Clone()

RefTargetHandle Clone ( RemapDir &  remap )

overridevirtual

This method is used by 3ds Max to clone an object.

See also

CloneRefHierarchy(), class RemapDir This method is called by 3ds Max to have the plugin clone itself. The plug-in's implementation of this method should copy both the data structure and all the data residing in the data structure of this reference target. The plugin should clone all its references as well. Also, the plug-in's implementation of this method must call BaseClone(). In order for classes derived from this class to clone cleanly, the Clone method should just create the new instance, and then call an implementation of BaseClone that clones the references and copies any other necessary data. For example:

class MyDerivedPlugin
    : public MyBasePlugin
{
    const int MY_REFERENCE = 1;
 
    ReferenceTarget* Clone(RemapDir& remap)
    {
        ReferenceTarget* result = new MyDerivedPlugin();
        BaseClone(this, result, remap);
        return result;
    }
 
    void BaseClone(ReferenceTarget* from, ReferenceTarget* to, RemapDir& remap)
    {
        if (!to || !from || from == to)
            return;    
        MyBasePlugin::BaseClone(from, to, remap);
        to->ReplaceReference(MY_REFERENCE, remap->CloneRef(from->GetReference(MY_REFERENCE)));
    }
};

This method should not be directly called by plug-ins. Instead, either RemapDir::CloneRef() or CloneRefHierachy() should be used to perform cloning. These methods ensure that the mapping from the original object to the clone is added to the RemapDir used for cloning, which may be used during backpatch operations

Note

See the remarks in method BaseClone() below.

Parameters

remap

- A RemapDir instance used for remapping references during a Clone.

Returns

A pointer to the cloned item.

Reimplemented from ReferenceTarget.

Reimplemented in MSLightXtnd.

EvalLightState()

RefResult EvalLightState ( TimeValue  time, Interval &  valid, LightState *  ls  )

inlineoverridevirtual

This method is called to update the passed LightState and validity interval of the light.

Parameters

time	The time to evaluate the light state.
valid	The validity interval of the light about the specified time. This interval should be updated to reflect the validity interval of the light.
ls	A pointer to the LightState structure which describes the properties of the light. This function updates the data in the structure to reflect the properties of the light at the specified time. See Structure LightState.

Returns

REF_SUCCEED if the LightState was updated; otherwise REF_FAIL.

Implements LightObject.

Reimplemented in MSLightXtnd.

{ return REF_SUCCEED; }

CreateLightDesc()

ObjLightDesc * CreateLightDesc ( INode *  n, BOOL  forceShadowBuffer  )

inlineoverridevirtual

When the renderer goes to render the scene it asks all of the lights to create an ObjectLighDesc object.

This is the method that is called to return this object.

Parameters

n	The node pointer of the light.
forceShadowBuffer	Forces the creation of a shadow buffer.

Returns

An instance of ObjectLightDesc. See Class ObjectLightDesc.

Implements GenLight.
