Detailed Description

QUAKED speaker (1 0 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8)

OVERVIEW

Creates a public announcement system that randomly plays announcements from the sentences.txt file.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "preset" : Preset sentence group.
• "message" : Sentence group name (used when preset is 0)
• "health" : Message volume (value from 0-10)

NOTES

Valid values for 'preset":

• 0 = Use Sentence group name
• 1 = C1A0_
• 2 = C1A1_
• 3 = C1A2_
• 4 = C1A3_
• 5 = C1A4_
• 6 = C2A1_
• 7 = C2A2_
• 8 = C2A3_
• 9 = C2A4_
• 10 = C2A5_
• 11 = C3A1_
• 12 = C3A2_

TRIVIA

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

Member Function Documentation

Announce()

void speaker::Announce

void

EvaluateEntity()

void speaker::EvaluateEntity ( void  )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSMonster.

ReceiveEntity()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

Respawn()

void speaker::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 NSTalkMonster.

Restore()

void speaker::Restore ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

Similar to ::SpawnKey but for save-game fields.

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

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

Save()

void speaker::Save ( float  handle )

virtual

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

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

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

SendEntity()

float speaker::SendEntity ( entity  , float    )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSTalkMonster.

Spawned()

void speaker::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 NSSquadMonster.

SpawnKey()

void speaker::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 NSTalkMonster.

Trigger()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from NSMonster.
