Detailed Description

This component is used to render custom geometry.

Sometimes game code needs to build geometry on the fly to visualize dynamic things. The xiiDynamicMeshBufferResource is an easy to use resource to build geometry and change it frequently. This component takes such a resource and takes care of rendering it. The same resource can be set on multiple components to instantiate it in different locations.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CreateMeshResource()

xiiDynamicMeshBufferResourceHandle xiiCustomMeshComponent::CreateMeshResource	(	xiiGALPrimitiveTopology::Enum	topology,
		xiiUInt32	uiMaxVertices,
		xiiUInt32	uiMaxPrimitives,
		xiiGALValueType::Enum	indexType )

Creates a new dynamic mesh buffer.

The new buffer can hold the given number of vertices and indices (either 16 bit or 32 bit).

◆ DeserializeComponent()

void xiiCustomMeshComponent::DeserializeComponent ( xiiWorldReader & ref_stream )

overridevirtual

Override this to load the current state of the component from the given stream.

The active state will be automatically serialized. The 'initialized' state is not serialized, all components will be initialized after creation, even if they were already in an initialized state when they were serialized.

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.

◆ GetLocalBounds()

xiiResult xiiCustomMeshComponent::GetLocalBounds	(	xiiBoundingBoxSphere &	out_bounds,
		bool &	out_bAlwaysVisible,
		xiiMsgUpdateLocalBounds &	ref_msg )

overridevirtual

Called by xiiRenderComponent::OnUpdateLocalBounds().

If XII_SUCCESS is returned, out_bounds and out_bAlwaysVisible will be integrated into the xiiMsgUpdateLocalBounds ref_msg, otherwise the out values are simply ignored.

Implements xiiRenderComponent.

◆ OnActivated()

void xiiCustomMeshComponent::OnActivated ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

This method is called when the component gets activated.

By default a component is active, but it can be created in an inactive state. In such a case OnActivated() is only called once a component is activated. If a component gets switched between active and inactive at runtime, OnActivated() and OnDeactivated() are called accordingly. In contrast Initialize() and Deinitialize() are only ever called once.

See also: OnActivated(), OnDeactivated(), Initialize(), Deinitialize(), OnSimulationStarted()

Reimplemented from xiiRenderComponent.

◆ SerializeComponent()

void xiiCustomMeshComponent::SerializeComponent ( xiiWorldWriter & ref_stream ) const

overridevirtual

Override this to save the current state of the component to the given stream.

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.

◆ SetBounds()

void xiiCustomMeshComponent::SetBounds ( const xiiBoundingBoxSphere & bounds )

Sets the bounds that are used for culling.

Note: It is very important that this is called whenever the mesh buffer is modified and the size of the mesh has changed, otherwise the object might not appear or be culled incorrectly.

◆ SetMeshResource()

void xiiCustomMeshComponent::SetMeshResource ( const xiiDynamicMeshBufferResourceHandle & hMesh )

Sets which mesh buffer to use.

This can be used to have multiple xiiCustomMeshComponent's reference the same mesh buffer, such that the object gets instanced in different locations.
