static

get_delegate()

ReferenceTarget * get_delegate ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return delegate; } 

GetClassName()

void GetClassName ( MSTR &  s, bool  localized  ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Retrieves the name of the plugin class.

This name is used in 3ds Max's UI and in MAXScript. For Material plug-ins this method is used to put up the material "type" name in the Material Editor.

Parameters

s	Reference to a string filled in with the name of the plugin class.
localized	If true, then the class name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the class name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the class name in English.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ s = (localized) ? pc->ClassName() : pc->NonLocalizedClassName(); }

ClassID()

Class_ID ClassID ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Retrieves a constant that uniquely identifies the plugin class.

This method must return the unique ID for the plugin class. If two ClassIDs conflict, the system will only load the first conflicting one it finds. A program (gencid.exe) is provided to generate unique class id values.

Returns

A class id that uniquely identifies a plugin class

See also

Class ClassID, class ID definitions in plugapi.h.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return pc->class_id; }

FreeCaches()

void FreeCaches ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This is called to delete any item that can be rebuilt. For example, the procedural sphere object has a mesh that it caches. It could call Mesh::FreeAll() on the mesh from this method. This will free the vertex/face/uv arrays. If the sphere is ever evaluated again it can just rebuild the mesh. If an object (like a sphere) has modifiers applied to it, and those modifiers are not animated, then the result of the pipeline is cached in the node. So there is no reason for the sphere to also have a cache of its representation. Therefore when this method is called, the sphere can free the data of the mesh.

Default Implementation:

{}

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ delegate->FreeCaches(); }         

NumSubs()

int NumSubs ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

The system uses a virtual array mechanism to access the sub-anims of a plug-in. This method returns the total number of sub-anims maintained by the plug-in. If a plug-in is using a parameter block to manage its parameters it should just return 1 for all the parameters directed by the parameter block.

Returns

The number of sub-anims used by the plug-in.

Default Implementation:

{ return 0; }

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return pblocks.Count() + SimpleManipulator::NumSubs() + 1; }  

SubAnim()

Animatable * SubAnim ( int  i )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns a pointer to the 'i-th' sub-anim. If a plug-in is using a parameter block to manage all its parameters it should just return a pointer to the parameter block itself from this method. This method may return NULL so developers need to check the return value before calling other sub anim methods (such as SubAnimName()).

Parameters

i	This is the index of the sub-anim to return.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL };

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

SubAnimName()

MSTR SubAnimName ( int  i, bool  localized = true  )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the name of the 'i-th' sub-anim to appear in track view. The system has no idea what name to assign to the sub-anim (it only knows it by the virtual array index), so this method is called to retrieve the name to display. Developer need to make sure the 'i-th' SubAnim() is non-NULL or this method will fail.

Parameters

i	The index of the parameter name to return
localized	If true, then the sub-anim name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the sub-anim name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the sub-anim name in English.

Returns

The name of the 'i-th' parameter.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

NumParamBlocks()

int NumParamBlocks ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is available in release 3.0 and later only.

This method returns the number of ParamBlock2s in this instance.

Default Implementation:

{ return 0; }

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return pblocks.Count(); }

GetParamBlock()

IParamBlock2 * GetParamBlock ( int  i )

inlineoverridevirtual

An object or modifier should implement this method if it wishes to make its parameter block available for other plug-ins to access it.

The system itself doesn't actually call this method. This method is optional.

Returns

A pointer to the item's parameter block. See Class IParamArray.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return pblocks[i]; }

GetParamBlockByID()

IParamBlock2 * GetParamBlockByID ( BlockID  id )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns a pointer to the ParamBlock2 as specified by the ID passed (or NULL if not available).

Parameters

id	The BlockID of the ParamBlock2 instance.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return MSPlugin::GetParamBlockByID(id); }

GetInterface() [1/3]

void * GetInterface ( ULONG  id )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method provides a mechanism for extending the class in the future. In 3ds Max 4.0 there are new interfaces that are accessed by passing an id to this method and it will respond by returning the corresponding interface pointer.

