Method Detail

run

javax.vecmath.Vector3d run(javax.vecmath.Vector3d scaledActualVelocity,
                           RefBoolean wantsToGoFaster,
                           RefBoolean wantsToStop,
                           RefLocation focus)

The steering manager calls steering to compute the force of the steering in that tick (logic).

Parameters:

scaledActualVelocity - This is the force of the last velocity, scaled by its weight. The steering can use this vector to create the decelerating force.

wantsToGoFaster - The steering should set this ref parameter, whether is possible to enlarge the velocity (wantsToGoFaster=true), or not.

wantsToStop - If steering want's to stop the agent, he can set this ref parameter to true.

focus - If the wantsToStop is true, steering can set the focus Location, which means the orientation of the stopped agent. (Agent will rotate to this location.)

Returns:

The computed steering force.

setProperties

void setProperties(SteeringProperties newProperties)

The steering manager will set to the steering his steering properties. That could be set also many times.

Parameters:

newProperties - the new steering properties
