Member Function Documentation

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::update ( DtTime tNow )

virtual

Calls doGroundClamp()

Reimplemented from makVrv::DtSceneObjectUpdater.

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::setEnabled ( bool enabled )

virtual

Set whether this updater is enabled.

A disabled updater will not ground clamp.

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::setMode ( GroundClampingMode mode )

virtual

Set the type of ground clamping to do.

bool makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::isClamping ( ) const

Determine if clamping is enabled, we're close enough, etc.

bool makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::isClampingUp ( ) const

inline

Check to see if the mode supports clamping up.

bool makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::isClampingOrientation ( ) const

inline

Check to see if the mode supports clamping orientation.

bool makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::isClampingPosition ( ) const

inline

Check to see if the mode supports clamping position.

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::setCullCylinderRadiusScale ( float scale )

virtual

Set the scale multiplier used to determine whether or not to cull the target according to its distance from the eye-point.

Calculates a cylinder with radius equal to the target's bounding radius multiplied by the scale factor and infinite length, oriented along the local up vector. If the eye-point is outside of that cylinder, the target will not be ground clamped.

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::setClampAlways ( bool enabled )

virtual

When enabled, this causes clamping every frame (use judiciously)

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::setCheckForCulling ( bool )

virtual

When enabled check for object culling.

virtual void makVrv::DtGroundClampingUpdater::doGroundClamp ( DtTime tNow )

virtual

do the actual clamping.

Called by update() Returns true if the object was ground clamped.

Sets the threshold for ground clamping by sim time.

Any number < 0 will prevent updating based purely on simtime only. Default is 3 seconds. Set time in seconds
