Member Function Documentation

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::AddAnimCycle	(	int	idx,
		float	weight,
		float	delay
	)			[pure virtual]

Uses the specified index directly to add the anim cycle.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::AddAnimCycle	(	const char *	name,
		float	weight,
		float	delay
	)			[pure virtual]

This adds the specified animation to the ones already being blended by cal3d.

The weight value is dependent on other weights used, and is only relative. The delay is the period in seconds over which the blended weight will be interpolated from 0 to "weight" value. A cal3d anim cycle, by definition, is a looping animation (see SetAnimAction for non-looping anims).

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::AttachCoreMesh	(	int	mesh_id,
		iMaterialWrapper *	iMatWrap = 0
	)			[pure virtual]

This attaches a mesh with the specified calCoreModel id (as returned by iSpriteCal3DFactoryState::FindMeshName() to the instance of the model.

It is expected this function is only called by the mesh object itself under normal circumstances. Callers should normally refer to meshes by name to prevent behavior changes when xml order is updated. iMatWrap is the iMaterialWrapper to be used in rendering.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::AttachCoreMesh

(

const char *

meshname

)

[pure virtual]

This attaches a mesh with the specified name (from xml) to the instance of the model.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::BlendMorphTarget	(	int	morph_animation_id,
		float	weight,
		float	delay
	)			[pure virtual]

Blends the morph target.

Parameters:

	morph_animation_id	The id of the morph animation we want to blend.
	weight	The weight of the morph target.
	delay	The delay untill the full weight is reached.

Returns:

False if something went wrong.

virtual void iSpriteCal3DState::ClearAllAnims

(

)

[pure virtual]

This resets all currently blended animations and stops the sprite.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::ClearAnimCycle	(	const char *	name,
		float	delay
	)			[pure virtual]

This removes the named animation from the current blend set over the period of time specifed by "delay" parm in seconds.

Returns true if the named animation was found; else false.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::ClearAnimCycle	(	int	idx,
		float	delay
	)			[pure virtual]

This removes the animation at index `idx' from the current blend set over the period of time specifed by "delay" parm in seconds.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::ClearMorphTarget	(	int	morph_animation_id,
		float	delay
	)			[pure virtual]

Clears the morph target.

Parameters:

	morph_animation_id	The id of the morph animation we want to clear.
	delay	The delay untill the morph target is cleared.

Returns:

False if something went wrong.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::DetachCoreMesh

(

int

mesh_id

)

[pure virtual]

This detaches a mesh with the specified calCoreModel id to the instance of the model.

It is expected this function is only called by the mesh object itself under normal circumstances. Callers should normally refer to meshes by name to prevent behavior changes when xml order is updated.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::DetachCoreMesh

(

const char *

meshname

)

[pure virtual]

This detaches a mesh with the specified name (from xml) to the instance of the model.

Remarks:

Note that changes made to the mesh's shader variable context will get lost.

virtual int iSpriteCal3DState::FindAnim

(

const char *

name

)

[pure virtual]

Find the index of the named animation. Returns -1 if not found.

virtual iSpriteCal3DSocket* iSpriteCal3DState::FindSocket

(

const char *

name

)

const [pure virtual]

find a named socket into the sprite.

virtual iSpriteCal3DSocket* iSpriteCal3DState::FindSocket

const [pure virtual]

find a socked based on the sprite attached to it.

virtual size_t iSpriteCal3DState::GetActiveAnimCount

(

)

[pure virtual]

This should be used to allocate the buffer required by GetActiveAnims below.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::GetActiveAnims	(	csSpriteCal3DActiveAnim *	buffer,
		size_t	max_length
	)			[pure virtual]

Fills the supplied buffer with the information to reconstruct the exact animation mix currently playing in the model.

It does NOT include any non-repeating actions. Those must be handled separately, due to the timing issues.

Parameters:

	buffer	Buffer receiving information about active animations.

Returns:

Whether the buffer was successfully filled.

virtual float iSpriteCal3DState::GetAnimationDuration

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::SetAnimAction	(	int	idx,
		float	delayIn,
		float	delayOut
	)			[pure virtual]

This adds a non-looping animation to the blend set for the cal3d Mixer.

This animation will play one time overlaid on top of the other currently active animations. delayIn and delayOut allow you to fade in and fade out the action for smoothness of response.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::SetAnimAction	(	const char *	name,
		float	delayIn,
		float	delayOut
	)			[pure virtual]

This adds a non-looping animation to the blend set for the cal3d Mixer.

	)			[pure virtual]

This clears the active anims for this sprite and sets it to use only the specified anim, where the anim is specified by name.

virtual void iSpriteCal3DState::SetAnimTimeUpdateHandler

(

iAnimTimeUpdateHandler *

)

[pure virtual]

This gives you ability to update the internal Cal3d model directly rather than relying upon the default behavior which merely invokes CalModel::update().

You may need to do this, for example, when you want to move Cal3d skeleton from your own code (to implement rag-doll physics, for instance).

virtual void iSpriteCal3DState::SetDefaultIdleAnim

(

const char *

name

)

[pure virtual]

This function sets the name to use when SetVelocity(0) is called.

virtual void iSpriteCal3DState::SetLOD

(

float

lod

)

[pure virtual]

This function sets the Level of Detail used by the sprite.

This is used to reduce the polygon count and simplify the scene for the renderer.

virtual bool iSpriteCal3DState::SetMaterial	(	const char *	mesh_name,
		iMaterialWrapper *	mat
	)			[pure virtual]

Change the material on a named submesh. Returns true if successful.

This function searches all actions specified as type TRAVEL for actions with a base velocity matching "vel", and blends them into a travel action.

If no animation is found with a base animation that exactly matches "vel" It selects animations with an appropriate velocity range and blends them to create the travel animation. The calling program is still responsible for actually moving the sprite.
