makVre::DtSlewToCueControl Class Reference

Detailed Description

DtSlewToCueControl provides the ability to send slew-to-cue commands to a specified weapon system, directing it to orient toward the player's current view direction. It requires a DtWeaponPoseUpdater component to obtain the current weapon position and orientation data. The component supports rate-limited updates and angle thresholds to optimize network traffic when sending cue commands.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DtSlewToCueControl()

makVre::DtSlewToCueControl::DtSlewToCueControl

(

)

Constructor for DtSlewToCueControl.

Initializes the component with default settings for slew control

~DtSlewToCueControl()

virtual makVre::DtSlewToCueControl::~DtSlewToCueControl ( )

overridevirtual

Virtual destructor for DtSlewToCueControl.

Member Function Documentation

initialize()

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

overridevirtual

Initializes the slew-to-cue control component.

Parameters

player	Pointer to the player station this component belongs to
config	Configuration table containing slew control settings

Returns

True if initialization succeeded, false otherwise

Reads configuration settings for the weapon system to slew, update rate, update delta angle, and sets up input bindings for activation

Reimplemented from makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

References makVre::DtPlayerComponent::player().

postInitialize()

virtual bool makVre::DtSlewToCueControl::postInitialize ( )

overridevirtual

Performs post-initialization after all components are initialized.

Returns

True if post-initialization succeeded, false otherwise

Verifies the presence of weaponLocation and weaponOrientation attributes and sets up the attribute change callback for orientation updates

Reimplemented from makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

tick()

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

overridevirtual

Called every frame to update the slew control state.

Parameters

dt	Delta time since the last frame in seconds

When slewing is active, manages update timing and sends slew-to-cue messages based on the configured update rate and angle thresholds

Implements makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

shutdown()

virtual void makVre::DtSlewToCueControl::shutdown ( )

overridevirtual

Shuts down the slew-to-cue control component.

Removes attribute change callbacks, deactivates slewing if active, and performs base class shutdown operations

Reimplemented from makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

type()

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

overridevirtual

Returns the type identifier for this component.

Returns

The type string for DtSlewToCueControl

Implements makVre::DtPlayerComponent.

activateSlewToCue()

virtual void makVre::DtSlewToCueControl::activateSlewToCue ( double val )

virtual

Input handler for activating/deactivating slew-to-cue.

Parameters

val	Input value (1.0 for activation, 0.0 for deactivation)

Activates slew-to-cue when input is pressed and deactivates it when released, sending appropriate messages to the weapon system

weaponOrientationAttributeUpdated()

virtual void makVre::DtSlewToCueControl::weaponOrientationAttributeUpdated ( DtTaitBryan ori )

protectedvirtual

Callback for weapon orientation attribute changes.

Parameters

ori	New orientation value

Determines if the orientation change exceeds the configured delta angle threshold and sets the update needed flag accordingly
