Member Function Documentation

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::AddClass

(

csStringID

cls

)

[pure virtual]

Add a class to this entity.

A class is an application defined attribute which indicates to what the entity belongs. It can be something like 'weapon' or 'creature' or whatever the application desires.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::AddMessage	(	csStringID	msgid,
		csHash< csRef< iParameter >, csStringID > &	params
	)			[pure virtual]

Add a message to be sent to the created behaviour.

Note that all messages will be sent after all properties and property classes are created.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::AddParent

(

iCelEntityTemplate *

tpl

)

[pure virtual]

Add a parent template to this one.

When creating an entity from this template the parent templates are applied first in the order that they were added. This is different from Merge() since the parent templates are only used at the time the entities are created so every change that is done to the parent template will still have an effect.

virtual iCelPropertyClassTemplate* iCelEntityTemplate::CreatePropertyClassTemplate

(

)

[pure virtual]

Create a new property class template for this entity.

virtual iCelPropertyClassTemplate* iCelEntityTemplate::FindPropertyClassTemplate	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	tag
	)			[pure virtual]

Find a certain property class template.

virtual const char* iCelEntityTemplate::GetBehaviour

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the behaviour for this template.

virtual const char* iCelEntityTemplate::GetBehaviourLayer

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the layer for this template.

virtual iTemplateCharacteristics* iCelEntityTemplate::GetCharacteristics

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the template characteristics interface for this template.

virtual const csSet<csStringID>& iCelEntityTemplate::GetClasses

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Return the set of classes for this entity.

virtual csRef<iCelParameterIterator> iCelEntityTemplate::GetMessage	(	size_t	idx,
		csStringID &	id
	)			const [pure virtual]

Get a message.

virtual size_t iCelEntityTemplate::GetMessageCount

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the number of messages.

virtual const char* iCelEntityTemplate::GetName

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the name of this template.

Returns:

A pointer to the name of this template.

virtual csPtr<iCelEntityTemplateIterator> iCelEntityTemplate::GetParents

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the parents of this template.

virtual iCelPropertyClassTemplate* iCelEntityTemplate::GetPropertyClassTemplate

(

size_t

idx

)

const [pure virtual]

Get a specific property class template.

virtual size_t iCelEntityTemplate::GetPropertyClassTemplateCount

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the amount of property class templates.

virtual bool iCelEntityTemplate::HasClass

(

csStringID

cls

)

[pure virtual]

Check if this entity belongs to some class.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::Merge

(

iCelEntityTemplate *

tpl

)

[pure virtual]

Merge another template into this one.

This physically merges all information from the other template into this one without leaving any trace that this merge has occured (this contrasts with AddParent() below).

virtual iObject* iCelEntityTemplate::QueryObject

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the iObject for this entity template.

Returns:

A pointer to the iObject for this entity.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::RemoveClass

(

csStringID

cls

)

[pure virtual]

Remove a class from this entity.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::RemoveClasses

(

)

[pure virtual]

Remove all classes.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::RemoveParent

(

iCelEntityTemplate *

tpl

)

[pure virtual]

Remove a parent.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::RemoveParents

(

)

[pure virtual]

Remove all parents.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::RemovePropertyClassTemplate

(

iCelPropertyClassTemplate *

tpl

)

[pure virtual]

Remove a specific property class template.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::RemovePropertyClassTemplate

(

size_t

idx

)

[pure virtual]

Remove a specific property class template.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::SetBehaviour	(	const char *	layer,
		const char *	behaviour
	)			[pure virtual]

Set the behaviour associated with this template.

Parameters:

	layer	is the name of the behaviour layer (optional, can be 0 for default).
	behaviour	is the name of the behaviour.

virtual void iCelEntityTemplate::SetName

(

const char *

n

)

[pure virtual]

Set the name of this template.

Parameters:

n

A pointer to the name to set for this template.
