TNL::GhostInfo Struct Reference

#include <tnlGhostConnection.h>

Detailed Description

Each GhostInfo structure tracks the state of a single NetObject's ghost for a single GhostConnection.

Public Types

enum Flags {
  InScope = BIT(0),
  ScopeLocalAlways = BIT(1),
  NotYetGhosted = BIT(2),
  Ghosting = BIT(3),
  KillGhost = BIT(4),
  KillingGhost = BIT(5),
  NotAvailable = (NotYetGhosted | Ghosting | KillGhost | KillingGhost)
}

Data Fields

NetObject * obj

The real object on the server.

U32 updateMask

The current out-of-date state mask for the object for this connection.

GhostConnection::GhostRef * lastUpdateChain

The GhostRef for this object in the last packet it was updated in, or NULL if that last packet has been notified yet.

GhostInfo * nextObjectRef

Next GhostInfo for this object in the doubly linked list of GhostInfos across all connections that scope this object.

GhostInfo * prevObjectRef

Previous GhostInfo for this object in the doubly linked list of GhostInfos across all connections that scope this object.

GhostConnection * connection

The connection that owns this GhostInfo.

GhostInfo * nextLookupInfo

Next GhostInfo in the hash table for NetObject*->GhostInfo*.

U32 updateSkipCount

How many times this object has NOT been updated in writePacket.

U32 flags

Current flag status of this object for this connection.

F32 priority

Priority for the update of this object, computed after the scoping process has run.

U32 index

Fixed index of the object in the mGhostRefs array for the connection, and the ghostId of the object on the client.

S32 arrayIndex

Position of the object in the mGhostArray for the connection, which changes as the object is pushed to zero, non-zero and free.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum TNL::GhostInfo::Flags

Enumeration values:

InScope This GhostInfo's NetObject is currently in scope for this connection.

ScopeLocalAlways This GhostInfo's NetObject is always in scope for this connection.

NotYetGhosted This GhostInfo's NetObject has not been sent to or constructed on the remote host.

Ghosting This GhostInfo's NetObject has been sent to the client, but the packet it was sent in hasn't been acked yet.

KillGhost The ghost of this GhostInfo's NetObject should be destroyed ASAP.

KillingGhost The ghost of this GhostInfo's NetObject is in the process of being destroyed.

NotAvailable Flag mask - if any of these are set, the object is not yet available for ghost ID lookup.