This method has been used however for a different purpose. It currently is used to determine if an object is of a particular class. With controllers for example, there is one base class Control, however there are many super classes (CTRL_FLOAT_CLASS_ID, CTRL_SCALE_CLASS_ID, etc.). If you wanted to find out if a given Animatable was a controller you would need to compare its SuperClassID to all the known types and only if it wasn't one of the known types could you be sure it wasn't a controller. Having to do this is inconvenient for a developer.

Instead the Control class implements this method. It looks at the id, and if it matches a predefined constant I_CONTROL, it returns its this pointer. In this way, given any Animatable, it is easy to find out if it is a controller by simply asking for the control interface. There is a macro that does this:

#define GetControlInterface(anim)
((Control*)anim-\>GetInterface(I_CONTROL))

A plug-in developer may use this macro as follows:

Control *c = GetControlInterface(anim);

This will either be NULL or a pointer to a valid controller.

Note: Plug-in defined interfaces should be greater than the following value:

#define I_USERINTERFACE 0x0000ffff

If a plug-in implements this method for its own purposes, it would, in general, switch on the id and if it is not aware of the id it would call this method on the base class. Otherwise it could respond to the id as it needed. See the sample code below for the how the Control class implements this method.

Parameters

id	The id of the interface.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Sample Code:

The following is the Control class implementation of this method. It looks at the id passed, and if it matches I_CONTROL it returns its this pointer. Otherwise it calls the base class method.

void* Control::GetInterface(ULONG id)
{
    if (id==I_CONTROL) {
        return this;
    }
    else {
        return Animatable::GetInterface(id);
    }
}

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ if (id == I_MAXSCRIPTPLUGIN) return (MSPlugin*)this; return MSPluginSimpleManipulator::GetInterface(id); }

NumRefs()

int NumRefs ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the total number of references this ReferenceMaker can hold.

The plugin implements this method to indicate the total number of of references it can make. This includes all references whether they are NULL (inactive) or non-NULL (active) at the time when this method is called. A plugin can hold a variable number of references, thus the return value of this method is not to be cached and reused by client code.

Returns

The total number of references this plugin can hold. The default implementation is return 0.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

GetReference()

RefTargetHandle GetReference ( int  i )

overridevirtual

Returns the 'i-th' reference.

The plugin implements this method to return its 'i-th' reference. The plug-in simply keeps track of its references using an integer index for each one. This method is normally called by the system.

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to retrieve. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.

Returns

The reference handle of the 'i-th' reference. Note that different calls to this method with the same 'i' value can result in different reference handles being retrieved, as the plugin changes the scene objects it references as its 'i-th' reference.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

SetReference()

void SetReference ( int  i, RefTargetHandle  rtarg  )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Stores a ReferenceTarget as its 'i-th' reference`.

The plugin implements this method to store the reference handle passed to it as its 'i-th' reference. In its implementation of this method, the plugin should simply assign the reference handle passed in as a parameter to the member variable that holds the 'i-th' reference. Other reference handling methods such as ReferenceMaker::DeleteReference(), or ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference() should not be called from within this method. The plugin itself or other plugins should not call this method directly. The system will call this method when a new reference is created or an existing one is replaced by calling ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference().

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to store. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.
rtarg	- The reference handle to store.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

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 MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

GetObjectName()

const MCHAR * GetObjectName ( bool  localized = true ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns

the name that will appear in the modifier stack.

Parameters

localized

If true, then the object name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the object name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the object name in English.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return (localized) ? pc->ClassName() : pc->NonLocalizedClassName(); }

BeginEditParams()

void BeginEditParams ( IObjParam *  ip, ULONG  flags, Animatable *  prev  )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called by the system when the user may edit the item's (object, modifier, controller, etc.) parameters.

