Detailed Description

This is a gravity well implementation of the AreaEffect class.

This class is not a gravity field, where gravity only pulls in one direction. Instead this class will always pull objects inside it towards the field center.
This class works best with sphere's, but can be made to work with any shape.

Member Function Documentation

void Mezzanine::GravityWell::ApplyEffect ( )

virtual

Todo:: This currently will apply this fields force uniformly to all rigid proxies contained in a WorldObject. Instead this should perhaps apply only to the ones in the field, or perhaps apply force based on the proxy position rather than the WorldObject position to get more interesting results.

Todo:: Update to allow the application of force to soft proxies.

Implements Mezzanine::AreaEffect.

Definition at line 98 of file gravitywell.cpp.

Boole Mezzanine::GravityWell::GetAllowWorldGravity ( ) const

virtual

Gets whether or not world gravity is is removed for objects inside this field.

Definition at line 192 of file gravitywell.cpp.

Real Mezzanine::GravityWell::GetAttenuationAmount ( ) const

virtual

Gets the amount force is attenuated over distance.

Returns: Returns a Real representing the amount of force that is dropped per 1 unit of distance (with linear attenuation).

Definition at line 210 of file gravitywell.cpp.

Mezzanine::AttenuationStyle Mezzanine::GravityWell::GetAttenuationStyle ( ) const

Definition at line 204 of file gravitywell.cpp.

String Mezzanine::GravityWell::GetDerivedSerializableName ( ) const

virtual

Gets the most derived serializable name of this WorldObject.

Note: When creating a new WorldObject class verify this method has a valid return for it in order for serialization to work properly.

Definition at line 216 of file gravitywell.cpp.

void Mezzanine::GravityWell::SetAllowWorldGravity ( Boole WorldGravity )

virtual

Sets whether or not world gravity should be removed for objects in this field.

Remarks: Changing this value while the field is in the world and active is not recommended.

Parameters

WorldGravity If true, then forces exerted by this field will be added to the world gravity, otherwise world gravity for objects inside will be set to zero.

Definition at line 189 of file gravitywell.cpp.

void Mezzanine::GravityWell::SetAttenuation	(	const Real	Amount,
		const Mezzanine::AttenuationStyle	Style
	)

virtual

Sets the attenuation for this field.

Parameters

Amount	The amount of force that is dropped off per 1 unit of distance objects are from the AE center.
Style	The style of attenuation to apply, see the AttenuationStyle enum for more details.

Definition at line 195 of file gravitywell.cpp.

void Mezzanine::GravityWell::SetAttenuationAmount ( const Real Amount )

virtual

Sets the amount of force that is attenuated over distance.

Parameters

Amount The amount of force that is dropped off per 1 unit of distance objects are from the AE source.

Definition at line 207 of file gravitywell.cpp.

void Mezzanine::GravityWell::SetAttenuationStyle ( const Mezzanine::AttenuationStyle Style )

virtual

Sets the method of attenuation of force over a distance.

Parameters

Style The style of attenuation to apply, see the AttenuationStyle enum for more details.

Definition at line 201 of file gravitywell.cpp.

void Mezzanine::GravityWell::SetFieldStrength ( const Real FieldStrength )

virtual

Sets the strenth of the field.

Remarks: The direction of the field is based on the current position of the object in the field. Once that direction is calculated it will be multiplied by this value to determine the force the field will apply to the object.

Parameters

FieldStrength The strength the field will have when exerting force onto other objects.
