ComponentSystem Class

Members


ComponentSystem * get ( ) #

Returns a pointer to C++ Component System. This pointer must be obtained to access functions of C++ Component System:
Source code (C++)
ComponentSystem *cs = ComponentSystem::get();
// access functions of C++ Component System
...

void initialize ( ) #

Performs initialization of C++ Component System, registration of all components and creation of all necessary property files.
Notice
  • This method should me called in the AppSystemLogic::init() method.
  • If a property file for any component does not exist, it will be created automatically.
Source code (C++)
virtual int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
	// initialize ComponentSystem and register all components
	ComponentSystem::get()->initialize();

	/*...*/
	
	return 1;
}

int getNumComponents ( ) #

Returns the total number of components registered in C++ Component System.
Notice
This method is very slow and should not be used often.

Return value

Total number of registered components.

int getNumNodesWithComponents ( ) #

Returns the total number of nodes with components assigned.

Return value

Total number of nodes with components assigned.

template <C class>

void createPropertyFile ( ) #

Creates a property file for a registered component associated with the property with a given name.Parameters of each component are stored in a separate *.prop file. If this property file does not exist, it will be created in the data/ComponentSystem folder with a name obtained by the component's getPropertyName() method.

void createPropertyFile ( const char * name ) #

Creates a property file for a registered component associated with the property with a given name. Parameters of each component are stored in a separate *.prop file. If this property file does not exist, it will be created in the data/ComponentSystem folder.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Name of the property associated with the component.

void createPropertyFiles ( ) #

Creates property files for all registered components. Parameters of each component are stored in a separate *.prop file. If these property files do not exist, they will be created in the data/ComponentSystem folder.

void refreshProperty ( const char * name ) #

Rewrites the *.prop file for the specified property and reloads it in the Property Manager.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Property name.

template <C class>

void refreshProperty ( ) #

Rewrites the property file for the specified component and reloads it in the Property Manager.

template <C class>

void registerComponent ( ) #

Registers a user component derived from the ComponentBase class.
Notice
  • Components must be registered in the AppSystemLogic::init() method.
  • If a property file for the component does not exist, it will be created automatically.
Source code (C++)
virtual int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
	// registering a new user component
	ComponentSystem::get()->registerComponent<MyComponent>();

	/*...*/
	
	return 1;
}

template <C class>

C * addComponent ( const NodePtr & node ) #

Adds the component to the specified node.

NodeDummyPtr node = NodeDummy::create();
node->setName("node_dummy");



ComponentSystem::get()->addComponent<MyComponent>(node->getNode());
// now the node named node_dummy appears in the Editor

Arguments

  • const NodePtr & node - Node, to which the component is to be added.

Return value

Pointer to the new added component, if it was successfully added to the specified node; otherwise nullptr.

template <C class>

C * getComponent ( const NodePtr & node ) #

Returns the first component of the specified type associated with the given node.

Arguments

  • const NodePtr & node - Node, for which the component of the specified type is to be found.

Return value

Pointer to the component if any; otherwise, nullptr.

template <C class>

void getComponents ( const NodePtr & node, Vector<C *> & out_components, int clear_vector ) #

Searches for all components of the specified type down the hierarchy of the specified node and puts them to the given buffer vector.

Arguments

  • const NodePtr & node - Node, for which the components of the specified type are to be found.
  • Vector<C *> & out_components - Buffer vector, to which all found components of the specified type will be added.
  • int clear_vector - Flag indicating whether the buffer vector is to be cleared before adding the found components to it or not. Use 1 to clear the vector, 0 - to append new found components to the end of the vector. The default value is 1.

template <C class>

C * getComponentInChildren ( const NodePtr & node ) #

Returns the first component of the specified type found among all the children of the specified node (including the node itself). This method searches for the component in the following order:
  • node itself
  • node reference
  • node's children
  • children of node's children

Arguments

  • const NodePtr & node - Node, whose hierarchy is to be checked for the specified type of component.

Return value

Pointer to the component if any; otherwise, nullptr.

template <C class>

void getComponentsInChildren ( const NodePtr & node, Vector<C *> & out_components, int clear_vector ) #

Searches for all components of the specified type down the hierarchy of the specified node and puts them to the given buffer vector.

Arguments

  • const NodePtr & node - Node, whose hierarchy is to be checked.
  • Vector<C *> & out_components - Buffer vector, to which all found components of the specified type will be added.
  • int clear_vector - Flag indicating whether the buffer vector is to be cleared before adding the found components to it or not. Use 1 to clear the vector, 0 - to append new found components to the end of the vector. The default value is 1.

template <C class>

C * getComponentInParent ( const NodePtr & node ) #

Returns the first component of the specified type found among all predecessors and posessors of the specified node.

Arguments

void init ( ) #

Engine calls this function on world initialization. Put you code for resources initialization during the world start here. This function is called by the world script's init() function.

void update ( ) #

Engine calls this function before updating each render frame. You can specify here all logic-related functions you want to be called every frame while your application executes. This function is called by the world script's update() function.

void postUpdate ( ) #

Engine calls this function before rendering each render frame. You can correct behavior after the state of the node has been updated. This function is called by the world script's postUpdate() function.

void updatePhysics ( ) #

Engine calls this function before updating each physics frame. This function is used to control physics. The engine calls updatePhysics() with the fixed rate (60 times per second by default) regardless of the fps number. This function is called by the world script's updatePhysics() function.

void shutdown ( ) #

Engine calls this function on world shutdown. Here you can delete resources that were created during world script execution to avoid memory leaks. This function is called by the world script's shutdown() function.

int mkdir ( const char * name ) #

Creates a new directory.

Arguments

  • const char * name - Path for a new directory to be created.

Return value

1 if the directory is created successfully; otherwise, 0.

void setWarningLevel ( int level ) #

Sets the warning level for C++ Component System. Warnings can be very useful when debugging your application, e.g. to investigate Null Reference Exception cases.

Arguments

  • int level - New warning level to be set. One of the following values:
    • WARNING_LEVEL::NONE - warning messages are disabled.
    • WARNING_LEVEL::LOW - warning messages are generated only for serious cases.
    • WARNING_LEVEL::HIGH - warning messages are generated for all cases including potential ones. At this level, for example, all Node/Property/Material parameters, that are empty at startup, will be reported.

int getWarningLevel ( ) #

Returns the current warning level for C++ Component System. Warnings can be very useful when debugging your application, e.g. to investigate Null Reference Exception cases.

Return value

Current warning level. One of the following values:
  • WARNING_LEVEL::NONE - warning messages are disabled.
  • WARNING_LEVEL::LOW - warning messages are generated only for serious cases.
  • WARNING_LEVEL::HIGH - warning messages are generated for all cases including potential ones. At this level, for example, all Node/Property/Material parameters, that are empty at startup, will be reported.
