CreatureSignals

CreatureSignals class in Global context

Signal sources associated with the creature. See also: Signal, WorldSignals, NeuroSignals

9 members:

size integer	Signal count Number of signals in this set
add returns Signal	add `function add(string channel)` Create a new signal
addProperty returns Signal	add `function addProperty(string channel, untyped property)` Create a signal that automatically reflects one of the creature's properties (i.e. its power is equal to the property value). Example: Creature.signals.addProperty("energy","energy"); //then, Neuro.signals.receive("energy") in custom neuron would work similarly to the built-in smell sensor
clear doesn't return a value	clear `function clear()` Delete all signals
get returns Signal	get `function get(integer index)` Access individual signals (index=0 .. size-1)
receive returns float	receive `function receive(string channel)` Receive the aggregated signal power in a given channel.
receiveFilter returns float	receive `function receiveFilter(string channel, float max_distance, float flavor, float filter)` Receive the aggregated signal power in a given channel. Additional filtering options: - Max distance only receives the neighbor signals (based on their physical location) - Flavor filtering: only signals having the flavor close to the specified one will be received. The filter value is the maximum allowed difference.
receiveSet returns Vector	receive `function receiveSet(string channel, float max_distance)` Get all signals in the specified range. Returns a readonly vector object containing Signal objects (individual signals can be accessed as result[0], .., result[result.size-1]).
receiveSingle returns Signal	receive `function receiveSingle(string channel, float max_distance)` Find the signal source having the highest signal power (including the distance)
