Detailed Description

This is the interface to the Portal objects.

Polygons that are really `openings' to different areas have a portal associated with them. The portal object defines where the opening leads, how exactly the geometry behind portal is to be handled and so on.

Main creators of instances implementing this interface:

• iPortalContainer::CreatePortal()
• iEngine::CreatePortal()

Main ways to get pointers to this interface:

• iPortalContainer::GetPortal()

Main users of this interface:

• iEngine

Member Function Documentation

virtual void iPortal::CheckFrustum	(	iFrustumView *	lview,
		const csReversibleTransform &	t,
		int	alpha
	)			[pure virtual]

Check frustum visibility of all polygons reachable through this portal.

Alpha is the alpha value you'd like to use to pass through this portal (0 is no completely transparent, 100 is complete opaque). 't' is the transform from object to world (this2other).

virtual bool iPortal::CompleteSector

(

iBase *

context

)

[pure virtual]

Check if the destination sector is 0 and if so call the callback.

This function returns false if the portal should not be traversed.

[pure virtual]

Hard transform the warp matrix.

virtual iMeshWrapper* iPortal::HitBeamPortals	(	const csReversibleTransform &	t,

		const csVector3 &	end,
		csVector3 &	isect,
		int *	polygon_idx,
		iSector **	final_sector = 0
	)			[pure virtual]

Follow a beam through this portal and return the mesh and polygon index that it hits with (0 incase no hit).

This function properly acounts for space warping portals and also checks for infinite recursion (does not allow traversing the same sector more than five times). Returns the intersection point with the polygon in 'isect'. The given transform 't' is used to transform the warping matrix in the portal from object to world space (this==object, other==world).

virtual void iPortal::ObjectToWorld	(	const csReversibleTransform &	t,
		csReversibleTransform &	warp_wor

The transform 't' is object to world (this==object, other==world).

virtual bool iPortal::PointOnPolygon

const csVector3 &

point

)

[pure virtual]

Test if a point is on the polygon represented by this portal.

This test happens in world space.

Set the filter texture.

virtual void iPortal::SetMaximumSectorVisit

(

int

msv

)

[pure virtual]

Set the number of times that this portal will allow for watching the same portal.

By default this is 5 which means that in one recursion level this portal will visit every sector at maximum 5 times.

const csPlane3 &

plane

)

[pure virtual]

Set warping transformation to mirror around the given plane.

virtual void iPortal::SetMissingSectorCallback

(

iPortalCallback *

cb

)

[pure virtual]

Set the missing sector callback.

This will call IncRef() on the callback So make sure you call DecRef() to release your own reference. Note that as soon as one of these callbacks creates the missing sector, the loop to call these callbacks will stop.

virtual void iPortal::SetName

(

const char *

name

)

[pure virtual]

Set the name of this portal.

virtual void iPortal::SetPortalCallback

(

iPortalCallback *

cb

)

[pure virtual]

Set the portal callback.

This will call IncRef() on the callback So make sure you call DecRef() to release your own reference. Note that ALL portal callbacks have to return true before the portal is traversed.

virtual void iPortal::SetSector

(

iSector *

s

)

[pure virtual]

Set the sector that this portal points too.

To avoid circular references, the sector is not IncRef'ed!

virtual void iPortal::SetWarp

(

const csTransform &

t

)

[pure virtual]

Set the warping transformation for this portal in object space and world space.

virtual void iPortal::SetWarp	(	const csMatrix3 &	m_w,
		const csVector3 &	v_w_before,

	)			[pure virtual]

		const csVector3 &	pos
	)			const [pure virtual]

Warp a position in world space given a object space to world space transform (this==object, other==world).

virtual void iPortal::WarpSpace	(	const csReversibleTransform &	warp_wor,
		csReversibleTransform &	t,
		bool &	mirror
	)			const [pure virtual]

Warp space using the given world->camera transformation.

This function modifies the given camera transformation to reflect the warping change.

'warp_wor' is the warp transformation in world space. 't' is the transformation from world to camera space.
'mirror' is true if the camera transformation transforms all polygons so that the vertices are ordered anti-clockwise. 'mirror' will be modified by warp_space if needed.
