Function documentation

bool Jazz2::Actors::Bosses::Robot::IsSerializable() const override protected

Returns true if the live state of the object can be stored in a level state snapshot.

A snapshot stores the event type and parameters the object was spawned with together with its live state, so the object can be spawned again and resurrected exactly as it was. That works only for objects spawned from an event (see ActorActivationDetails::Type) which is registered in Events::EventSpawner. Objects that are not worth restoring (e.g., short-lived effects) can opt out by overriding it.
