Struct bevy_transform::components::GlobalTransform

pub struct GlobalTransform(/* private fields */);

Describe the position of an entity relative to the reference frame.

• To place or move an entity, you should set its Transform.
• GlobalTransform is fully managed by bevy, you cannot mutate it, use Transform instead.
• To get the global transform of an entity, you should get its GlobalTransform.
• For transform hierarchies to work correctly, you must have both a Transform and a GlobalTransform.
  • You may use the TransformBundle to guarantee this.

Transform and GlobalTransform

Transform is the position of an entity relative to its parent position, or the reference frame if it doesn’t have a Parent.

GlobalTransform is the position of an entity relative to the reference frame.

GlobalTransform is updated from Transform by systems in the system set TransformPropagate.

This system runs during PostUpdate. If you update the Transform of an entity in this schedule or after, you will notice a 1 frame lag before the GlobalTransform is updated.

Implementations

impl GlobalTransform

pub const IDENTITY: Self = _

An identity GlobalTransform that maps all points in space to themselves.

pub fn compute_matrix(&self) -> Mat4

Returns the 3d affine transformation matrix as a Mat4.

pub fn affine(&self) -> Affine3A

Returns the 3d affine transformation matrix as an Affine3A.

pub fn compute_transform(&self) -> Transform

Returns the transformation as a Transform.

The transform is expected to be non-degenerate and without shearing, or the output will be invalid.

pub fn reparented_to(&self, parent: &GlobalTransform) -> Transform

Returns the Transform self would have if it was a child of an entity with the parent GlobalTransform.

This is useful if you want to “reparent” an Entity. Say you have an entity e1 that you want to turn into a child of e2, but you want e1 to keep the same global transform, even after re-parenting. You would use:

#[derive(Component)]
struct ToReparent {
    new_parent: Entity,
}
fn reparent_system(
    mut commands: Commands,
    mut targets: Query<(&mut Transform, Entity, &GlobalTransform, &ToReparent)>,
    transforms: Query<&GlobalTransform>,
) {
    for (mut transform, entity, initial, to_reparent) in targets.iter_mut() {
        if let Ok(parent_transform) = transforms.get(to_reparent.new_parent) {
            *transform = initial.reparented_to(parent_transform);
            commands.entity(entity)
                .remove::<ToReparent>()
                .set_parent(to_reparent.new_parent);
        }
    }
}

The transform is expected to be non-degenerate and without shearing, or the output will be invalid.

pub fn to_scale_rotation_translation(&self) -> (Vec3, Quat, Vec3)

The transform is expected to be non-degenerate and without shearing, or the output will be invalid.
