Public Member Functions
virtual plResult	GetLocalBounds (plBoundingBoxSphere &ref_bounds, bool &ref_bAlwaysVisible, plMsgUpdateLocalBounds &ref_msg) override
	Called by plRenderComponent::OnUpdateLocalBounds(). If PL_SUCCESS is returned, bounds and bAlwaysVisible will be integrated into the plMsgUpdateLocalBounds result, otherwise the out values are simply ignored.

Public Member Functions inherited from plRenderComponent
void	TriggerLocalBoundsUpdate ()
	Call this when some value was modified that affects the size of the local bounding box and it should be recomputed.

PL_ALWAYS_INLINE plUInt32	GetUniqueIdForRendering (plUInt32 uiInnerIndex=0, plUInt32 uiInnerIndexShift=24) const

Public Member Functions inherited from plComponent
void	SetActiveFlag (bool bEnabled)
	Sets the active flag of the component, which affects its active state.

bool	GetActiveFlag () const
	Checks whether the 'active flag' is set on this component. Note that this does not mean that the component is also 'active'.

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

virtual void	DeserializeComponent (plWorldReader &inout_stream)
	Override this to load the current state of the component from the given stream.

void	EnsureInitialized ()
	Ensures that the component is initialized. Must only be called from another component's Initialize callback.

void	EnsureSimulationStarted ()
	Ensures that the OnSimulationStarted method has been called. Must only be called from another component's OnSimulationStarted callback.

PL_ALWAYS_INLINE bool	SendMessage (plMessage &ref_msg)
	Sends a message to this component.

PL_ALWAYS_INLINE bool	SendMessage (plMessage &ref_msg) const

void	PostMessage (const plMessage &msg, plTime delay=plTime::MakeZero(), plObjectMsgQueueType::Enum queueType=plObjectMsgQueueType::NextFrame) const
	Queues the message for the given phase. The message is processed after the given delay in the corresponding phase.

virtual bool	HandlesMessage (const plMessage &msg) const
	Returns whether the given Message is handled by this component.

void	SetUserFlag (plUInt8 uiFlagIndex, bool bSet)
	Be careful to check which flags may already be in use by base classes.

bool	GetUserFlag (plUInt8 uiFlagIndex) const
	Retrieves a custom flag. Index must be between 0 and 7.

void	SetCreatedByPrefab ()
	Adds plObjectFlags::CreatedByPrefab to the component. See the flag for details.

bool	WasCreatedByPrefab () const
	Checks whether the plObjectFlags::CreatedByPrefab flag is set on this component.

Protected Member Functions
virtual void	OnDeactivated () override
	This method is called when the component gets deactivated.

void	OnMsgExtractRenderData (plMsgExtractRenderData &msg) const

Protected Member Functions inherited from plRenderComponent
virtual void	Deinitialize () override

void	OnUpdateLocalBounds (plMsgUpdateLocalBounds &msg)

void	InvalidateCachedRenderData ()

Protected Member Functions inherited from plComponent
	plComponent ()

virtual plComponentMode::Enum	GetMode () const =0

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

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

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

Detailed Description

Automatically created by the particle system to finish playing a particle effect.

This is needed to play a particle effect to the end, when a game object with a particle effect on it gets deleted. This component should never be instantiated manually.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetLocalBounds()

plResult plParticleFinisherComponent::GetLocalBounds	(	plBoundingBoxSphere &	ref_bounds,
		bool &	ref_bAlwaysVisible,
		plMsgUpdateLocalBounds &	ref_msg )

overridevirtual

Called by plRenderComponent::OnUpdateLocalBounds(). If PL_SUCCESS is returned, bounds and bAlwaysVisible will be integrated into the plMsgUpdateLocalBounds result, otherwise the out values are simply ignored.

Implements plRenderComponent.

◆ OnDeactivated()

void plParticleFinisherComponent::OnDeactivated ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

This method is called when the component gets deactivated.

Upon destruction, a component that is active first gets deactivated. Therefore OnDeactivated() should be used for typical game code cleanup.

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

Reimplemented from plRenderComponent.
