virtual void Initialize ()
 This method is called after the constructor. A derived type can override this method to do initialization work. Typically this is the method where updates function are registered.
 
virtual void Deinitialize ()
 This method is called before the destructor. A derived type can override this method to do deinitialization work.
 
virtual void OnSimulationStarted ()
 This method is called at the start of the next world update when the world is simulated. This method will be called after the initialization method.
 
virtual void WorldClear ()
 Called by ezWorld::Clear(). Can be used to clear cached data when a world is completely cleared of objects (but not deleted).

Member Function Documentation

◆ ComputeWindFlutter()

ezVec3 ezWindWorldModuleInterface::ComputeWindFlutter ( const ezVec3 vWind,
const ezVec3 vObjectDir,
float  fFlutterSpeed,
ezUInt32  uiFlutterRandomOffset 
) const

Computes a 'fluttering' wind motion orthogonal to an object direction.

This is used to apply sideways or upwards wind forces on an object, such that it flutters in the wind, even when the wind is constant.

Parameters
vWindThe sampled (and potentially boosted or clamped) wind value.
vObjectDirThe main direction of the object. For example the (average) direction of a tree branch, or the direction of a rope or cable. The flutter value will be orthogonal to the object direction and the wind direction. So when wind blows sideways onto a branch, the branch would flutter upwards and downwards. For a rope hanging downwards, wind blowing against it would make it flutter sideways.
fFlutterSpeedHow fast the object shall flutter (frequency).
uiFlutterRandomOffsetA random number that adds an offset to the flutter, such that multiple objects next to each other will flutter out of phase.
