Member Function Documentation

Respawn()

void multi_manager::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 multi_manager::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 multi_manager::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.

Spawned()

void multi_manager::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 NSEntity.

SpawnKey()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSTrigger.
