Members

cancelFunction : Request.CancelCallback
engine/Source/Core/Request.js 47

The function that is called when the request is cancelled.

priority : Number
engine/Source/Core/Request.js 66

Priority is a unit-less value where lower values represent higher priority. For world-based objects, this is usually the distance from the camera. A request that does not have a priority function defaults to a priority of 0. If priorityFunction is defined, this value is updated every frame with the result of that call.
Default Value: 0.0
