Detailed Description

An abstract base class for objects that require updates.

This object automatically adds itself to a DtTickableManager.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual makVrv::DtTickable::~DtTickable ( )

virtual

Virtual DTOR.

makVrv::DtTickable::DtTickable ( DtTickableManagerInterface *  manager )

protected

CTOR.

Parameters

[in]

manager

is the managing object to update this object; NULL may be passed to create an unticked tickable Do not delete this object explicitly, because the manager now owns it and will delete it on its own

makVrv::DtTickable::DtTickable ( )

protected

Unimplemented default CTOR.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickable::needsUpdate ( DtTime  tNow )

pure virtual

The check function called by DtTickableManager to verify if an update is required.

If this function returns true, the DtTickableManager will then call update().

Parameters

[in]

tNow

is the current time-stamp.

Return values

true	if this object needs to be ticked.
false	otherwise.
