VisibilityNotifier
==================
**Inherits:** :ref:`CullInstance<class_CullInstance>` **<** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
**Inherited By:** :ref:`VisibilityEnabler<class_VisibilityEnabler>`
Detects approximately when the node is visible on screen.
.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group
Description
-----------
The VisibilityNotifier detects when it is visible on the screen. It also notifies when its bounding rectangle enters or exits the screen or a :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>`'s view.
If you want nodes to be disabled automatically when they exit the screen, use :ref:`VisibilityEnabler<class_VisibilityEnabler>` instead.
\ **Note:** VisibilityNotifier uses an approximate heuristic for performance reasons. It doesn't take walls and other occlusion into account (unless you are using :ref:`Portal<class_Portal>`\ s). The heuristic is an implementation detail and may change in future versions. If you need precise visibility checking, use another method such as adding an :ref:`Area<class_Area>` node as a child of a :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>` node and/or :ref:`Vector3.dot<class_Vector3_method_dot>`.

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_max_distance** **(** **)**
In addition to checking whether a node is on screen or within a :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>`'s view, VisibilityNotifier can also optionally check whether a node is within a specified maximum distance when using a :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>` with perspective projection. This is useful for throttling the performance requirements of nodes that are far away.
\ **Note:** This feature will be disabled if set to 0.0.

Method Descriptions
-------------------
.. _class_VisibilityNotifier_method_is_on_screen:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_on_screen** **(** **)** |const|
If ``true``, the bounding box is on the screen.
\ **Note:** It takes one frame for the node's visibility to be assessed once added to the scene tree, so this method will return ``false`` right after it is instantiated, even if it will be on screen in the draw pass.
.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
