Detailed Description

A readable, writable type whose name is the name of a component and that has a list of component names and port interfaces to connect to.

Developer Description: DtComponentDescriptor provides all the infrastructure needed to work with the component factory. It has setComponentType() and componentType() members for setting and inspecting the type of component being attached to the entity. The type() member function describes the type of the component descriptor to the component descriptor factory, as found in compDescTypes.h.

Examples using DtComponentDescriptor include

virtual bool DtComponentDescriptor::init ( )

virtual

Base class init does nothing, but will be called by createComponentDescriptor(), allowing derived classes to do memory allocation if necessary.

Reimplemented in DtOccupancyDirectorDescriptor, DtDamageAdjudicationComponentDescriptor, DtSuppressionActuatorDescriptor, and DtFormationControllerDescriptor.

virtual void DtComponentDescriptor::setMinTickPeriod ( DtReal minTickPeriod )

virtual

Minimum tick period for this component in seconds. Set to -1.0 by default (unspecified - tick at rate appropriate for frame mode).

virtual DtReal DtComponentDescriptor::minTickPeriod ( ) const

virtual

virtual void DtComponentDescriptor::setMinTickPeriodVariance ( DtReal minTickPeriodVariance )

Is the component enabled or not.

virtual bool DtComponentDescriptor::isEnabled ( ) const

virtual

virtual void DtComponentDescriptor::setDebugActive ( bool active )

inlinevirtual

Should detailed debug info be printed for this component.

"Detailed" debug info can mean per-tick print info that is too verbose for the usual output, even when limited to the Debug notify level. In this case, it is best to dump data to the back-end console using DtWarn, rather than to the entity console using objectConsoleDebug. Printing to the back-end avoids trying to send volumes of data over the network to the front end.
This flag can be used in a component as follows:
code> if (myDescriptor->debugActive() &&
entity()->objectConsole()->notifyLevel() == DtNlDebug)
{
DtWarn("Stuff to dump this tick\n");
...
/code>
To activate this debug, put (debug-detail True) in any component descriptor (i.e., in a .sysdef file).

virtual bool DtComponentDescriptor::debugActive ( ) const
