Detailed Description

Class Description: DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.

Derived from DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface, this class provides an interface between an individual local entity (such as a single truck, tank, soldier, etc.) and its network (VR-Link) representation (A DtVrfEntityPublisher).

Examples

• Local Net Interface

)

assignment operator

virtual void DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::updateNet ( )

virtual

Ticks the publisher, then calls base class version.

Reimplemented from DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface.

virtual void DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::updatePublisher ( )

virtual

Override of base class updatePublisher().

Fills in the DtVrfEntityPublisher with values from the local entity state repository. Called by tick().

Implements DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface.

Reimplemented in MyIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.

virtual bool DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::createPublisher ( )

virtual

Override of base class createPublisher().

Creates a DtVrfEntityPublisher. Sets the DtVrfEntityIdentifier to the next available identifier from the exerciseConnection. Sets the myNetworkState member to the state repository of the publisher. Sets the vrfObject's global ID to the entity publisher's global ID. Sets the myPublisherUserSupplied member to false.

Implements DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface.

void DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::destroyPublisher ( )

virtual

Deletes a DtVrfEntityPublisher.

Implements DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface.

virtual bool DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::setEntityPublisher ( DtVrfEntityPublisher *  publisher )

virtual

If the user needs to supply a publisher other than the one created by the network interface, this call call be used.

If the myPublisher pointer is not null and it myPublisherUserSupplied flag is false then the interface will first destroy the current publisher; otherwise a warning is generated and false is returned. The interface's destructor will not destroy a user-supplied publisher - that is the responsibility of the publisher's creator. If you need to change a user-supplied publisher to a different one, first call setPublisher with a value of 0 (Null). This will set the myPublisherUserSupplied flag to false.

virtual void DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::setupNetworkRepository ( )

virtual

Override of base class setupNetworkRepository().

Initializes the DtExtEntityStateRepository created by the DtVrfEntityPublisher (which this class creates).

Implements DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface.

virtual DtVrfEntityPublisher* DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::entityPublisher ( ) const

virtual

Returns a pointer to the DtVrfEntityPublisher created.

virtual DtExtEntityStateRepository* DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::individualNetworkState ( ) const

virtual

Returns a pointer to the DtExtEntityStateRepository created by the DtVrfEntityPublisher.

virtual DtVrfObjectStateRepository* DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::individualLocalState ( ) const

virtual

Returns a pointer to the local state repository from which the network state is updated.

This method checks to make sure the local state repository is indeed a DtSimIndividualLocalStateRepository, and returns 0 if it isn't.

virtual bool DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::isAggregate ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Implements DtSimLocalEntityNetInterface.

virtual DtString DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::type ( ) const

virtual

Returns the type of net interface object.

Strings are defined in netIfTypes.h.

Implements DtSimObjectNetInterface.

Reimplemented in MyIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface.

static DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface* DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::isIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface ( const DtSimObjectNetInterface *  objNetInterface )

static

This function will return the objNetInterface passed in, cast to a DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface*, provided the objNetInterface is indeed an individual local entity network interface.

protectedvirtual

virtual DtVector DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::calculateWorldVelocityFromPosition ( const DtVector &  currentWorldPos, const DtVector &  currentLocalPos, const DtVector &  localVelocityworldVelocity  )

protectedvirtual

If the database is in a projected system, error is introduced in the velocity when converting it to geocentric.

To avoid this problem, use the current geocentric position and then using local velocity create a projected point 1 sec in the future. Convert it to geocentric and subract the 2 to get the geocentric velocity.

virtual void DtSimIndividualLocalEntityNetInterface::updateArtPartsNetState ( )

protectedvirtual

Updates VR-Link art parts list with values from the entity's VR-Forces state repository (specifically, the tree of DtArticulatedPartStateRepositories contained within its state repository).

Called by updatePublisher().
