Detailed Description

Server-Entity: Automatic Elevator.

QUAKED func_plat (0 .5 .8) ? FNCPLAT_TRIGGER

OVERVIEW

It's a simple elevator. It goes down... and back up.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "speed" : Speed of the lift in units per second
• "height" : Number of units the lift is supposed to move down

SPAWNFLAGS

• FNCPLAT_TRIGGER (1) : Has to be triggered to move.

NOTES

By default, touching the platform near its end/start point results in the platform to be called up/down.

TRIVIA

This entity was introduced in Quake (1996).

Member Function Documentation

Input()

void func_plat::Input ( entity  eAct, string  strInput, string  strData  )

virtual

Called when we are being prompted by another object/function with an input message.

Reimplemented from NSSurfacePropEntity.

MoverFinishesMoving()

void func_plat::MoverFinishesMoving ( void  )

virtual

Overridable: Called when the mover completes its movement to a destination.

Reimplemented from NSMoverEntity.

Reimplemented in func_trackchange.

MoverStartsMoving()

void func_plat::MoverStartsMoving ( void  )

virtual

Overridable: Called when the mover starts moving from its position to another.

Reimplemented from NSMoverEntity.

Reimplemented in func_trackchange.

PlatformReturn()

void func_plat::PlatformReturn ( void  )

virtual

Reimplemented in func_platrot.

Respawn()

void func_plat::Respawn ( void  )

virtual

Server: Called when the entity first spawns or when game-logic requests the entity to return to its original spawn state.

Reimplemented from NSSurfacePropEntity.

Reimplemented in func_platrot.

Restore()

void func_plat::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 NSMoverEntity.

Reimplemented in func_platrot, and func_trackchange.

Save()

void func_plat::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 NSMoverEntity.

Reimplemented in func_platrot, and func_trackchange.

Spawned()

void func_plat::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 NSSurfacePropEntity.

Reimplemented in func_trackchange.

SpawnKey()

void func_plat::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 NSMoverEntity.

Reimplemented in func_platrot, and func_trackchange.

Trigger()

void func_plat::Trigger ( entity  act, triggermode_t  state  )

virtual

Called whenever we're legacy triggered by another object or function.

Reimplemented from NSTrigger.

Reimplemented in func_platrot.
