About this class

Server-Entity: Static To Physics Converter.

QUAKED phys_convert (.5 .3 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) ASLEEP DEBRIS

OVERVIEW

Turns a standard entity into a physically simulated one.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "target" : Entity 1
• "swapmodel" : Model override.
• "massoverride" : Optional new mass.

INPUTS

• "ConvertTarget" : Triggers the conversion.

OUTPUTS

• "OnConvert" : Triggered after successful conversion.

SPAWNFLAGS

• ASLEEP (1) : Don't activate motion when conversion is done.
• DEBRIS (2) : Makes converted entity non-solid.

TRIVIA

This entity was introduced in Half-Life 2 (2004).

Input()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSPhysicsConstraint.

Respawn()

void phys_convert::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 NSEntity.

Restore()

void phys_convert::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 NSPhysicsConstraint.

Save()

void phys_convert::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 NSPhysicsConstraint.

Spawned()

void phys_convert::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 NSPhysicsConstraint.

SpawnKey()

void phys_convert::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 NSPhysicsConstraint.
