Member Function Documentation

determineVisibility()

void U4DEngine::U4DScene::determineVisibility

(

)

determines if the current entity is within the camera frustum

any 3D model outside of the frustum are not rendered

getGlobalTime()

float U4DEngine::U4DScene::getGlobalTime

(

)

Returns the global time.

Returns

The global time since the game started. Mainly used for the shaders

loadComponents() [1/2]

void U4DEngine::U4DScene::loadComponents ( U4DWorld *  uGameWorld, U4DGameLogicInterface *  uGameLogic  )

finalvirtual

sets the pointer for the world, controller and logic classes

Parameters

uGameWorld	pointer to the world object
uGameLogic	pointer to the game logic interface

loadComponents() [2/2]

void U4DEngine::U4DScene::loadComponents ( U4DWorld *  uGameWorld, U4DWorld *  uLoadingWorld, U4DGameLogicInterface *  uGameLogic  )

finalvirtual

sets the pointer for the world, controller and logic classes and the loading world

Parameters

uGameWorld	pointer to the world object
uLoadingWorld	pointer to the loading world object
uGameLogic	pointer to the game logic interface

render()

void U4DEngine::U4DScene::render ( id< MTLCommandBuffer >  uCommandBuffer )

finalvirtual

Renders the current entity.

Updates the space matrix, any rendering flags, bones and shadows properties. It encodes the pipeline, buffers and issues the draw command

Parameters

uRenderEncoder

Metal encoder object for the current entity

update()

void U4DEngine::U4DScene::update ( float  dt )

finalvirtual

Method in charge of updating the states of each entity.

Parameters

dt	time value
