int init ( int version, const char * fom_path, const char * federate_name, const char * federation_execution_name ) #

Initializes the HLA Connector using the given parameters.

Arguments

  • int version - Callback type. One of the following values: RTI13, RTI1516, or RTI1516E.

void nextEventRequestAvailable ( double time ) #

Advances the federate’s logical time to the time-stamp of the next relevant TSO event in the federation. The method is similar to nextEventRequest(), except that a time advance might be granted before all TSO events at the grant time have been delivered to the federate.
