makVre::DtVreTurretActuator Class Reference

Detailed Description

DtVreTurretActuator extends the base turret actuator to provide player control awareness. When a player is controlling the entity's turret, this component suppresses its normal tick functionality, allowing the player's inputs to control the turret through other mechanisms (typically a separate player-specific actuator).

This component gracefully switches between AI-controlled behavior (using the base turret actuator functionality) and player-controlled behavior (deferring to player input systems) based on the entity's control state.

Uses Descriptor Type: DtHumanGunActuatorDescriptor

DtVreTurretActuator() [1/3]

makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::DtVreTurretActuator	(	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	Component descriptor with configuration parameters
parentRegistry	Optional parent registry for reader/writer functionality

Creates a new turret actuator component with the specified parameters. Initializes the component to track player control state and manage turret movements.

~DtVreTurretActuator()

virtual makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::~DtVreTurretActuator ( )

overridevirtual

Virtual destructor.

Cleans up resources used by the turret actuator component.

DtVreTurretActuator() [2/3]

makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::DtVreTurretActuator ( )

private

Default constructor (not implemented)

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

DtVreTurretActuator() [3/3]

makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::DtVreTurretActuator ( const DtVreTurretActuator & 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::DtVreTurretActuator::type ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Gets the type identifier for this component.

Returns

String identifying the component type (DtVreTurretActuatorType)

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

References makVre::DtVreTurretActuatorType.

tick()

virtual void makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::tick ( )

overridevirtual

Updates the turret state each simulation frame.

Checks if a player is acting in the gunner role for this entity. If so, the method returns immediately without making changes, allowing player control mechanisms to handle turret movement. Otherwise, it calls the base class tick method to function normally under CGF (Computer Generated Forces) control, updating turret position based on AI commands.

creator()

static DtSimComponent * makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::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 DtVreTurretActuator & makVre::DtVreTurretActuator::operator= ( const DtVreTurretActuator & orig )

private

Assignment operator (not implemented)

Returns

Reference to this object

Assignment operator is private and not implemented to prevent assignment.
