a) New Node > XPresso > General > Memory: used for delaying |
| 3 |
- has 'History Depth' and 'History Level' which are related to each other. |
| 4 |
- the higher 2 parameters, the bigger difference. |
| 5 |
- we put a Memory node between 2 basic nodes with connections input and output |
| 6 |
b) New Node > XPresso > General > Collision: allows to make some easy switches at time of Collision |
| 7 |
- Collision works only wit polygonal objects |
| 8 |
- if we want to make some actions, we have to, example, choose 2 converted objects with nodes 'Objects' in output |
| 9 |
- The nodes connect with a new node 'Collision' |
| 10 |
- The output port connect with a new node 'Result' (New Node > XPresso > General > Result). |
| 11 |
- The output port also connect with a needed basic node of the copied first or second object. |

a) X-Manager: has all structure of XGroup witn container of nodes |

- It allows to do any operations with nodes in structure, it's easier when we have a plenty of nodes |

a) Parenting in Xpresso |
| 54 |
- Just create all the same nodes, then choose the main node |
| 55 |
- Necessary properties insert into nodes, where on the main we use output ports, on other input ones |
| 56 |
- It's the easiest variant, but we should optimize it |
