flyBody

A fruit fly's body as an entity tree under a root: head with eyes, antennae and a proboscis, thorax, striped abdomen, six two-segment legs on single-axis pivots, two wings. `build` stands it; `update` moves the root kinematically and poses every part from a motor command.

What it does

flyBody

A fruit fly's body as an entity tree under a root: head with eyes, antennae and a proboscis, thorax, striped abdomen, six two-segment legs on single-axis pivots, two wings. build stands it; update moves the root kinematically and poses every part from a motor command.

Exports

  • M.build(root, { length? }) -> Body — stand a fly under root, facing the root's -Z, length world units long (default 0.6).
  • body:update(dt, { speed?, turn?, proboscis?, flight?, jump? }) — one frame: walk at speed (world units per second), turn at turn (radians per second, positive left), extend the proboscis (0 to 1), beat the wings and hover (0 to 1), hop on jump.
  • body:eye() -> pos, dir, body:mouthPosition(), body:frontFeet(), body:heading() — where the fly looks from, feeds with, stands on, faces.
  • body:destroy() — take the parts down.
  • body.groundY — the floor height the feet rest on (default 0).

Usage

local FlyBody = require("~.flyBody")
local body = FlyBody.build(public.entity, { length = 0.6 })
function update(dt)
    body:update(dt, { speed = 0.3, turn = 0.1 })
end

Notes

  • The gait is a tripod: right front, left mid and right hind step together.
  • Every part is a built-in primitive mesh tinted through its Model, so the body needs no asset of its own.

Interface

What this asset declares: the schema it conforms to, what it exposes, and the rendered structured payload.

conforms to

zero/source-extract/v2

A fruit fly's body as an entity tree: head with eyes and a proboscis, thorax, abdomen, six legs of two segments each, two wings. `build` stands it under a root entity; `update` moves the root and poses every part from a motor command — walking speed and turn, proboscis extension, wing beat, a jump — with a tripod gait and a ballistic hop. What the body does is decided by whoever holds the command; the `FruitFly` component reads it out of a brain.

buildLeg(root: ?, name: string, hipPos: { number }, side: number, L: number) → void

One leg: a hip pivot whose +X points away from the body, a femur along it, a knee pivot, a tibia hanging from the knee. `side` is +1 right, -1 left. Every joint is one pivot entity turning about one axis, so a pose is a chain of single-axis rotations: the hip yaws about Y (fore and aft), the shoulder under it drops the femur about Z, the knee folds the tibia about Z. The femur runs along the shoulder's +X, mirrored for the left side by the hip's resting yaw.

build(root: ?, opts: { [string]: any }?) →

Stand a fly under `root`. The fly faces the root's -Z; the root's origin is the thorax centre, `standHeight` above the feet.

root?The entity the body hangs from (the `FruitFly` entity).
opts{ [string]: any }?`{ length? }` — body length in world units (default 0.6).

Where the fly is looking from: the head's world position and the facing direction.

examples

local eye, dir = body:eye()

examples

local tip = body:mouthPosition()

frontFeet( ) →

Where the front feet touch the ground, in the world.

examples

heading( ) → number

The facing yaw, in radians about +Y.

examples

destroy( ) →

Take the body apart.

❒asset
# Model Loads and displays a 3D mesh on an entity. Disabling the component hides the mesh. Supports procedural meshes (`cube`, `sphere`, ...), model files, and remote URLs. Tint and outline are shader effects applied to the mesh. **Material lives on this component.** There is no standalone `Material` component — a material only renders where there is a mesh to render it on, so the `material` field is part of Model (and SkinnedModel). Set it at add time or assign the field later; properties are registry-wide. Public fields: `model`, `material` (`AssetRef<material>`), `tintR/G/B`, `tintBlend`, `outlineR/G/B`, `outlineIntensity`. Methods: `:setTint(color, blend?)` (color: `{r, g, b}` array or `{r=, g=, b=}` map), `:clearTint()`, `:setOutline(color, intensity?)`, `:clearOutline()`, `:setMaterialProperty(prop, value)`, `:getMaterialProperty(prop)`, `:getMaterialPropertyNames()`. ```luau entity(id).component.add("Model", { model = "cube", material = "gold" }) entity(id).component.get("Model").material = "checkerboard" -- swap material entity(id).component.get("Model"):setTint({1, 0, 0}, 0.5) entity(id).component.get("Model"):setMaterialProperty("roughness", 0.2) ```

# Default The neutral fallback surface — a plain white, non-metallic PBR material with mid roughness (`0.5`), sampling the built-in white texture. This is what an object renders as when no material is assigned. Built on `@builtin::shaders.pbr`. ## Inputs - `colors.base_color` — the flat tint (white by default). - `floats.roughness` (`0.5`) / `floats.metallic` (`0.0`) — a neutral matte dielectric. - `textures.base_color_texture` — the built-in `default:white` texture.

Usability ratings

Did the part work as advertised when consumers tried to drop it in. Separate from upvotes: those are taste; this is "did it function".
