Detailed Description

Adds a static image of a sky to the scene.

This is used to fill the scene background with a picture of a sky. The sky image comes from a cubemap texture.

Position and scale of the game object are irrelevant, the sky always appears behind all other objects. The rotation, however, is used to rotate the sky image.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DeserializeComponent()

void ezSkyBoxComponent::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.

◆ GetLocalBounds()

ezResult ezSkyBoxComponent::GetLocalBounds ( ezBoundingBoxSphere out_bounds,
bool &  out_bAlwaysVisible,
ezMsgUpdateLocalBounds ref_msg 
)
overridevirtual

Called by ezRenderComponent::OnUpdateLocalBounds().

If EZ_SUCCESS is returned, out_bounds and out_bAlwaysVisible will be integrated into the ezMsgUpdateLocalBounds ref_msg, otherwise the out values are simply ignored.

Implements ezRenderComponent.

◆ Initialize()

void ezSkyBoxComponent::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.

OnActivated(), OnDeactivated(), Initialize(), Deinitialize(), OnSimulationStarted()

Reimplemented from ezComponent.

◆ OnActivated()

void ezSkyBoxComponent::OnActivated ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This method is called when the component gets activated.

By default a component is active, but it can be created in an inactive state. In such a case OnActivated() is only called once a component is activated. If a component gets switched between active and inactive at runtime, OnActivated() and OnDeactivated() are called accordingly. In contrast Initialize() and Deinitialize() are only ever called once.
