hDecal

typedef int [] hDecal

Функции

AddPointToLandMarkDecal()

proto native bool AddPointToLandMarkDecal	(	hDecal	lmDecal,
		vector	point,
		vector	normal,
		float	alpha )

add new point to decal, internally, new point is added when previous point is in some distance or the angle is more than some threshold

Аргументы

lmDecal	entity to add new landmark point
point	contact point
normal	normal of contact
alpha	translucency in point

Возвращает

true if everything was OK, false if not. In this case, the application MUST not used later the pointer to decal, it's finalized internally !

CanAddToLandMarkDecal()

proto native int CanAddToLandMarkDecal	(	hDecal	lmDecal,
		IEntity	entity,
		string	mat,
		vector	newPoint )

is it possible to add new point to landmark decal?

Аргументы

lmDecal	entity to add new landmark point
entity	entity to add new landmark point
mat	material of decal
newpoint	new point to add

Возвращает

LMD_ERROR = error when adding new point (invalid decal) LMD_VALID = can add new point LMD_DIFF_ENT = new point is on different entity LMD_TOO_FAR = new point is too far from previous point

CreateDecal()

proto native hDecal CreateDecal	(	IEntity	entity,
		vector	origin,
		vector	project,
		float	nearclip,
		float	angle,
		float	size,
		string	materialName,
		float	lifetime,
		int	flags )

Creates single visual mark, e.g. from shots when lifetime=0, pointer to decal is returned, that can be removed by RemoveDecal then

Аргументы

entity	entity where the landmark should be created
origin	first point of the decal, nothing is done now
project	projection direction (length is far clipping distance)
nearclip	near clipping distance
materialName	Material used for decal
lifetime	Lifetime in seconds
flags	Not used ATM

Возвращает

Decal pointer or null

CreateLandMarkDecal()

proto native hDecal CreateLandMarkDecal	(	IEntity	entity,
		vector	origin,
		vector	normal,
		float	edgeSize,
		float	lifeTime,
		string	materialName,
		hDecal	prevDecal,
		float	alpha )

Creates continous visual mark, e.g. from wheel when a car is moving on the ground

Аргументы

entity	entity where the landmark should be created (only terrain is supported ATM)
origin	first point of the decal, nothing is done now
normal	normal of surface
edgesize	Edge size of decal
lifetime	Lifetime in seconds
materialName	Material used for decal
prev	Previous decal, we are connecting to
alpha	translucency of point

Возвращает

Decal pointer or null

FinalizeLandMarkDecal()

proto native void FinalizeLandMarkDecal	(	hDecal	lmDecal,
		bool	addAlpha,
		float	alphaDist )

finalize landmark adding, e.g. when entity lose contact with ground -> the pointer to decal should have only world and entity if it has something to render, otherwise it's destroyed here

Аргументы

lmDecal	entity to add new landmark point
addAlpha	if to add last point with transition to zero alpha
alphaDist	distance to add last point

GetLastLandMarkPoint()

proto native vector GetLastLandMarkPoint

(

hDecal

lmDecal

)

return last landmark point or -65535.0 in all components

Аргументы

lmDecal

decal to test

IsLandMarkFinalized()

proto native bool IsLandMarkFinalized

(

hDecal

lmDecal

)

return if landmark was finalized

Аргументы

lmDecal

decal to test

RemoveDecal()

proto native void RemoveDecal

(

hDecal

decal

)

SetGlobalLandMarkParams()

proto native void SetGlobalLandMarkParams	(	float	minSegmentLength,
		float	maxSegmentLength,
		float	degAngle )

set global parameters for landmark generation

Аргументы

minSegmentLength	minimum length segment, when new point is added (4 default), when is less, just the end position is on the fly updated
maxSegmentLength	maximum segment length, when length is bigger, the path is finished
degAngle	angle in degrees, when is more, the path is finished
