Detailed Description

Generates and Dispatches Events.

This is the manager that generates and dispatches events. If you want to communincate to an object, you call the appropriate method from here, and your event is dispatched to every other manager's event() function. Hopefully, it is dispatched from there to your object.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void mortic::IEventManager::generateIrrlichtEvent (  irr::SEvent  event  )  [pure virtual]

Generate an Irrlicht Event. This generates a mortic wrapper for the Irrlicht event given. event - the Irrlicht Event to wrap See also: IEvent

virtual void mortic::IEventManager::generateMorticEvent (  std::string  name, enum EValueType *  types = NULL, union UValue *  values = NULL, unsigned int  count = 0 )  [pure virtual]

Generate a Mortic Event. This should only be used internally for classification porpouses. Used the same as generateUserEvent() See also: IEvent generateUserEvent()

virtual void mortic::IEventManager::generateNullEvent (   )  [pure virtual]

Generate an event that means nothing. Because this event holds no data, it can only be used once in the code, usually for tests. I really have no idea why it is here...

virtual void mortic::IEventManager::generateUserEvent (  std::string  name, enum EValueType *  types = NULL, union UValue *  values = NULL, unsigned int  count = 0 )  [pure virtual]

Generates a user-made event. This is the function you would use to generate an event. name - the name of the event types - an array of argument types values - an array of arguments count - the length of types and values See also: IEvent
