Detailed Description

QUAKED phys_hinge (.5 .3 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) BREAKCOLL x INACTIVE MASS NOCONNECT

OVERVIEW

Creates a connection between two entities in the form of a hinge.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "attach1" : Entity 1
• "attach2" : Entity 2
• "hingefriction" : Friction in the hinge.
• "hingeaxis" : Axis of the hinge. Technically the position it is aiming at.

INPUTS

• "Break" : Forcefully break the constraint.
• "TurnOn" : Turn
• "TurnOff" : Disables the constraint
• "SetAngularVelocity" : Applies rotation to the hinge motor.

SPAWNFLAGS

• BREAKCOLL (1) : No collision until the connection breaks.
• INACTIVE (4) : Starts inactive.
• MASS (8) : Mass Hack.
• NOCONNECT (16) : Will not connect entities until turned on via Inputs.

TRIVIA

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

Input()

void phys_hinge::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_hinge::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_hinge::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 NSPhysicsConstraint.

Save()

void phys_hinge::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 NSPhysicsConstraint.

SpawnKey()

void phys_hinge::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.
