Member Function Documentation

size_t psEffect::AddAnchor ( psEffectAnchor * anchor )

Adds an effect anchor to this effect.

Parameters

anchor a valid effect anchor.

Returns: the index of the effect anchor; Can be accessed with GetAnchor(index)

psEffect* psEffect::Clone ( ) const

Clones the effect.

psEffectAnchor* psEffect::CreateAnchor ( const csString & type )

Creates an effect anchor given a type string.

Parameters

type	a string identifying the type of the anchor. Possible types are: basic spline socket

Returns: the effect anchor if successfull, 0 otherwise.

psEffectAnchor* psEffect::FindAnchor ( const csString & anchorName ) const

Finds an effect anchor of the given name.

Parameters

anchorName the name of the anchor to find

Returns: the anchor if it's found, 0 otherwise

psEffectObj* psEffect::FindObj ( const csString & objName ) const

Finds an effect obj of the given name.

Parameters

objName the name of the obj to find

Returns: the obj if it's found, 0 otherwise

psEffectAnchor* psEffect::GetAnchor ( size_t idx ) const

Returns the effect anchor at the given index.

Parameters

idx	the index of the anchor to grab

Returns: the effect anchor at the given index

size_t psEffect::GetAnchorCount ( ) const

Returns the number of effect anchors in this effect.

Returns: the effect anchor count

float psEffect::GetAnimLength ( ) const

Returns the animation length of the effect.

Returns: the animation length (max anim length of effect objs)

int psEffect::GetKillTime ( ) const

Returns the time after which this effect will be killed.

psEffectObjTextable* psEffect::GetMainTextObj ( ) const

Todo:: comment this

const csString& psEffect::GetName ( ) const

Gets the name of the effect.

Returns: the name of the effect

psEffectObj* psEffect::GetObj ( size_t idx ) const

Returns the effect obj at the given index.

Parameters

idx	the index of the obj to grab

Returns: the effect obj at the given index

size_t psEffect::GetObjCount ( ) const

Returns the number of effect objs in this effect.

Returns: the effect obj count

unsigned int psEffect::GetUniqueID ( ) const

Returns the uniqueID of this effect.

Returns: the uniqueID of the effect

void psEffect::Hide ( )

Hides the effect.

bool psEffect::IsVisible ( )

Returns visibility value.

bool psEffect::Load	(	iDocumentNode *	node,
		iView *	parentView,
		psEffect2DRenderer *	renderer2d,
		iLoaderContext *	ldr_context
	)

Loads the effect from an xml node.

Parameters

node	an xml node containing the effect, must be valid.
parentView	the CS viewport that views the effect.
renderer2d	the 2D renderer.
ldr_context	the current loader context.

Returns: true on success, false otherwise.

unsigned int psEffect::Render	(	iSectorList *	sectors,
		const csVector3 &	offset,
		iMeshWrapper *	attachPos,
		iMeshWrapper *	attachTarget,
		const csVector3 &	up,
		const unsigned int	uniqueIDOverride = `0`,
		bool	rotateWithMesh = `false`
	)

Renders the effect.

Parameters

sectors	the starting sectors of the effect
offset	the offset of the position of the effect
attachPos	the object to attach the effect to, 0 for 0,0,0
attachTarget	the target of the effect
up	the base up vector of the effect
uniqueIDOverride	overrides the unique ID of the effect (for things like group effects)
rotateWithMesh	Should the effect rotate with the mesh.

Returns: 0 on failure, a unique ID on success

unsigned int psEffect::Render	(	iSector *	sector,
		const csVector3 &	offset,
		iMeshWrapper *	attachPos,
		iMeshWrapper *	attachTarget,
		const csVector3 &	up,
		const unsigned int	uniqueIDOverride = `0`
	)

Renders the effect.

Parameters

sector	the starting sector of the effect
offset	the offset of the position of the effect
attachPos	the object to attoch the effect to, 0 for 0,0,0
attachTarget	the target of the effect, 0 for
up	the base up vector of the effect
uniqueIDOverride	overrides the unique ID of the effect (for things like group effects)

Returns: 0 on failure, a unique ID on success

bool psEffect::SetFrameParamScalings ( const float * scale )

Set the scalings for each frame parameter.

void psEffect::SetKillTime ( const int newKillTime )

Sets the time after which this effect will be killed.

Parameters

newKillTime new time in ms

Note: the actual kill time may still vary due to fixed times in effects

void psEffect::SetScaling	(	float	scale,
		float	aspect
	)

Some effects use these scaling parameters to scale the object.

void psEffect::Show ( )

Shows the effect.

bool psEffect::Update ( csTicks elapsed )

Updates the spell effect – called every frame.

Parameters

elapsed the ticks elapsed since last update

Returns: false if the obj is useless and can be removed
