rayCast(to,from,dist,prop,face,xray,poly):
The face paremeter determines the orientation of the normal:
0 or omitted => hit normal is always oriented towards the ray origin (as if you casted the ray from outside)
1 => hit normal is the real face normal (only for mesh object, otherwise face has no effect)
The ray has X-Ray capability if xray parameter is 1, otherwise the first object hit (other than self object) stops the ray.
The prop and xray parameters interact as follow:
prop off, xray off: return closest hit or no hit if there is no object on the full extend of the ray.
prop off, xray on : idem.
prop on, xray off: return closest hit if it matches prop, no hit otherwise.
prop on, xray on : return closest hit matching prop or no hit if there is no object matching prop on the full extend of the ray.
if poly is 0 or omitted, returns a 3-tuple with object reference, hit point and hit normal or (None,None,None) if no hit.
if poly is 1, returns a 4-tuple with in addition a KX_PolyProxy as 4th element.
The KX_PolyProxy object holds information on the polygon hit by the ray: the index of the vertex forming the poylgon, material, etc.
Attributes (read-only):
matname: The name of polygon material, empty if no material.
material: The material of the polygon
texture: The texture name of the polygon.
matid: The material index of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v1: vertex index of the first vertex of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v2: vertex index of the second vertex of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v3: vertex index of the third vertex of the polygon, use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
v4: vertex index of the fourth vertex of the polygon, 0 if polygon has only 3 vertex
use this to retrieve vertex proxy from mesh proxy
visible: visible state of the polygon: 1=visible, 0=invisible
collide: collide state of the polygon: 1=receives collision, 0=collision free.
Methods:
getMaterialName(): Returns the polygon material name with MA prefix
getMaterial(): Returns the polygon material
getTextureName(): Returns the polygon texture name
getMaterialIndex(): Returns the material bucket index of the polygon.
getNumVertex(): Returns the number of vertex of the polygon.
isVisible(): Returns whether the polygon is visible or not
isCollider(): Returns whether the polygon is receives collision or not
getVertexIndex(vertex): Returns the mesh vertex index of a polygon vertex
getMesh(): Returns a mesh proxy
New methods of KX_MeshProxy have been implemented to retrieve KX_PolyProxy objects:
getNumPolygons(): Returns the number of polygon in the mesh.
getPolygon(index): Gets the specified polygon from the mesh.

without this, an incorrect sound path could cause scripts to to fail, making some functionality not work at all.
This also fixes a problem where samples would be loaded multiple times.
Previously, this behaviour was available only for sensors
that were not connected to any active state, which was
forcing the game designer to duplicate sensors in some
cases.
For example the Always sensors used to initialize the
states needed to be duplicated for each state. With this
patch, a single Always sensor with Level option enabled
will suffice to initialize all the states.
A Python controller can determine which sensor did trigger
with the new SCA_ISensor::isTriggered() function.
Notes:
- When a sensor with level option enabled is connected
to multiple controllers, only those of newly activated
states will be triggered. The controllers of already
activated states will receive no trigger, unless the
sensor internal state toggled, in which case all the
controllers are triggered as always.
- The old isPositive() function returns the internal
state of the sensor, positive or negative; the new
isTriggered() function returns 1 only for sensors
that generated an event in the current frame.
The root cause of this bug is the fact that Bullet shapes
are shared between duplicated game objects. As the physics
object scale is stored in the shape, all duplicas must
have the same scale otherwise the physics representation
is incorrect.
This fix introduces a mechanism to duplicate shapes at
runtime so that Bullet shapes are not shared anymore.
The drawback is an increased memory consuption.
A reference count mechanism will be introduced in a
later revision to keep Bullet shape shared between
duplicas that have the same scale.
workaround for python stopping and starting by storing the dictionary as marshal'd data. this means only python types are supported.
This feature is needed so when switching from a menu to a level blendfile, the configuration isnt lost.
This is odd because BLO_read_from_file was commented out with """//this doesn't work anymore for relative paths, so use BLO_read_from_memory instead"""
Undoing Erwins changes from r7497, just use normal file loading. From the commit log its not clear if he means relative filenames or relative linked libs but from testing both work now.
Introduction of a new Delay sensor that can be used to
generate positive and negative triggers at precise time,
expressed in number of frames.
The delay parameter defines the length of the initial
OFF period. A positive trigger is generated at the end
of this period. The duration parameter defines the
length of the ON period following the OFF period.
A negative trigger is generated at the end of the ON period.
If duration is 0, the sensor stays ON and there is no
negative trigger.
The sensor runs the OFF-ON cycle once unless the repeat
option is set: the OFF-ON cycle repeats indefinately
(or the OFF cycle if duration is 0).
The new generic SCA_ISensor::reset() Python function
can be used at any time to restart the sensor: the
current cycle is interrupted and no trigger is generated.
buttons_logic.c - NULL checks for game logic buttons, linking in groups with some logic links to objects outsude the group could crash blender. There are NULL checks for this case elsewhere so I assume it should be supported.
CMakeLists.txt - remove YESIAMSTUPID option, is not used anymore.
* bugfix for BGE python api - SetParent actuator getObject would segfault if the object was not set.
* Added utility function ConvertPythonToGameObject() that can take a GameObject, string or None and set the game object from this since it was being done in a number of places.
* allow setObject(None), since no object is valid for actuators, Python should be able to set this.
* added optional argument for getObject() so it returns the KX_GameObject rather then its name, would prefer this be default but it could break existing games.
* removed macros that were not used much, some misleading.
* removed error string setting calls that overwrote the error set by PyArg_ParseTuple with a less useful one.
* use python macros Py_RETURN_NONE, Py_RETURN_TRUE, Py_RETURN_FALSE
somewhat random crashes, which I think was caused by the error print
using python objects that were freed too soon. Now it frees the dictionary
after the print.
Note: yuck, this is a horrible way to do it -- python devs should
think about splitting the python stuff into separate libs if they
only want to partially include it in the game engine.
* GBE Python API's alignToVect wasnt clamping the align ammount from 0.0-1.0
* Generated images arnt animated - use for a test to see if the textures animated.
We assign the material name before check the pointer.
Please Benoit check this and also I have a compiler warning
about the second argument in the previous call of
ConvertMaterialIpos, the argument is NULL but the function
need a dword.
