U4DEngine::U4DGameObject class

The U4DGameObject class represents all characters in a game.

Base classes

class U4DDynamicModel: The U4DDynamicModel class represents a 3D dynamic model entity.

auto operator=(const U4DGameObject& value) -> U4DGameObject&: Copy constructor.
void update(double dt) virtual: Method which updates the state of the game character.
auto getBoneRestPose(std::string uBoneName, U4DMatrix4n& uBoneRestPoseMatrix) -> bool: returns the rest pose of the bone. Note, an armature must be present
auto getBoneAnimationPose(std::string uBoneName, U4DAnimation* uAnimation, U4DMatrix4n& uBoneAnimationPoseMatrix) -> bool: returns the animation pose of the bone. Note, an armature must be present and an animation must currently be playing.
auto loadModel(const char* uModelName) -> bool: Method which loads Digital Asset data into the game character. Note, the mesh asset binary data must be loaded before calling this method.
auto loadAnimationToModel(U4DAnimation* uAnimation, const char* uAnimationName) -> bool: Method which loads Animation data into the game character. Note, the animation asset binary data must be loaded before calling this method.

Method which updates the state of the game character.

Parameters
dt	Time-step value

returns the rest pose of the bone. Note, an armature must be present

Parameters
uBoneName	name of the bone
uBoneRestPoseMatrix	bone rest pose matrix
Returns	returns true if the rootbone rest pose exists. The uBoneRestPoseMatrix will contain the bone rest pose

returns the animation pose of the bone. Note, an armature must be present and an animation must currently be playing.

Parameters
uBoneName	name of the bone
uAnimation	current animation being played
uBoneAnimationPoseMatrix	bone animation pose matrix
Returns	returns true along with the animation pose space of the bone. The uBoneAnimationPoseMatrix will contain the animation pose matrix.

Method which loads Digital Asset data into the game character. Note, the mesh asset binary data must be loaded before calling this method.

Parameters
uModelName	Name of the model in the Digital Asset File
Returns	Returns true if the digital asset data was successfully loaded

Method which loads Animation data into the game character. Note, the animation asset binary data must be loaded before calling this method.

Parameters
uAnimation	Pointer to the animation
uAnimationName	Name of the animation
Returns	Returns true if the animation was successfully loaded
