EvaluateEntity()

void env_glow::EvaluateEntity ( void  )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

IsVisible()

bool env_glow::IsVisible

(

vector

vecPlayer

postdraw()

void env_glow::postdraw ( void  )

virtual

Client: Run after the rendering of 3D world is complete.

2D calls can happen here.

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

predraw()

float env_glow::predraw ( void  )

virtual

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

ReceiveEntity()

void env_glow::ReceiveEntity ( float  flNew, float  flChanged  )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

RendererRestarted()

void env_glow::RendererRestarted ( void  )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

RenderGlow()

void env_glow::RenderGlow	(	vector	forg,
		vector	fsize
	)

RenderNormal()

void env_glow::RenderNormal	(	vector	forg,
		vector	fsize
	)

Respawn()

void env_glow::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 ncRenderableEntity.

SendEntity()

float env_glow::SendEntity ( entity  , float    )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.

SpawnKey()

void env_glow::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 ncIO.

Reimplemented from ncRenderableEntity.
