Member Function Documentation

virtual bool DtParachuteActuator::init ( )

virtual

to get access to the entity's localStateRepository, which this component will update, and then connect to the controller's ports.

Reimplemented from DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent.

virtual const char* DtParachuteActuator::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

DtFallingFromSkyActuatorType

Reimplemented from DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent.

virtual void DtParachuteActuator::tick ( )

virtual

Calls isFallingApplicable to determine if it should do anything, and if so calls fallFromSky.

Reimplemented from DtFallingFromSkyActuatorComponent.

static DtSimComponent* DtParachuteActuator::creator ( const DtString &  name, DtVrfObject *  owner, DtSimManager *  simManager, DtComponentDescriptor *  desc = 0, DtReaderWriterRegistry *  parentRegistry = 0  )
