Jazz2::Actors::Solid::MovingPlatform class
#include <Jazz2/Actors/Solid/MovingPlatform.h>

Moving platform.

A solid platform suspended from a chain that swings or circles along a fixed path; the player can stand on it and is carried along as it moves. Comes in several themed variants (Carrotus fruit, ball, lab, etc.), including spiked variants that damage the player instead of carrying them.

Function documentation

void Jazz2::Actors::Solid::MovingPlatform::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::Solid::MovingPlatform::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.
