Detailed Description

DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent provides a simple, kinematics-based model for air motion based on throttle, stick, and pedal inputs.

End User Description: DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent is based on the original DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent, but instead of stick and pedal control values causing changes in rotational acceleration, in this simplified model they effect changes in rotational velocity instead. So 0 x/y stick and 0 pedal will result in no rotation of the airframe.

Uses Descriptor Type: DtComponentDescriptor

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent::init

(

)

[virtual]

to get access to the entity's localStateRepository, which this component will update, and then connect to the controller's ports.

Reimplemented from DtActuatorComponent.

virtual DtString DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent::type

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns a string identifies the class type of component.

Type values are defined in compTypes.h. DtSimComponent creation functions are registered with the DtSimComponentFactory using the type values as the key.

Returns:

DtFallingFromSkyActuatorType

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual void DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent::tick

(

)

[virtual]

Calls either doFlying or doTaxiing, based on a onGround() call to myFallingFromSkyEntityState.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

		DtVrfObject *	owner,
		DtSimManager *	simManager,
		DtComponentDescriptor *	desc = 0,
		DtReaderWriterRegistry *	parentRegistry = 0
	)		[static]

(const DtString&,DtVrfObject*,DtSimManager*,

Parameters:

name	Reader writer name of this component.
owner	The DtVrfObject that owns this component
simManager	The simulation manager (provides access to terrain, message interface, simulation clock).
desc	The component descriptor used to initialize this component.
parentRegistry	Pointer to the parent reader writer registry (the containing object that reads/writes this object).

(const DtString&,DtVrfObject*,DtSimManager*, DtComponentDescriptor*,DtReaderWriterRegistry* parentRegistry)

Returns:

New instance of this class.

virtual void DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent::calculateOrientation	(	const DtDcm &	oldLocalOrientation,
		const DtVector &	newBodyRotationRates,

	)		[protected, virtual]

Uses current local orientation, rotationRates in SR, and dT.

Results placed in object pointed to by orientation argument.

virtual void DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent::fallFromSky

(

)

[protected, virtual]

Causes the entity to fall from the sky.

Takes into account drag coeffiecent from descripto
