Flowgraph S.W.O.T Analysis

Rotate Entity/ Rotate Entity TO

Strengths

Able to Rotate the Entity continuously or from one angle to another.

Weaknesses

Can be difficult to accurately measure the rotation in Euler Angles.

Opportunities

Creating a dynamic reactive architecture that uses complex rotations to emphasis or analyse peoples movements.

Threats

Will need collisions turned off to avoid unexpected collisions. This makes the prospect of having rotating platforms limited.

Entity Spawn Archetype

Strengths

Very powerful tool. Able to spawn any archetype entity at any location with any scale, position and rotation.

Weaknesses

Can only spawn archetype entities.

Opportunities

Spawning markers as a way of tracking movements, spawning whole architectures dynamically to create the environment.

Threats

I find archetype entities hard to set up, and access the properties, this could limit potential ideas.

Beam To

Strengths

Can instantly Move an Entity to a new location with a new scale and rotation if desired.

Weaknesses

You can't track the movement of the entity.

Opportunities

Dynamically moving lots of entities with no risk of collision problems. Is possible to reuse the same entities over and over for different tasks by beaming them to new locations with different scales and rotations.

Threats

If the end co-ordinates are wrong it will be hard to debug the flowgraph because you can't see what path the entity takes as it "teleports" to the defined location.
