makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator Class Reference

Detailed Description

DtControlSurfacesActuator manages the articulated parts for fixed wing flight control surfaces such as rudder, ailerons, elevators, and flaps. It receives control inputs through input ports and applies the appropriate deflection values to the corresponding articulated parts.

Uses Descriptor Type: DtActuatorComponentDescriptor

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DtControlSurfacesActuator() [1/3]

makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::DtControlSurfacesActuator	(	const DtString &	name,
		DtLocalObject *	owner,
		DtSimulationServices *	simManager,
		DtComponentDescriptor *	desc = 0,
		DtReaderWriterRegistry *	parentRegistry = 0 )

Constructor.

Parameters

name	The name of this component
owner	The local object that owns this component
simManager	The simulation services manager
desc	Optional component descriptor
parentRegistry	Optional parent registry for reader/writer functionality

Creates a new control surfaces actuator component with the specified parameters.

Referenced by DtControlSurfacesActuator(), and operator=().

~DtControlSurfacesActuator()

virtual makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::~DtControlSurfacesActuator ( )

overridevirtual

Virtual destructor.

Cleans up resources used by the control surfaces actuator component.

DtControlSurfacesActuator() [2/3]

makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::DtControlSurfacesActuator ( )

private

Default constructor (not implemented)

Default constructor is private and not implemented to prevent creation of instances without proper initialization.

DtControlSurfacesActuator() [3/3]

makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::DtControlSurfacesActuator ( const DtControlSurfacesActuator & orig )

private

Copy constructor (not implemented)

Copy constructor is private and not implemented to prevent copy construction.

Member Function Documentation

type()

virtual const char * makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::type ( ) const

overridevirtual

Gets the type identifier for this component.

Returns

String identifying the component type (DtControlSurfacesActuatorType)

Implements the DtSimComponent::type() method to return the type identifier for this component.

postAddComponentsInit()

virtual bool makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::postAddComponentsInit ( )

overridevirtual

Performs post-component-addition initialization.

Returns

True if initialization is successful, false otherwise

Gets and caches references to the articulated part repositories for each control surface after all components have been added.

tick()

virtual void makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::tick ( )

overridevirtual

Updates control surface positions each simulation frame.

Reads current input port values and applies the appropriate deflection to each control surface articulated part. When player control is lost, it will run one additional tick to reset surfaces to neutral positions.

creator()

static DtSimComponent * makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::creator ( const DtString & name, DtLocalObject * owner, DtSimulationServices * simManager, DtComponentDescriptor * desc = 0, DtReaderWriterRegistry * parentRegistry = 0 )

static

Factory method to create a new instance of this component.

Parameters

name	The name for the new component
owner	The local object that will own this component
simManager	The simulation services manager
desc	Optional component descriptor
parentRegistry	Optional parent registry for reader/writer functionality

Returns

Pointer to the newly created component

Static factory method used by the component creation system to instantiate new instances of this component type.

operator=()

const DtControlSurfacesActuator & makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::operator= ( const DtControlSurfacesActuator & orig )

private

Assignment operator (not implemented)

Returns

Reference to this object

Assignment operator is private and not implemented to prevent assignment.

References DtControlSurfacesActuator().

createPorts()

virtual bool makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::createPorts ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Creates input ports for control surfaces.

Returns

True if ports were created successfully, false otherwise

Creates the input ports for each defined control surface and adds them to the control surfaces port group.

createPortGroups()

virtual bool makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::createPortGroups ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Creates port groups for organizing input ports.

Returns

True if port groups were created successfully, false otherwise

Creates a port group called "control-surfaces" to organize all control surface input ports.

Member Data Documentation

myPorts

std::map<std::string, PortData> makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::myPorts

protected

Map of control surface names to their port and articulated part data.

Maps each control surface name (e.g., "rudder", "aileron") to its corresponding PortData structure containing input port and art part references.

myControlSurfacesInputGroup

DtInputPortGroup* makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::myControlSurfacesInputGroup

protected

Port group for control surface inputs.

Groups all control surface input ports under the "control-surfaces" group for easier organization and access.

myPlayerControlled

bool makVre::DtControlSurfacesActuator::myPlayerControlled

protected

Flag indicating if this entity is currently player-controlled.

Tracks whether the entity is currently under player control. When control is lost, this allows the actuator to tick one more time to reset control surfaces to neutral positions.
