About this class

Server-Entity: Activation Count Based Trigger.

QUAKED game_counter (0 .5 .8) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) GMCNT_REMOVE GMCNT_RESET

OVERVIEW

This entity counts the number of times it has been triggered and activates its target when it reaches a specified number.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "target" : Target when triggered.
• "master" : Master entity (optional)
• "killtarget" : Target to kill when triggered.
• "health" : Number of times the entity has to be triggered.
• "frags" : Starting value of this game_counter.

SPAWNFLAGS

• GMCNT_REMOVE (1) : Remove permanently once it fired its target.
• GMCNT_RESET (2) : Reset internal counter to starting value once it fired its target.

TRIVIA

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

Public Member Functions
void	game_counter (void)
virtual void	Save (float)
	Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.
virtual void	Restore (string, string)
	Similar to ncIO::SpawnKey() but for save-game fields.
virtual void	Trigger (entity, triggermode_t)
	Called whenever we're legacy triggered by another object or function.
virtual void	Respawn (void)
	Server: Called when the entity first spawns or when game-logic requests the entity to return to its original spawn state.
virtual void	SpawnKey (string, string)
	This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.
nonvirtual int	GetCount (void)
nonvirtual void	SetCount (int)

Respawn()

void game_counter::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 ncPointTrigger.

Restore()

void game_counter::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 ncEntity.

Save()

void game_counter::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 ncEntity.

SetCount()

void game_counter::SetCount

(

int

value

)

SpawnKey()

void game_counter::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 ncEntity.

Trigger()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from ncTrigger.
