. If this is so then this playground might help you start  http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#187MLU#1 click on sphere to change its color. If this is what you need this page from the documentation should help http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/how_to_use_actions. A search for lights in the documentation might also be useful.

If you truly mean a UI for your real home to cause a reaction in a scene of BabylonJS then this would be beyond my expertise.

Good luck with your project

Hi Jhon,

"The title External Signal with the your text makes it sound like you want to switch on a real switch in a real home and have BabylonJS switch on a virtual switch in a virtual home on your computer."  ----->   You understood perfectly what I want to do.

I got your links and I will have a look to check it will fill my idea. At first point I´m a bit confused because I´ve been tring to get  a framework I will use (I means I just take a superficial overview of the frameworks to check it will fill my needs ). You gave me a good entries to check it.

I´m appreciated your info Jhon. Thank you very much. Have a good day!!!
