Member Function Documentation

void StateObjectFeature::StateGraphicsProperty::OnActivate (  )  [virtual]

OnActivate.

Attach the property to a game entity. This will create and setup the required graphics entities.

Reimplemented from GraphicsFeature::GraphicsProperty.

void StateObjectFeature::StateGraphicsProperty::UpdateTransforms (  )  [protected]

update graphics entities transforms

This transfers the physics entity transforms into the graphics entity transforms.

const Util::String & GraphicsFeature::GraphicsProperty::GetGraphicsResource (  )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]

override to provide a self managed graphics resource (default is Attr::Graphics)

Get the default graphics resource, which is Attr::Graphics. subclasses may override this to provide a self managed resource.

void GraphicsFeature::GraphicsProperty::SetupGraphicsEntities (  )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

setup graphics entities

Setup the graphics entities. You may override this method in a subclass if different setup is needed.

Reimplemented in GraphicsFeature::ActorGraphicsProperty.

void GraphicsFeature::GraphicsProperty::UpdateTransform ( const Math::matrix44 m,
bool  setDirectly = false 
) [protected, virtual, inherited]

update the graphics entity's transform

Called to update the graphics entity's transform.

void GraphicsFeature::GraphicsProperty::SetVisible ( bool  visible  )  [protected, inherited]

Shows or hides all attached graphics entities.

void Game::Property::OnLoad (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called from within Entity::Load() after attributes are loaded

This method is called from within Game::Entity::Load() after the entity attributes have been loaded from the database. You can override this method in a subclass if further initialization is needed for the property after attributes have been loaded from the database, but please be aware that this method may not be called if the entity is created directly.

Reimplemented in PhysicsFeature::TriggerProperty, and StateObjectFeature::StateProperty.

void Game::Property::OnStart (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called from within Entity::OnStart() after OnLoad when the complete world exist

This method is called from within Game::Entity::OnStart(). This is the moment when the world is complete and the entity can establish connections to other entitys.

Reimplemented in GraphicsFeature::CameraProperty.

void Game::Property::OnSave (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called from within Entity::Save() before attributes are saved back to database

This method is called from within Game::Entity::Save() before the entity attributes will be saved to the database. You can override this method in a subclass if actions are needed before a save happens (this is usually the case if entity attributes need to be updated by the property before saving).

Reimplemented in PhysicsFeature::TriggerProperty, and StateObjectFeature::StateProperty.

void Game::Property::OnBeginFrame (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called on begin of frame

This method is called from Game::Entity::OnBeginFrame() on all properties attached to an entity in the order of attachment. Override this method if your property has to do any work at the beginning of the frame.

Reimplemented in PhysicsFeature::TriggerProperty, and StateObjectFeature::StateProperty.

void Game::Property::OnMoveBefore (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called before movement happens

This method is called from Game::Entity::OnMoveBefore() on all properties attached to an entity in the order of attachment. Override this method if your property has any work to do before the physics subsystem is triggered.

Reimplemented in PhysicsFeature::ActorPhysicsProperty.

void Game::Property::OnMoveAfter (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called after movement has happened

This method is called from Game::Entity::OnMoveAfter() on all properties attached to an entity in the order of attachment. Override this method if your property has any work to do after the physics subsystem has been triggered.

Reimplemented in PhysicsFeature::ActorPhysicsProperty, and PhysicsFeature::PhysicsProperty.

void Game::Property::OnRender (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called before rendering happens

This method is called from Game::Entity::OnRender() on all properties attached to an entity in the order of attachment. Override this method if your property has any work to do before rendering happens.

Reimplemented in GraphicsFeature::CameraProperty, GraphicsFeature::ChaseCameraProperty, and GraphicsFeature::MayaCameraProperty.

void Game::Property::OnLoseActivity (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called when game debug visualization is on

This method is called from Game::Entity::OnLoseActivity() on all properties attached to an entity in the order of attachment. It indicates that the entity will no longer be trigger, due to leaving the "Activity Bubble", i.e. the area of interest (most probably around the active camera).

Reimplemented in PhysicsFeature::ActorPhysicsProperty.

void Game::Property::OnGainActivity (  )  [virtual, inherited]

called when game debug visualization is on

This method is called from Game::Entity::OnRenderDebug() on all properties attached to an entity in the order of attachment. It indicates that the entity will be trigger from now on, due to entering the "Activity Bubble", i.e. the area of interest (most probably around the active camera).

void Messaging::Port::AttachHandler ( const Ptr< Handler > &  h  )  [inherited]

attach a message handler to the port

Attach a message handler to the port.

void Messaging::Port::RemoveHandler ( const Ptr< Handler > &  h  )  [inherited]

remove a message handler from the port

Remove a message handler from the port.

void Messaging::Port::Send ( const Ptr< Message > &  msg  )  [virtual, inherited]

send a message to the port

Send a message to the port. This will immediately call the HandleMessage() method of all attached handlers. If the message has been handled by at least one of the handlers, the Handled() flag of the message will be set to true.

int Core::RefCounted::GetRefCount (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the current refcount

Return the current refcount of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::AddRef (  )  [inline, inherited]

increment refcount by one

Increment the refcount of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::Release (  )  [inline, inherited]

decrement refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero

Decrement the refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero.

const Util::String & Core::RefCounted::GetClassName (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the class name

Get the class name of the object.

Util::FourCC Core::RefCounted::GetClassFourCC (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the class FourCC code

Get the class FourCC of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::DumpRefCountingLeaks (  )  [static, inherited]

dump refcounting leaks, call at end of application (NEBULA3_DEBUG builds only!)

This method should be called as the very last before an application exits.
