Struct fyrox_core::variable::InheritableVariable

pub struct InheritableVariable<T> { /* private fields */ }

A wrapper for a variable that hold additional flag that tells that initial value was changed in runtime.

InheritableVariables are used for resource inheritance system. Resource inheritance may just sound weird, but the idea behind it is very simple - take property values from parent resource if the value in current hasn’t changed in runtime.

To get better understanding, let’s look at very simple example. Imagine you have a scene with a 3d model instance. Now you realizes that the 3d model has a misplaced object and you need to fix it, you open a 3D modelling software (Blender, 3Ds max, etc) and move the object to a correct spot and re-save the 3D model. The question is: what should happen with the instance of the object in the scene? Logical answer would be: if it hasn’t been modified, then just take the new position from the 3D model. This is where inheritable variable comes into play. If you’ve change the value of such variable, it will remember changes and the object will stay on its new position instead of changed.

Deref and DerefMut

Access via Deref provides access to inner variable. DerefMut marks variable as modified and returns a mutable reference to inner variable.

Implementations

impl<T: Clone> InheritableVariable<T>

pub fn clone_inner(&self) -> T

Clones wrapped value.

pub fn try_sync_model<S: FnOnce(T)>(&self, setter: S) -> bool

Tries to sync a value in a data model with a value in the inheritable variable. The value will be synced only if it was marked as needs sync.

impl<T> InheritableVariable<T>

pub fn new(value: T) -> Self

Creates new non-modified variable from given value.

pub fn new_modified(value: T) -> Self

Creates new variable from given value and marks it with VariableFlags::MODIFIED flag.

pub fn new_with_flags(value: T, flags: VariableFlags) -> Self

Creates new variable from a given value with custom flags.

pub fn set_value_and_mark_modified(&mut self, value: T) -> T

Replaces value and also raises the VariableFlags::MODIFIED flag.

pub fn set_value_with_flags(&mut self, value: T, flags: VariableFlags) -> T

Replaces value and flags.

pub fn set_value_silent(&mut self, value: T) -> T

Replaces current value without marking the variable modified.

pub fn need_sync(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the respective data model’s variable must be synced.

pub fn get_value_ref(&self) -> &T

Returns a reference to the wrapped value.

pub fn get_value_mut_and_mark_modified(&mut self) -> &mut T

Returns a mutable reference to the wrapped value.

Important notes.

The method raises modified flag, no matter if actual modification was made!

pub fn get_value_mut_silent(&mut self) -> &mut T

Returns a mutable reference to the wrapped value.

Important notes.

This method does not mark the value as modified!

pub fn is_modified(&self) -> bool

Returns true if variable was modified and should not be overwritten during property inheritance.

pub fn mark_modified(&mut self)

Marks value as modified, so its value won’t be overwritten during property inheritance.

Trait Implementations
