ClearTargetPosition()

void plRcAgentComponent::ClearTargetPosition ( )

overridevirtual

Implements plAgentSteeringComponent.

DeserializeComponent()

void plRcAgentComponent::DeserializeComponent ( plWorldReader & inout_stream )

overrideprotectedvirtual

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 plAgentSteeringComponent.

FindNavMeshPolyAt()

plResult plRcAgentComponent::FindNavMeshPolyAt	(	const plVec3 &	vPosition,
		dtPolyRef &	out_polyRef,
		plVec3 *	out_pAdjustedPosition = nullptr,
		float	fPlaneEpsilon = 0.01f,
		float	fHeightEpsilon = 1.0f ) const

OnSimulationStarted()

void plRcAgentComponent::OnSimulationStarted ( )

overrideprivatevirtual

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

This is the one preferred method to setup typical game logic. In a pure game environment there is no practical difference between OnActivated() and OnSimulationStarted(), as OnSimulationStarted() will be called right after OnActivated().

However, when a scene is open inside the editor, there is an important difference: OnActivated() is called once the component was created. OnSimulationStarted() is only called once the game simulation is started inside the editor. As an example, if a component starts a sound in OnActivated(), that sound will play right after the scene has been loaded into the editor. If instead the sound gets started in OnSimulationStarted(), it will only play once the user starts the game mode inside the editor.

Additionally, OnSimulationStarted() is only ever executed once on a component, even if the plWorld pauses and resumes world simulation multiple times. Thus components that should only execute a thing exactly once, will work correctly. In contrast OnActivated() and OnDeactivated() will be executed every time the component's active state is toggled, which could re-execute the same behavior multiple times.
