Interface: AtmoBoardMesh

Public handle returned by buildAtmoBoardMesh. Mirrors the surface of the sol board's interactive mesh closely enough that the orchestrator (assemblePlanetSceneGraph + view switcher) can route hover, paint and raycast through the same state machine.

Properties

group

group: Group;

Root group that mounts the atmo mesh into the body scene graph.

---

tiles

tiles: readonly Tile[];

Atmo tiles (re-export from input — convenience for downstream consumers).

Methods

setVisible()

setVisible(visible): void;

Toggles the board's visibility wholesale.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
visible	boolean

Returns

void

---

setFlatLighting()

setFlatLighting(enabled): void;

Forces the board material to render with flat (light-independent) shading when enabled. Used by the playable atmosphere view so the star's directional lighting doesn't hide tiles on the night side.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
enabled	boolean

Returns

void

---

writeTileColor()

writeTileColor(tileId, rgb): void;

Stamps a single tile's vertex colour. Silently skips unknown ids.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
tileId	number
rgb	RGB

Returns

void

---

applyOverlay()

applyOverlay(colors): void;

Bulk overlay — same effect as calling writeTileColor once per entry.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
colors	Map<number, RGB>

Returns

void

---

getTilePosition()

getTilePosition(tileId): Vector3 | null;

World-space top-cap centre of a tile (projected to outerRadius). Returns null for unknown ids. Used by overlays that anchor markers on the atmo board.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
tileId	number

Returns

Vector3 | null

---

getRaycastState()

getRaycastState(): RaycastState;

Resolves the raycast target for the atmo board (mesh + face → tile).

Returns

RaycastState

---

queryHover()

queryHover(raycaster, parentGroup): number | null;

Runs a hover query against the atmo board's own BVH-accelerated mesh. Returns the tile id under the ray, or null when the ray misses or the board is hidden. The returned id is only comparable against other atmo tile ids — atmo and sol live on independent hexaspheres, so a sol id 42 and an atmo id 42 are unrelated.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
raycaster	Raycaster
parentGroup	Object3D

Returns

number | null

---

setHover()

setHover(tileId, tint?): void;

Highlights an atmo tile by overlaying a hover tint on top of its current colour. Pass null to clear the highlight. The previous colour is restored when the highlight clears or moves to another tile. The hover tint is purely a vertex-colour overlay — no extra mesh.

Parameters

Parameter	Type
tileId	number | null
tint?	RGB

Returns

void

---

dispose()

dispose(): void;

Releases the BVH and the merged geometry. Idempotent.

Returns

void
