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).

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool DtAimWeaponController::init ( )

virtual

Calls setRadio()

Reimplemented from DtControllerComponent.

virtual bool DtAimWeaponController::postAddComponentsInit ( )

virtual

Override to call lookupAndCacheProcessSR() (another component creates it - we just look it up and keep a pointer to it).

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual const char* DtAimWeaponController::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. Warning: this function should always return the same pointer and it should be valid forever. This means the data should be static.

Returns

DtAimWeaponControllerType

Implements DtControllerComponent.

virtual void DtAimWeaponController::tick ( )

virtual

This gives the thread of control to the component.

The component is ticked once each simulation from by the component list it's on. This base class tick has no functionality.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

static DtSimComponent* DtAimWeaponController::creator ( const DtString &  name, 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 bool DtAimWeaponController::createPortGroups ( )

protectedvirtual

Overridden to create local port groups.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual bool DtAimWeaponController::createPorts ( )

protectedvirtual

Overridden to create local ports.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual void DtAimWeaponController::lookupAndCacheProcessSR ( )

protectedvirtual

This function looks up a process state repository in the process state repository manager by name, and caches a pointer to it in myProcessState.

The name (if it exists) is given in the component descriptor (DtComponentDescriptor::processStateRepositoryName). If the name does not exist, it uses the appropriate default name defined in procSRTypes.h. Another component is responsible for creating and destroying the process state repository.

const DtAimWeaponController& DtAimWeaponController::operator= ( const DtAimWeaponController &  orig )
