	Returns the unique id for this component.

void	SetUniqueID (xiiUInt32 uiUniqueID)
	Sets the unique id for this component.

Protected Member Functions inherited from xiiComponent
	xiiComponent ()
	Keep the constructor private or protected in derived classes, so it cannot be called manually.

bool	IsDynamic () const
	Returns whether this component is dynamic and thus can only be attached to dynamic game objects.

virtual xiiComponentMode::Enum	GetMode () const =0

virtual void	Initialize ()
	Can be overridden for basic initialization that depends on a valid hierarchy and position.

virtual void	Deinitialize ()
	This method is called before the component is destroyed. A derived type can override this method to do common de-initialization work.

virtual void	OnActivated ()
	This method is called when the component gets activated.

virtual void	OnDeactivated ()
	This method is called when the component gets deactivated.

virtual void	OnSimulationStarted ()
	This method is called once for active components, at the start of the next world update, but only when the world is simulated.

void	EnableUnhandledMessageHandler (bool enable)
	By default disabled. Enable to have OnUnhandledMessage() called for every unhandled message.

virtual bool	OnUnhandledMessage (xiiMessage &msg, bool bWasPostedMsg)
	When EnableUnhandledMessageHandler() was activated, this is called for all messages for which there is no dedicated message handler.

virtual bool	OnUnhandledMessage (xiiMessage &msg, bool bWasPostedMsg) const
	When EnableUnhandledMessageHandler() was activated, this is called for all messages for which there is no dedicated message handler.

Detailed Description

Adds inverse kinematics for a single joint of an animated mesh to point towards a target.

This can be used to make a creature look at something or to aim at a target. The component has to be attached to a child object of an animated mesh. The animated mesh needs to be driven by another component that generates an animation pose, such as a xiiAnimationControllerComponent or a xiiSimpleAnimationComponent. On those "EnableIK" must be set, then they will forward the pose to all their child objects and give them the opportunity to override the pose using IK.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DeserializeComponent()

void xiiAimIKComponent::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.

◆ SerializeComponent()

void xiiAimIKComponent::SerializeComponent ( xiiWorldWriter & ref_stream ) const

overridevirtual

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

Reimplemented from xiiComponent.
