Detailed Description

Handles ezMsgTriggerTriggered events and sends new messages after a delay.

The 'enter' and 'leave' messages are sent only when an empty trigger is entered or when the last object leaves the trigger. While any object is already inside the trigger, no change event is sent. Therefore this component can't be used to keep track of all the objects inside the trigger.

The 'enter' and 'leave' events can be sent with a delay. The 'enter' event is only sent, if the trigger had at least one object inside it for the full duration of the delay. Which exact object may change, but once the trigger contains no object, the timer is reset.

The sent ezMsgTriggerTriggered does not contain a reference to the 'triggering' object, since there may be multiple and they may change randomly.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DeserializeComponent()

void ezTriggerDelayModifierComponent::DeserializeComponent ( ezWorldReader inout_stream)
overridevirtual

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 ezComponent.

◆ Initialize()

void ezTriggerDelayModifierComponent::Initialize ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Can be overridden for basic initialization that depends on a valid hierarchy and position.

All trivial initialization should be done in the constructor. For typical game code, you should prefer to use OnSimulationStarted(). This method is called once for every component, after creation but only at the start of the next world update. Therefore the global position has already been computed and the owner ezGameObject is set. Contrary to OnActivated() and OnSimulationStarted(), this function is always called for all components.
