Detailed Description

This event handler component forwards any message that it receives to the active xiiGameStateBase.

Game states can have message handlers just like any other reflected type. However, since they are not part of the xiiWorld, messages are not delivered to them. By attaching this component to a game object, all event messages that arrive at that node are forwarded to the active game state. This way, a game state can receive information, such as when a trigger gets activated.

Multiple of these components can exist in a scene, gathering and forwarding messages from many different game objects, so that the game state can react to many different things.

Member Function Documentation

◆ HandlesMessage()

bool xiiForwardEventsToGameStateComponent::HandlesMessage ( const xiiMessage & msg) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Returns whether the given Message is handled by this component.

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.

◆ Initialize()

void xiiForwardEventsToGameStateComponent::Initialize ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Can be overridden for basic initialization that depends on a valid hierarchy and position.

All trivial initialization should be done in the constructor. For typical game code, you should prefer to use OnSimulationStarted(). This method is called once for every component, after creation but only at the start of the next world update. Therefore the global position has already been computed and the owner xiiGameObject is set. Contrary to OnActivated() and OnSimulationStarted(), this function is always called for all components.

OnActivated(), OnDeactivated(), Initialize(), Deinitialize(), OnSimulationStarted()

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.

◆ OnUnhandledMessage() [1/2]

bool xiiForwardEventsToGameStateComponent::OnUnhandledMessage ( xiiMessage & msg,
bool bWasPostedMsg ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

When EnableUnhandledMessageHandler() was activated, this is called for all messages for which there is no dedicated message handler.

Returns
Should return true if the given message was handled, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.

◆ OnUnhandledMessage() [2/2]

bool xiiForwardEventsToGameStateComponent::OnUnhandledMessage ( xiiMessage & msg,
bool bWasPostedMsg )
overrideprotectedvirtual

When EnableUnhandledMessageHandler() was activated, this is called for all messages for which there is no dedicated message handler.

Returns
Should return true if the given message was handled, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.
