Member Function Documentation

EvaluateEntity()

void env_cascade_light::EvaluateEntity ( void  )

virtual

Run each tic after physics are run to determine if we need to send updates over the network.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Input()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

LightChanged()

nonvirtual void env_cascade_light::LightChanged

(

float

)

OnRemoveEntity()

virtual void env_cascade_light::OnRemoveEntity ( void  )

virtual

Handles what happens before the entity gets removed from the client game.

Reimplemented from NSIO.

ReceiveEntity()

virtual void env_cascade_light::ReceiveEntity ( float  flNew, float  flChanged  )

virtual

Client: Handles network updates from the server for the associated entity.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

RendererRestarted()

virtual void env_cascade_light::RendererRestarted ( void  )

virtual

Client: Called when video resources need to be allocated or reloaded for the entity.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Respawn()

void env_cascade_light::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 NSPointTrigger.

Restore()

void env_cascade_light::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 NSPointTrigger.

Save()

void env_cascade_light::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 NSPointTrigger.

SendEntity()

float env_cascade_light::SendEntity ( entity  , float    )

virtual

Called by the engine whenever we need to send a client an update about this entity.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

SpawnKey()

void env_cascade_light::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 NSPointTrigger.

Trigger()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSTrigger.