Parameters

ip	Interface pointer. The developer can use it to call methods such as AddRollupPage(). Note that this pointer is only valid between BeginEditParams() and EndEditParams(). It should not be used outside this interval.
flags	Describe which branch of the command panel or dialog the item is being edited in. The following are possible values: BEGIN_EDIT_CREATE Indicates an item is being edited in the create branch. BEGIN_EDIT_MOTION Indicates a controller is being edited in the motion branch. BEGIN_EDIT_HIERARCHY Indicates a controller is being edited in the Pivot subtask of the hierarchy branch. BEGIN_EDIT_IK Indicates a controller is being edited in the IK subtask of the hierarchy branch. BEGIN_EDIT_LINKINFO Indicates a controller is being edited in the Link Info subtask of the hierarchy branch.
prev	Pointer to an Animatable object. This parameter may be used in the motion and hierarchy branches of the command panel. This pointer allows a plug-in to look at the ClassID of the previous item that was being edited, and if it is the same as this item, to not replace the entire UI in the command panel, but simply update the values displayed in the UI fields. This prevents the UI from 'flickering' when the current item begins its edit. For example, if you are in the motion branch and are looking at an item's PRS controller values, and then select another item that is displayed with a PRS controller, the UI will not change - only the values displayed in the fields will change. If however you selected a target camera that has a lookat controller (not a PRS controller) the UI will change because a different set of parameters need to be displayed. Note that for items that are edited in the modifier branch this field can be ignored.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

EndEditParams()

void EndEditParams ( IObjParam *  ip, ULONG  flags, Animatable *  next  )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called when the user is finished editing an objects parameters. The system passes a flag into the EndEditParams() method to indicate if the rollup page should be removed. If this flag is TRUE, the plug-in must un-register the rollup page, and delete it from the panel.

Parameters

ip	An interface pointer. The developer may use the interface pointer to call methods such as DeleteRollupPage().
flags	The following flag may be set: END_EDIT_REMOVEUI If TRUE, the item's user interface should be removed.
next	Animatable pointer. Can be used in the motion and hierarchy branches of the command panel. It allows a plug-in to look at the ClassID of the next item that was being edited, and if it is the same as this item, to not replace the entire UI in the command panel. Note that for items that are edited in the modifier branch this field can be ignored.

HitTest()

int HitTest ( TimeValue  t, INode *  pNode, int  type, int  crossing, int  flags, IPoint2 *  pScreenPoint, ViewExp *  pVpt  )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called to determine if the specified screen point intersects the manipulator. The method returns nonzero if the item was hit; otherwise 0. This is like the normal HitTest() method in the BaseObject class. The difference is that it needs to log it hits in the viewport SubObjectHitList. It does this using the ManipHitData class defined in Manipulator.h.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time to perform the hit test.

INode* pNode

A pointer to the node to test.

int type

The type of hit testing to perform. See Scene and Node Hit Test Types. int crossing

The state of the crossing setting. If TRUE crossing selection is on.

int flags

The hit test flags. See Scene and Node Hit Testing Flags IPoint2 *pScreenPoint

Points to the screen point to test.

ViewExp *pVpt

An interface that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

Returns

Nonzero if the item was hit; otherwise 0.

Reimplemented from SimpleManipulator.

                        { return delegate->HitTest(t, inode, type, crossing, vflags, p, vpt); }

Display()

int Display ( TimeValue  t, INode *  pNode, ViewExp *  pVpt, int  flags  )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method lines the BaseObject::Display() method and displays the manipulator object.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time to display the object.

INode* pNode

Points to the node that is being manipulated by the manipulator.

ViewExp *pVpt

An interface that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

int flags

See Display Flags.

Returns

The return value is not currently used.

Reimplemented from SimpleManipulator.

