TP_PShapeInterface Struct Reference

#include <c4d_particles.h>

Detailed Description

Callback interface for nodes that register shapes.
The easiest way to create this is to implement the TP_BaseShape class:
This class is only forward-declared in c4d_particles.h, so as long as the linker approves this is fine.
Example:

class TP_BaseShape
{
public:
  TP_PShapeInterface si;
  TP_BaseShape() { si.base = this; }
 
  TP_PShape* GetShapeClone(TP_PShapePtr &shape , TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, Int32 flags, AliasTrans *trn)
  {
    // ...
  }
 
  TP_PShape* GetShape(TP_PShapePtr &shape , TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, Int32 owner_id)
  {
    // ...
  }
 
  BaseObject* GetShapeVirtualObjects(TP_PShapePtr &shape , TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, BaseDocument *doc, const HierarchyHelp *hh)
  {
    // ...
  }
 
  Float GetShapeScale(TP_PShapePtr &shape , TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid)
  {
    // ...
  }
 
  void FreeShape(TP_PShapePtr &shape, TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid)
  {
    // ...
  }
};

In the TP_MSG_GET_PSHAPEINTERFACE message then simply set the passed pointer TP_PShapeInterface to &baseshape.si, for a global TP_BaseShape baseshape object that was previously created.
Thinking Particles will then call the shape functions as needed.

base

TP_BaseShape* base

Base class pointer.

GetShapeClone

TP_PShapePtr(TP_BaseShape::* GetShapeClone) (const TP_PShapePtr &shape, TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, COPYFLAGS flags, AliasTrans *trn)

Return a clone of shape.

Parameters

[in]	shape	The particle shape pointer structure of the particle shape handle.
[in]	msys	The master system. The caller owns the pointed TP_MasterSystem.
[in]	pid	The particle ID: 0 <= pid < msys->NumParticles()
[in]	flags	The flags: COPYFLAGS
[in]	trn	An alias translator for the operation. Can be nullptr. The caller owns the pointed AliasTrans.

Returns

The particle shape pointer structure of the cloned particle shape. The caller owns the pointed TP_PShapePtr.

GetShape

TP_PShapePtr(TP_BaseShape::* GetShape) (const TP_PShapePtr &shape, TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, Int32 owner_id)

Return the shape associated with shape. Normally this is the same object, so a typical implementation would be:

TP_PShapePtr GetShape(TP_PShapePtr &shape , TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, Int32 owner_id)
{
  if (shape->Get()->owner_id == owner_id)
    return TP_ShapePtr(shape);
  return nullptr;
}

Parameters

[in]	shape	The particle shape pointer structure of the particle shape handle.
[in]	msys	The master system. The caller owns the pointed TP_MasterSystem.
[in]	pid	The particle ID: 0 <= pid < msys->NumParticles()
[in]	owner_id	The owner ID.

Returns

The particle shape pointer structure. The shape handler owns the pointed shape.

GetShapeVirtualObjects

BaseObject*(TP_BaseShape::* GetShapeVirtualObjects) (const TP_PShapePtr &shape, TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid, BaseDocument *doc, const HierarchyHelp *hh)

Return a real BaseObject for shape.

Parameters

[in]	shape	The particle shape pointer structure of the particle shape handle.
[in]	msys	The master system. The caller owns the pointed TP_MasterSystem.
[in]	pid	The particle ID: 0 <= pid < msys->NumParticles()
[in]	doc	The current document. The caller owns the pointed BaseDocument.
[in]	hh	A hierarchy helper for the operation. The caller owns the pointed HierarchyHelp.

Returns

The particle shape object. The particle shape handler owns the pointed object.

GetShapeScale

Float(TP_BaseShape::* GetShapeScale) (const TP_PShapePtr &shape, TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid)

Return the scale of the particle shape.

Parameters

[in]	shape	The particle shape pointer structure of the particle shape handle.
[in]	msys	The master system. The caller owns the pointed TP_MasterSystem.
[in]	pid	The particle ID: 0 <= pid < msys->NumParticles()

Returns

The particle shape scale.

FreeShape

void(TP_BaseShape::* FreeShape) (TP_PShapePtr &shape, TP_MasterSystem *msys, Int32 pid)

Free the particle shape.

Parameters

[in]	shape	The particle shape pointer structure of the particle shape handle.
[in]	msys	The master system. The caller owns the pointed TP_MasterSystem.
[in]	pid	The particle ID: 0 <= pid < msys->NumParticles()
