• "startdark" : Starts the level with a fade in similar to using an env_fade, which lasts for nine seconds.
• "hdr_iris_minvalue" : Minimum HDR brightness adjustment. Default is "0.0".
• "hdr_iris_maxvalue" : Maximum HDR brightness adjustment. Default is "2.0".
• "hdr_iris_multiplier" : HDR effect multiplier. Default is "1.0".

Member Function Documentation

Restore()

void worldspawn::Restore ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

Similar to NSIO::SpawnKey but for save-game fields.

Whatever you write into file handles within your NSIO::Save() method needs to be read back in here.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Save()

void worldspawn::Save ( float  handle )

virtual

Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.

Within you want to use the NSIO::SaveFloat() etc. methods to write the internal member attributes to the specified file handle.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Spawned()

void worldspawn::Spawned ( void  )

virtual

Called when the entity is fulled initialized.

Any spawn key/value info pairs have already been dealt with. So now we can make full decisions on the entity. Always make sure to call super::Spawned(); inside your method when overriding.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

SpawnKey()

void worldspawn::SpawnKey ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.

You can easily convert the strValue parameter using the ReadFloat etc. methods that are part of NSIO.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.
