Commands

This module contains the classes used for formatting and sending commands to the HoloOcean backend. Most of these commands are just used internally by HoloOcean, regular users do not need to worry about these.

Classes:

`AddSensorCommand`(sensor_definition)	Add a sensor to an agent
`Command`()	Base class for Command objects.
`CommandCenter`(client)	Manages pending commands to send to the client (the engine).
`CommandsGroup`()	Represents a list of commands
`CustomCommand`(name[, num_params, string_params])	Send a custom command to the currently loaded world.
`DebugDrawCommand`(draw_type, start, end, ...)	Draw debug geometry in the world.
`RGBCameraRateCommand`(agent_name, ...)	Set the number of ticks between captures of the RGB camera.
`RemoveSensorCommand`(agent, sensor)	Remove a sensor from an agent
`RenderQualityCommand`(render_quality)	Adjust the rendering quality of HoloOcean
`RenderViewportCommand`(render_viewport)	Enable or disable the viewport.
`RotateSensorCommand`(agent, sensor, rotation)	Rotate a sensor on the agent
`SendAcousticMessageCommand`(from_agent_name, ...)	Set the number of ticks between captures of the RGB camera.
`SendOpticalMessageCommand`(from_agent_name, ...)	Send information through OpticalModem.
`SpawnAgentCommand`(location, rotation, name, ...)	Spawn an agent in the world.
`TeleportCameraCommand`(location, rotation)	Move the viewport camera (agent follower)

class holoocean.command.AddSensorCommand(sensor_definition)

Add a sensor to an agent

Parameters:: sensor_definition (SensorDefinition) – Sensor to add

class holoocean.command.Command

Base class for Command objects.

Commands are used for IPC between the holoocean python bindings and holoocean binaries.

Derived classes must set the _command_type.

The order in which add_number_parameters() and add_number_parameters() are called is significant, they are added to an ordered list. Ensure that you are adding parameters in the order the client expects them.

Methods:

`add_number_parameters`(number)	Add given number parameters to the internal list.
`add_string_parameters`(string)	Add given string parameters to the internal list.
`set_command_type`(command_type)	Set the type of the command.
`to_json`()	Converts to json.

add_number_parameters(number)

Add given number parameters to the internal list.

Parameters:: number (list of int/float, or singular int/float) – A number or list of numbers to add to the parameters.

Add given string parameters to the internal list.

Parameters:: string (list of str or str) – A string or list of strings to add to the parameters.

Set the type of the command.

Parameters:: command_type (str) – This is the name of the command that it will be set to.

Methods:

`clear`()	Clears pending commands
`enqueue_command`(command_to_send)	Adds command to outgoing queue.
`handle_buffer`()	Writes the list of commands into the command buffer, if needed.

Attributes:

queue_size

Returns: int: Size of commands queue

clear(): Clears pending commands

enqueue_command(command_to_send)

Adds command to outgoing queue.

Parameters:: command_to_send (Command) – Command to add to queue

handle_buffer()

Writes the list of commands into the command buffer, if needed.

Checks if we should write to the command buffer, writes all of the queued commands to the buffer, and then clears the contents of the self._commands list

property queue_size: Returns: int: Size of commands queue

class holoocean.command.CommandsGroup

clear()

Clear the list of commands.

to_json()

returns:: Json for commands array object and all of the commands inside the array.

Attributes:

size

Returns: int: Size of commands group

add_command(command)

Adds a command to the list

Parameters:: command (Command) – A command to add.

clear(): Clear the list of commands.

property size: Returns: int: Size of commands group

to_json()

Returns:: Json for commands array object and all of the commands inside the array.
Return type:: str

class holoocean.command.CustomCommand(name, num_params=None, string_params=None)

Send a custom command to the currently loaded world.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the command, ex “OpenDoor”
