makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic Class Reference

Detailed Description

DtGunnerRangeSimLogic periodically computes the range from the entity to the first object or terrain polygon it intersects. It casts a ray from the observer through the center point of the screen and sets the player attribute "range" with the distance in meters. The computation occurs at a configurable time interval.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DtGunnerRangeSimLogic()

makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic

(

)

Constructor for DtGunnerRangeSimLogic.

Initializes component with default values for update interval (1 second), window name ("Window 1"), and channel name ("Channel 1")

~DtGunnerRangeSimLogic()

virtual makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::~DtGunnerRangeSimLogic ( )

overridevirtual

Destructor for DtGunnerRangeSimLogic.

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

virtual bool makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::initialize ( DtPlayerStation * player, DtInitTable & config )

overridevirtual

Initializes the gunner range simulation component.

Parameters

player	Pointer to the player station this component belongs to
config	Configuration table containing range simulation settings

Returns

True if initialization succeeded, false otherwise

Configures the component with the following parameters from the configuration table:

• updateInterval: Time in seconds between range updates (default: 1 second)
• windowName: Name of the window to use for ray casting (default: "Window 1")
• channelName: Name of the channel to use for ray casting (default: "Channel 1")

Also initializes the "range" player attribute to 0.0

Reimplemented from makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

References makVre::DtPlayerComponent::player().

tick()

virtual void makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::tick ( double dt )

overridevirtual

Called every frame to update the range simulation.

Parameters

dt	Delta time since the last frame in seconds

Calls updateRange() each tick to calculate the current range to target

Implements makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

shutdown()

virtual void makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::shutdown ( )

overridevirtual

Shuts down the gunner range simulation component.

Performs any necessary cleanup operations

Reimplemented from makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

type()

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

overridevirtual

Returns the type identifier for this component.

Returns

The type string for DtGunnerRangeSimLogic

Implements makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

updateRange()

virtual void makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::updateRange ( )

protectedvirtual

Computes the range to target at specified time intervals.

Called each tick to determine if it's time to update the range value. When triggered, casts a ray from the observer through the center of the screen and computes the distance to the first intersection. Sets the player attribute "range" with the calculated distance in meters.

Member Data Documentation

std::string makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::myWindowName

protected

Name of the window to use for ray casting.

Defaults to "Window 1" if not specified in configuration

myChannelName

std::string makVre::DtGunnerRangeSimLogic::myChannelName

protected

Name of the channel to use for ray casting.

Defaults to "Channel 1" if not specified in configuration
