Class: DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface Class Description: DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface
Derived from DtSimEntityNetInterface, DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface provides an interface between a local entity and its network (VR-Link) representation. This is an abstract class whose deriving classes will represent different types of entities, such as individual, aggregate, and eventually, environmental.

copy constructor; NOTE: The publisher is not copied, because VR-Link does not provide a copy constructor (or clone or assignment function) for a publisher.
Therefore, you must call init() on the copy after construction, or call setPublisher() with a user constructed publisher.

assignment operator; see note on copy constructor above.
| virtual bool DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::init | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Override of base class init(), calls createPublisher().
Reimplemented from DtSimObjectNetInterface.
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::onTick | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Checks if VR-Forces-specific data has changed.
If it has, sets the object changed flag.
Implements DtSimObjectNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::tick | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Override base class tick.
This version of tick checks to see if the time to tick has arrived (myNextTickTime <= exerciseClock()-> approximateElapsedRealTime()). If it has, it will then call the base class tick (which in turn calls onTick()), and recalculate the next tick time
Reimplemented from DtSimObjectNetInterface.
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::setMinTickPeriod | ( | double | minTickPeriod | ) | [virtual] |
specifies a minimum tick period (which can also be thought of as
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual double DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::minTickPeriod | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
access the minimum tick period
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::setMinTickPeriodVariance | ( | double | minTickPeriodVariance | ) | [virtual] |
set the variance in the minimum tick time
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual double DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::minTickPeriodVariance | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
access the variance in the minimum tick period
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::setNextTickTime | ( | double | nextTickTime | ) | [virtual] |
The next tick time is normally calculated internally.
setNextTickTime can be used to force a tick (set nextTickTime to exerciseClock()-> approximateElapsedRealTime())
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual double DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::nextTickTime | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
access the next tick time
Reimplemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual double DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::calculateNextTickTime | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
The next tick time is equal to mySimManager->exerciseClock()-> approximateElapsedRealTime() + myMinTickPeriod + a random # between -myMinTickPeriodVariance/2.
and +myMinTickPeriodVariance/2. If the exercise clock is paused, the variance is always set to zero to insure that the extra calls to DtFRand() don't prevent repeatability.
| virtual bool DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::publisherUserSupplied | ( | ) | const [virtual] |
A true return indicates that the publisher currently used by the interface was supplied by the user rather than created by init().
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::updatePublisher | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
This will copy from the local state repository to the specific type of publisher created in deriving classes.
Implemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface, DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface, DtSimPseudoAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface, and MyIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual bool DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::createPublisher | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Called by init() to create a VR-Link publisher, deriving classes create the type of publisher needed for that entity type.
Implemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface, and DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::destroyPublisher | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Called by the destructor (and also by setPublisher() in some cases), deletes a publisher.
Implemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface, and DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::updateNet | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Cause any necessary data to be send to the network.
Called by onTick. Base class implementation causes a VrfData message to be sent if necessary.
Reimplemented in DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface, and DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface.
| virtual void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::setupNetworkRepository | ( | ) | [pure virtual] |
Initializes parts of the network repository created by the publisher This needs to be done after the local state repository has been intialized.
Details depend upon which type of publisher (and therefore network state repository) is actually created.
Implemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface, and DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.
| static bool DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::isVrfGlobalId | ( | const DtGlobalObjectDesignator & | identifier | ) | [static] |
Returns true if given global object Id is a VR-Forces encoded global Id and false if it is not.
Calls down to DtVrfObjectIdGenerator to make the check
| virtual bool DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::isLocal | ( | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
This network interface is for local entities.
Implements DtSimObjectNetInterface.
| virtual bool DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::isAggregate | ( | ) | const [pure virtual] |
Implemented in DtSimAggregateLocalEntityNetInterface, and DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.
| static DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface* DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::isLocalEntityNetInterface | ( | const DtSimObjectNetInterface * | objNetInterface | ) | [static] |
This function will return the objNetInterface passed in, cast to a DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface*, provided the objNetInterface is indeed an local entity network interface.
| static void DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface::setVrfDataTimeThreshold | ( | DtTime | time | ) | [static] |
Sets the time to update the vrf data message.
The message will be sent on this time (default is five seconds) or if the data as seen by remote is different that the current time. If time is set to be -1, it will only be sent if the data is different
