makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector Class Reference

Detailed Description

DtUpdateVisualsConnector responds to visual model definition changes by recreating and updating DtVrlinkElement objects to reflect the new visual definitions. It handles entities, aggregates, and tactical graphics, ensuring they use the latest visual model definitions from the current simulation model set (SMS).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DtUpdateVisualsConnector()

makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::DtUpdateVisualsConnector

(

)

Default constructor.

Initializes the connector with name "UpdateVisuals"

~DtUpdateVisualsConnector()

virtual makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::~DtUpdateVisualsConnector ( )

overridevirtual

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

install()

virtual void makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::install ( DtPlayerStationApp * app, makVrv::DT_PROTOCOL_NAMESPACE::DtVrlinkConnection * connection )

overridevirtual

Installs the visual update connector with the application and connection.

Parameters

app	Pointer to the player station application
connection	Pointer to the protocol-specific VR-Link connection

Registers message handlers for VisualModelDefinitionsLoadedMessage messages

Reimplemented from makVre::DT_PROTOCOL_NAMESPACE::DtSimEventConnector.

tick()

virtual void makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::tick ( )

overridevirtual

Performs periodic processing of entity reparenting.

Handles re-parenting of embarked entities that were discovered during SMS reload by attempting to re-establish parent-child relationships over several ticks

Reimplemented from makVre::DT_PROTOCOL_NAMESPACE::DtSimEventConnector.

shutdown()

virtual void makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::shutdown ( )

overridevirtual

Shuts down the visual update connector.

Removes message handlers for visual model definition updates

Reimplemented from makVre::DT_PROTOCOL_NAMESPACE::DtSimEventConnector.

handleVisualModelDefinitionsLoaded()

virtual makVre::DtVreMessageResult makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::handleVisualModelDefinitionsLoaded ( makVre::DtVreMessage * msg )

protectedvirtual

Handles visual model definition loaded messages.

Parameters

msg	Pointer to the visual model definitions loaded message

Returns

Message result indicating how the message was handled

Updates all visual DtVrlinkElements (entities, aggregates, tactical graphics) with the latest visual model definitions/mappings. For each element, it disables and re-enables the model sets, updates the element definition, and then re-visualizes the element using the new definitions.

handleSmsLoadComplete()

virtual makVre::DtVreMessageResult makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::handleSmsLoadComplete ( makVre::DtVreMessage * msg )

protectedvirtual

Handles SMS load complete messages.

Parameters

msg	Pointer to the SMS load complete message

Returns

Message result indicating how the message was handled

Sets up the reparenting process after SMS reload by initializing the myTicksToReparent counter and removing the handler since it's only needed once per reload

Member Data Documentation

myEntitiesToReparent

std::map<DtGlobalObjectDesignator, DtGlobalObjectDesignator> makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::myEntitiesToReparent

protected

Map of entities that need to be reparented.

Map of entity global designators to their parent entity global designators Used to track entities that need to be reparented after SMS reload

myTicksToReparent

int makVre::DtUpdateVisualsConnector::myTicksToReparent

protected

Counter for reparenting attempts.

Number of ticks remaining to attempt reparenting of entities When this reaches zero, any remaining entities will have warning messages logged
