Jazz2::Actors::Environment::Checkpoint class
#include <Jazz2/Actors/Environment/Checkpoint.h>

Checkpoint.

Mid-level marker that the player activates by touching it, saving the spot as the respawn position. After dying, the rabbit reappears at the last activated checkpoint instead of the level start.

Base classes

class Jazz2::Actors::ActorBase
Base class of an object.

Public static functions

static void Preload(const ActorActivationDetails& details)
Preloads all assets required by this actor.

Constructors, destructors, conversion operators

Checkpoint()
Creates a new instance.

Public functions

auto OnHandleCollision(ActorBase* other) -> bool override
Called when the object collides with another object.

Protected functions

auto OnActivatedAsync(const ActorActivationDetails& details) -> Task<bool> override
Called when the object is created and activated.
void OnUpdateHitbox() override
Called when the hitbox needs to be updated.
void OnSerializeState(Stream& dest) override
Serializes the live state of the object to a level state snapshot.
void OnDeserializeState(Stream& src) override
Restores the live state of the object from a level state snapshot.

Function documentation

void Jazz2::Actors::Environment::Checkpoint::OnSerializeState(Stream& dest) override protected

Serializes the live state of the object to a level state snapshot.

Called only if IsSerializable() returns true. Anything that is initialized from the event parameters in OnActivatedAsync() doesn't need to be stored, because the object is spawned again with the same parameters before OnDeserializeState() is called. Derived classes must call the base implementation first and read the data back in the same order.

void Jazz2::Actors::Environment::Checkpoint::OnDeserializeState(Stream& src) override protected

Restores the live state of the object from a level state snapshot.

Called right after the object was spawned again (i.e., after OnActivatedAsync()) and before it's added to the level. Running transitions are not restored, because their callbacks cannot be serialized, so derived classes have to put the object into a state that doesn't wait for such a callback.
