("intersection", (IntersectionEvent) => void): this;

Emitted every frame for each raycaster that the object is intersected by.

Returns

Section titled “Returns”

this

Handler Function

Section titled “Handler Function”

When the intersection event is fired, attached handler functions are called with a single argument, an IntersectionEvent.

Example

Section titled “Example”
symbol.nodes.Plane.on("intersection", (e) => {
  // Runs when intersection occurs on the Plane node
  // The argument e contains useful info about this event:


  // Stores the distance from the raycaster to this object in the raycaster's coordinate system
  var raycasterDistance = e.distance;


  // Stores the raycaster colliding with this object
  var raycaster = e.raycaster;


    // Stores the localPosition of the collision point [x,y,z] in the object's local coordinate system
    var localPosition = e.localPosition;
});
