		size_t	paramIndex,
		Real	timeFactor = 1.0f
	)

Creates a controller for passing a frame time value through to a vertex / fragment program parameter.

Remarks

The destination parameter is expected to be a float, and the '.x' attribute will be populated with the appropriately scaled time value.

Parameters

params	The parameters to update.
paramIndex	The index of the parameter to update; if you want a named parameter, then retrieve the index beforehand using GpuProgramParameters::getParamIndex.
timeFactor	The factor by which to adjust the time elapsed by before passing it to the program.

createTextureAnimator()

Controller< Real > * Ogre::ControllerManager::createTextureAnimator	(	TextureUnitState *	layer,
		Real	sequenceTime
	)

Creates a texture layer animator controller.

Remarks

This helper method creates the Controller, ControllerValue and ControllerFunction classes required to animate a texture.

Parameters

layer	TextureUnitState object to animate
sequenceTime	The amount of time in seconds it will take to loop through all the frames.

createTextureRotater()

Controller< Real > * Ogre::ControllerManager::createTextureRotater	(	TextureUnitState *	layer,
		Real	speed
	)

Creates a basic time-based texture coordinate modifier designed for creating rotating textures.

Returns

This simple method allows you to easily create constant-speed rotating textures. If you want more control, look up the ControllerManager::createTextureWaveTransformer for more complex wave-based scrollers / stretchers / rotators.

Parameters

layer	The texture layer to rotate.
speed	Speed of rotation, in complete anticlockwise revolutions per second.

createTextureUScroller()

Controller< Real > * Ogre::ControllerManager::createTextureUScroller	(	TextureUnitState *	layer,
		Real	uSpeed
	)

Creates a basic time-based texture u coordinate modifier designed for creating scrolling textures.

Remarks

This simple method allows you to easily create constant-speed u scrolling textures. If you want more control, look up the ControllerManager::createTextureWaveTransformer for more complex wave-based scrollers / stretchers / rotators.

Parameters

layer	The texture layer to animate.
uSpeed	Speed of horizontal (u-coord) scroll, in complete wraps per second.

createTextureUVScroller()

		Real	speed
	)

Creates a basic time-based texture uv coordinate modifier designed for creating scrolling textures.

Remarks

This simple method allows you to easily create constant-speed uv scrolling textures. If you want to specify different speed values for horizontal and vertical scroll, use the specific methods ControllerManager::createTextureUScroller and ControllerManager::createTextureVScroller. If you want more control, look up the ControllerManager::createTextureWaveTransformer for more complex wave-based scrollers / stretchers / rotators.

frequency	The speed of the wave in cycles per second.
phase	The offset of the start of the wave, e.g. 0.5 to start half-way through the wave.
amplitude	Scales the output so that instead of lying within 0..1 it lies within 0..1*amplitude for exaggerated effects.

destroyController()

void Ogre::ControllerManager::destroyController

(

Controller< Real > *

controller

)

Removes & destroys the controller passed in as a pointer.

getElapsedTime()

Real Ogre::ControllerManager::getElapsedTime

(

void

)

const

Return the elapsed time.

Remarks

See setElapsedTime for full information on the meaning of this value.

getFrameDelay()

Real Ogre::ControllerManager::getFrameDelay

(

void

)

const

Gets the constant that is added to time lapsed between each frame.

Remarks

See setFrameDelay for full information on the meaning of this value.

getFrameTimeSource()

const ControllerValueRealPtr & Ogre::ControllerManager::getFrameTimeSource

(

void

)

const

Returns a ControllerValue which provides the time since the last frame as a control value source.

Remarks

A common source value to use to feed into a controller is the time since the last frame. This method returns a pointer to a common source value which provides this information.

Remember the value will only be up to date after the RenderSystem::beginFrame method is called.

RenderSystem::beginFrame

getPassthroughControllerFunction()

const ControllerFunctionRealPtr & Ogre::ControllerManager::getPassthroughControllerFunction

(

void

)

const

Retrieve a simple passthrough controller function.

getSingleton()

static ControllerManager & Ogre::ControllerManager::getSingleton ( void  )

static

Override standard Singleton retrieval.

Remarks

Why do we do this? Well, it's because the Singleton implementation is in a .h file, which means it gets compiled into anybody who includes it. This is needed for the Singleton template to work, but we actually only want it compiled into the implementation of the class based on the Singleton, not all of them. If we don't change this, we get link errors when trying to use the Singleton-based class from an outside dll.

This method just delegates to the template version anyway, but the implementation stays in this single compilation unit, preventing link errors.

getSingletonPtr()

static ControllerManager * Ogre::ControllerManager::getSingletonPtr ( void  )

static

Override standard Singleton retrieval.

getTimeFactor()

Real Ogre::ControllerManager::getTimeFactor

setElapsedTime()

void Ogre::ControllerManager::setElapsedTime

(

Real

elapsedTime

)

Set the elapsed time.

Remarks

Normally elapsed time accumulated all frames time (which speed relative to time factor) since the rendering loop started. This method allows your to change that to special time, so some elapsed-time-based globally effect is repeatable.

Parameters

elapsedTime

The new elapsed time.

setFrameDelay()

void Ogre::ControllerManager::setFrameDelay

(

Real

fd

)

Sets a constant frame rate.

Remarks

This function is useful when rendering a sequence to files that should create a film clip with constant frame rate. It will ensure that scrolling textures and animations move at a constant frame rate.

Parameters

fd	The delay in seconds wanted between each frame (1.0f / 25.0f means a seconds worth of animation is done in 25 frames).

setTimeFactor()

void Ogre::ControllerManager::setTimeFactor

(

Real

tf

)

Set the relative speed to update frame time based controllers.

Remarks

Normally any controllers which use time as an input (FrameTimeController) are updated automatically in line with the real passage of time. This method allows you to change that, so that controllers are told that the time is passing slower or faster than it actually is. Use this to globally speed up / slow down the effect of time-based controllers.

Parameters

tf	The virtual speed of time (1.0 is real time).

updateAllControllers()

void Ogre::ControllerManager::updateAllControllers

(

void

)

Updates all the registered controllers.
