func_trackchange Class Reference

About this class

Server-Entity: func_tracktrain Track Controller.

QUAKED func_trackchange (0 .5 .8) ? x x x BOTTOM NOMOVE x X_AXIS Y_AXIS

OVERVIEW

A rotating, moving platform that will transport func_tracktrain entities between two path_track entities.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "height" : Travel altitude in game units.
• "rotation" : Amount of spinning rotation in degrees.
• "train" : Name of the train to be switched.
• "toptrack" : Name of the top track.
• "bottomtrack" : Name of the bottom track.
• "speed" : Movement and rotation speed in game units per second.

SPAWNFLAGS

• BOTTOM (8) : Start at the bottom track.
• NOMOVE (16) : Only rotate, don't move.
• X_AXIS (64) : Rotate on the X-Axis.
• Y_AXIS (128) : Rotate on the Y-Axis.

NOTES

This version of the entity is designed for interactive trains. If you want to use them with automated (trigger controlled) func_tracktrain entities, use func_trackautochange.

TRIVIA

This entity was introduced in Half-Life (1998).

Member Function Documentation

MoverFinishesMoving()

void func_trackchange::MoverFinishesMoving ( void )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from func_plat.

MoverStartsMoving()

void func_trackchange::MoverStartsMoving ( void )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from func_plat.

Restore()

void func_trackchange::Restore ( string keyName, string setValue )

virtual

Similar to ncIO::SpawnKey() but for save-game fields.

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

Reimplemented from func_platrot.

Save()

void func_trackchange::Save ( float handle )

virtual

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

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

Reimplemented from func_platrot.

Spawned()

void func_trackchange::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 func_plat.

SpawnKey()

void func_trackchange::SpawnKey ( string keyName, string setValue )

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 ncIO.

Reimplemented from func_platrot.
