Public Member Functions
void	Update ()
	Updates all Actors and ActorApiServices, deletes actors that are queued for destruction.
void	Shutdown ()
	Destroys all Actors and ActorApiServices.
void	AddActor (plUniquePtr< plActor > &&pActor)
	Gives control over the actor to the plActorManager.
void	DestroyActor (plActor *pActor, DestructionMode mode=DestructionMode::Immediate)
	Destroys the given actor. If mode is DestructionMode::Queued the destruction will be delayed until the end of the next Update().
void	DestroyAllActors (const void *pCreatedBy, DestructionMode mode=DestructionMode::Immediate)
	Destroys all actors which have been created by the pCreatedBy object.
void	GetAllActors (plHybridArray< plActor *, 8 > &out_allActors)
	Returns all actors currently in the system, including ones that are queued for destruction.
void	DestroyQueuedActors ()
	Destroys all actors that are queued for destruction. This is already executed by Update(), calling it directly only makes sense if one needs to clean up actors without also updating the others.

Member Enumeration Documentation

DestructionMode

enum class plActorManager::DestructionMode

strong

Specifies whether something should be destroyed right now or delayed during the next Update()

Enumerator
Immediate	Destruction is executed right now.
Queued	Destruction is queued and done during the next Update()

Member Function Documentation

AddActor()

void plActorManager::AddActor

(

plUniquePtr< plActor > &&

pActor

)

Gives control over the actor to the plActorManager.

From now on the actor will be updated every frame and the lifetime will be managed by the plActorManager.

DestroyAllActors()

void plActorManager::DestroyAllActors	(	const void *	pCreatedBy,
		DestructionMode	mode = DestructionMode::Immediate )

Destroys all actors which have been created by the pCreatedBy object.

If pCreatedBy == nullptr, all actors are destroyed. If mode is DestructionMode::Queued the destruction will be delayed until the end of the next Update().
