Member Function Documentation

◆ DeserializeComponent()

void plVolumeBoxComponent::DeserializeComponent ( plWorldReader & inout_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 plVolumeComponent.

◆ SerializeComponent()

void plVolumeBoxComponent::SerializeComponent ( plWorldWriter & inout_stream ) const

overridevirtual

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

Reimplemented from plVolumeComponent.

◆ SetFalloff()

void plVolumeBoxComponent::SetFalloff ( const plVec3 & vFalloff )

Values above 1 make the box influence drop off more rapidly, below 1 more slowly.

Falloff is per cardinal axis.