                        { return delegate->Display(t, inode, vpt, vflags); }        

GetWorldBoundBox()

void GetWorldBoundBox ( TimeValue  t, INode *  inode, ViewExp *  vp, Box3 &  box  )

inlineoverridevirtual

This method returns the world space bounding box for Objects (see below for the Sub-object gizmo or Modifiers gizmo version).

The bounding box returned by this method does not need to be precise. It should however be calculated rapidly. The object can handle this by transforming the 8 points of its local bounding box into world space and take the minimums and maximums of the result. Although this isn't necessarily the tightest bounding box of the objects points in world space, it is close enough.

Parameters

t	The time to compute the bounding box.
inode	The node to calculate the bounding box for.
vp	An interface pointer that can be used to call methods associated with the viewports.
box	Contains the returned bounding box.

Reimplemented from SimpleManipulator.

{ delegate->GetWorldBoundBox(t, inode, vpt, box); }

GetLocalBoundBox()

void GetLocalBoundBox ( TimeValue  t, INode *  inode, ViewExp *  vp, Box3 &  box  )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

Used Internally.

Returns the object space bounding box of the manipulator in the object's local coordinates.

Parameters:

TimeValue t

The time to retrieve the bounding box.

INode* inode

The node that is being manipulated by the manipulator.

ViewExp* vp

An interface that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

Box3& box

The bounding box is returned here.

Reimplemented from SimpleManipulator.

{ delegate->GetLocalBoundBox(t, inode, vpt,  box ); }

Snap()

void Snap ( TimeValue  t, INode *  inode, SnapInfo *  snap, IPoint2 *  p, ViewExp *  vpt  )

inlineoverridevirtual

Checks the point passed for a snap and updates the SnapInfo structure.

Note

Developers wanting to find snap points on an Editable Mesh object should see the method XmeshSnap::Snap() in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/SNAPS/XMESH/XMESH.CPP.

Parameters

t	The time to check.
inode	The node to check.
snap	The snap info structure to update.
p	The screen point to check.
vpt	An interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

Reimplemented from BaseObject.

{ delegate->Snap(t, inode, snap, p, vpt); }

GetCreateMouseCallBack()

CreateMouseCallBack * GetCreateMouseCallBack ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

This method allows the system to retrieve a callback object used in creating an object in the 3D viewports.

This method returns a pointer to an instance of a class derived from CreateMouseCallBack. This class has a method proc() which is where the programmer defines the user/mouse interaction during the object creation phase.

Returns

A pointer to an instance of a class derived from CreateMouseCallBack.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return delegate->GetCreateMouseCallBack(); } 

HasUVW()

BOOL HasUVW ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Call this method to find out if the object has UVW coordinates.

This method returns TRUE if the object has UVW coordinates; otherwise FALSE. In 3ds Max 2.0 and later there is code in the renderer that will automatically turn on the UVW coordinates of the base object if UV's are missing (and needed). The base object has to implement two simple methods to make this work: HasUVW() and SetGenUVW(). Developers are encouraged to put these methods in their objects: it makes using the program easier for the user. If they are not implemented, it doesn't cause any real harm: it will just operate as before and put up the missing UVW's message. Here is how the procedural sphere implements these methods:

BOOL SphereObject::GetGenUVW()
{
    BOOL genUVs;
    Interval v;
    pblock->GetValue(PB_GENUVS, 0, genUVs, v);
    return genUVs;
}
 
void SphereObject::SetGenUVW(BOOL sw)
{
    if (sw==GetGenUVW()) return;
    pblock->SetValue(PB_GENUVS,0, sw);
}

Important Note: The pblock->SetValue() will cause a call to NotifyDependents(FOREVER, PART_TEXMAP, REFMSG_CHANGE), which will invalidate the UVW cache. It is essential that this call be made, so if the 'generate UVW' boolean is not handled by a parameter block, then NotifyDependents() needs to be called explicitly. Also Note: For "modifiable objects" that pass up the pipeline getting modified, such as TriObject, EditTriObject, etc., which cannot generate their own UVWs, but can carry them in their data structures, only this HasUVW() method needs to be implemented. For example, here is the implementation for TriObject: BOOL TriObject::HasUVW() { return mesh.tvFace?1:0; }

Reimplemented from Object.

