This class manages all components which comprise a 3D world including sectors, polygons, curves, mesh objects, etc.

Definition at line 209 of file csengine/engine.h.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

csEngine::csEngine iBase   iParent
 

Initialize an empty engine.

The only thing that is valid just after creating the engine is the configurator object which you can use to configure the engine before continuing (see GetEngineConfig()).

virtual csEngine::~csEngine   [virtual]
 

Delete the engine and all entities it contains.

All objects added to this engine by the user (like Things, Sectors, ...) will be deleted as well. If you don't want this then you should unlink them manually before destroying the engine.

virtual bool csEngine::RemoveObject iBase   object [virtual]
 

Conveniance function to 'remove' a CS object from the engine.

This will not clear the object but it will remove all references to that object that the engine itself keeps. This function works for: iSector, iCollection, iMeshWrapper, iMeshFactoryWrapper, iCameraPosition, iDynLight, iMaterialWrapper, and iTextureWrapper. Note that the object is only removed if the resulting ref count will become zero. So basically this function only releases the references that the engine holds.

This function returns true if the engine recognized the object as one on which it can operate.

This function will also remove the object from the region it may be in.

csRefArray<iBase> csEngine::cleanup
 

This is a vector which holds objects of type 'csCleanable'.

They will be destroyed when the engine is destroyed. That's the only special thing. This is useful for holding memory which you allocate locally in a function but you want to reuse accross function invocations. There is no general way to make sure that the memory will be freed it only exists as a static pointer in your function code. Adding a class encapsulating that memory to this array will ensure that the memory is removed once the engine is destroyed.
