Member Function Documentation

◆ getType()

const String& Ogre::EntityFactory::getType ( void ) const

virtual

Get the type of the object to be created.

Implements Ogre::MovableObjectFactory.

◆ destroyInstance()

void Ogre::EntityFactory::destroyInstance ( MovableObject * obj )

virtual

Destroy an instance of the object.

Implements Ogre::MovableObjectFactory.

◆ createInstance()

MovableObject* Ogre::MovableObjectFactory::createInstance	(	const String &	name,
		SceneManager *	manager,
		const NameValuePairList *	params = `0`
	)

inherited

Create a new instance of the object.

Parameters

name	The name of the new object
manager	The SceneManager instance that will be holding the instance once created.
params	Name/value pair list of additional parameters required to construct the object (defined per subtype). Optional.

◆ requestTypeFlags()

virtual bool Ogre::MovableObjectFactory::requestTypeFlags ( void ) const

inlinevirtualinherited

Does this factory require the allocation of a 'type flag', used to selectively include / exclude this type from scene queries?

Remarks: The default implementation here is to return 'false', ie not to request a unique type mask from Root. For objects that never need to be excluded in SceneQuery results, that's fine, since the default implementation of MovableObject::getTypeFlags is to return all ones, hence matching any query type mask. However, if you want the objects created by this factory to be filterable by queries using a broad type, you have to give them a (preferably unique) type mask - and given that you don't know what other MovableObject types are registered, Root will allocate you one.

Reimplemented in Ogre::PortalFactory, and Ogre::AntiPortalFactory.

◆ _notifyTypeFlags()

void Ogre::MovableObjectFactory::_notifyTypeFlags ( uint32 flag )

inlineinherited

Notify this factory of the type mask to apply.

Remarks: This should normally only be called by Root in response to a 'true' result from requestTypeMask. However, you can actually use it yourself if you're careful; for example to assign the same mask to a number of different types of object, should you always wish them to be treated the same in queries.

◆ getTypeFlags()

uint32 Ogre::MovableObjectFactory::getTypeFlags ( void ) const

inlineinherited

Gets the type flag for this factory.

Remarks: A type flag is like a query flag, except that it applies to all instances of a certain type of object.