{ return delegate->HasUVW(); }

SetGenUVW()

void SetGenUVW ( BOOL  sw )

inlineoverridevirtual

This method is called to change the state of its Generate UVW boolean.

If the state changes, the object must send a REFMSG_CHANGE up the pipeline by calling NotifyDependents(). This applies to map channel 1.

Parameters

sw	The new state for the generate UVW flag.

Reimplemented from BaseObject.

{ delegate->SetGenUVW(sw); }

UsesWireColor()

int UsesWireColor ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Implemented by the System.

Returns TRUE to indicate the object color is used for display.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return delegate->UsesWireColor(); }   // TRUE if the object color is used for display

NormalAlignVector()

BOOL NormalAlignVector ( TimeValue  t, Point3 &  pt, Point3 &  norm  )

inlineoverridevirtual

Objects that don't support the IntersectRay() method (such as helper objects) can implement this method to provide a default vector for use with the normal align command in 3ds Max.

Parameters

t	The time to compute the normal align vector.
pt	The point of intersection.
norm	The normal at the point of intersection.

Returns

TRUE if this method is implemented to return the normal align vector; otherwise FALSE.

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ return delegate->NormalAlignVector(t, pt, norm); }

UpdateShapes()

void UpdateShapes ( TimeValue  t, MSTR &  toolTip  )

GetInterface() [2/3]

void * GetInterface ( ULONG  id )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method provides a mechanism for extending the class in the future. In 3ds Max 4.0 there are new interfaces that are accessed by passing an id to this method and it will respond by returning the corresponding interface pointer.

This method has been used however for a different purpose. It currently is used to determine if an object is of a particular class. With controllers for example, there is one base class Control, however there are many super classes (CTRL_FLOAT_CLASS_ID, CTRL_SCALE_CLASS_ID, etc.). If you wanted to find out if a given Animatable was a controller you would need to compare its SuperClassID to all the known types and only if it wasn't one of the known types could you be sure it wasn't a controller. Having to do this is inconvenient for a developer.

Instead the Control class implements this method. It looks at the id, and if it matches a predefined constant I_CONTROL, it returns its this pointer. In this way, given any Animatable, it is easy to find out if it is a controller by simply asking for the control interface. There is a macro that does this:

#define GetControlInterface(anim)
((Control*)anim-\>GetInterface(I_CONTROL))

A plug-in developer may use this macro as follows:

Control *c = GetControlInterface(anim);

This will either be NULL or a pointer to a valid controller.

Note: Plug-in defined interfaces should be greater than the following value:

#define I_USERINTERFACE 0x0000ffff

If a plug-in implements this method for its own purposes, it would, in general, switch on the id and if it is not aware of the id it would call this method on the base class. Otherwise it could respond to the id as it needed. See the sample code below for the how the Control class implements this method.

Parameters

id	The id of the interface.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Sample Code:

The following is the Control class implementation of this method. It looks at the id passed, and if it matches I_CONTROL it returns its this pointer. Otherwise it calls the base class method.

void* Control::GetInterface(ULONG id)
{
    if (id==I_CONTROL) {
        return this;
    }
    else {
        return Animatable::GetInterface(id);
    }
}

Reimplemented from MSPluginSimpleManipulator.

{ if (id == I_MAXSCRIPTPLUGIN) return (MSPlugin*)this; return Manipulator::GetInterface(id); }

GetInterface() [3/3]

ManipExport BaseInterface * GetInterface ( Interface_ID  id )

virtual

Remarks

Returns a pointer to the interface whose ID is specified.

Parameters:

Interface_ID id

The ID of the interface to return.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }
