ambient

turtles

Entrada: none
Salida: list

Returns the turtle's ambient light values, if the turtle is acting as a light. See setambient

show ambient

animate

turtles

Entrada: milliseconds (number) OR movement (word) | frames (list)
Salida: none

Animates the calling turtle, either by cycling through a series of models (frames) every x milliseconds regardless of movement, or by cycling through a series of models (frames) during each step of a fluid movement based on a particular command, such as forward. For example, animate 100 [model1 model2 model3] would cycle the turtle through the three given models every 100ms, regardless of if it is moving or not, while animate "forward [model1 model2 model3] will only animate the turtle when it moves forward. If fluid is enabled, multiple frames will be shown during the movement, otherwise only one frame of animation will advance per turtle command. noanimate disables ALL animations applied to the current turtle. Specifying an empty list of frames will also turn a specific animation type off (but leave it at the last model frame animated).

hatch

turtles

Entrada: list
Salida: none

Hatch creates a new turtle that contains a copy of the calling turtle's global (variable) containers and loop counters at the calling turtle's position and orientation and then executes the requests specified in the provided list in a new thread. Hatchling models are hidden when they are created. The hatchling is automatically given an incremental name based on the name of the turtle that called hatch. Once all the given requests have been executed the hatchling dies and its turtle track is deleted. hatchlimit and hatchrate moderate the creation of hatchlings, the first the total number that can be 'alive' at one time (default 100) and the second the number that can be created each second. If you wish to save its turtle track, you will need to use merge. You can use the parent: prefix (eg parent:fillcolor) to retrieve parental attributes. Finally, hatch calls updatestate if norender or notrackrender is on, to ensure it is hatched in the right place. See merge, die, calm

nameturtle "fred

newbale

turtles

Entrada: name (word)
Salida: none

Creates a new 'bale', or group of turtles. Turtles in bales execute code in two stages: first, each turtle executes the init procedure defined inside of the bale (output can be used to pass parameters to the main procedure), and then second they execute the main procedure defined inside of the bale repeatedly until stopped or suspended. Each turtle in the bale executes consecutively, using a single worker, ensuring they remain synchronised, and reducing load on the host computer.

Bales can also contain triggers and other procedures that can be called from init or main. die causes the calling bale turtle to be removed from the bale and cease existing. The name of a bale turtle is a combination of its numerical index inside the bale, and the name of the bale itself, eg bale12. newbale is declared in the workspace similarly to newturtle. You start a bale using startbale.

Global containers are shared between bale members, and so containers specific to individual bale members need to be declared private or local (local variables only exist for the specific iteration of the bale code execution).

See startbale, stopbale, pausebale, resumebale, balename, baleindex,  balemembers, populate, depopulate, balep, baleactivep, balepausedp, baleindexp

setlockelevationmode

turtles

Entrada: [point] OR [sphere <diameter>] OR [voxel [x1 y1 z1][x2 y2 z2]]
Salida: none

Sets the method used by lockelevation. Point simply alters the elevation when the turtle's position strays into a new sector. Sphere alters the position if any of the area of a sphere of the specified diameter surrounding the turtle's position enters a new sector. Voxel does similarly with the area of the voxel offset from the turtle's position, as such the first list values need to be negative in order to include the turtle position within that area. See lockelevationmode

setlockelevationmode [sphere 5]
setlockelevationmode [voxel [-10 -10 -10][10 10 10]]

setmodel

turtles

Entrada: modelname (word) OR [list of instructions]
Salida: none

Sets the turtle model to the specified model name or constructs a temporary model using the given list of instructions. Note that you cannot execute a procedure inside of a setmodel list, and you should use tags and newmodel to construct a model in that way. Note that in physics modes, the center of gravity of the turtle model is its origin (starting) point – so you may need to move the turtle when you start the model to compensate. See newmodel, setmodelscale Built-in models: myrtle, turtle, spaceship, astronaut, plane, invisible

setmodel "plane

Entrada: tagname (word) | [tagcontents] (list) OR [tag1 tag2…] (list) | [[tagcontents1][tagcontents2]…] (list of lists)
Salida: none

Replaces the contents of the given tag with the given contens in the model of the calling turtle. Allows for more complex model animations, but these must be managed with user code, as opposed to animate. See setmodel, begintag

setmodeltag "mytag [rt 90]
setmodeltag [mytag1 mytag2] [[rt 90][fd 20]]

setpremodel

turtles

Entrada: instructions [list]
Salida: none

Allows you to insert directional and movement instructions between the end of the turtle track and the start of the model. Mostly used to alter the orientation of the model, for example to point the turtle upwards when orbiting a point, rather than pointing at the point, as in the startup animation, or to rotate the model without affecting its logical orientation. Note that premodel obeys modelscale, and so premodel instructions are multiplied by the modelscale value if set. setpremodel does not cause the physics body (hull) to be regenerated and as such may cause odd effects in physical modes.

setpremodel [up 90]

setspecular

turtles

Entrada: RGBA (list)

Entrada: microseconds (mumber)
Salida: none

Sets the number of microseconds the turtle sleeps between executing each instruction, an instruction being a fully formed statement, such as print position, or right sum 20 30. The default is 500 (half of a millisecond). Note that if you set this to a low value, or 0, you may use a large percentage of your host computer's available CPU time, and may cause issues with your operating system's overall performance! See speed

setspeed 200

setspotcutoff

Entrada: vectors (list)
Salida: none

Sets arbitrary view vectors for the current turtle. When selected as a view (camera) turtle, if viewvectors are set the display will always be rendered in the direction and orientation specified by those vectors, regardless of the turtle's orientation. To return to using the turtle's orientation, specify an empty list, eg: setviewvectors []

Entrada: bale (word) or [bale param1 param2] | initialnumber or [initialnumber workers]
Salida: none

Starts a bale executing if not already executing and creates the given initialnumber of bale turtles, passing the optional parameters to the init procedure inside the bale if provided. If the number of balemembers is provided as a list, the second parameter in that list is the number of workers to distribute the turtles across (which can be used for performance tuning.) Note that a bale can be started with 0 members, which does not automatically cause a bale to cease operating, it just doesn't execute any code unless it has at least one active member. It can only be fully stopped by calling stopbale. See newbale, stopbale, pausebale, resumebale
