Class FormationMotionModerator<T extends com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector<T>>

java.lang.Object

com.badlogic.gdx.ai.fma.FormationMotionModerator<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Type of vector, either 2D or 3D, implementing the Vector interface

public abstract class FormationMotionModerator<T extends com.badlogic.gdx.math.Vector<T>>
extends java.lang.Object

A FormationMotionModerator moderates the movement of the formation based on the current positions of the members in its slots: in effect to keep the anchor point on a leash. If the members in the slots are having trouble reaching their targets, then the formation as a whole should be held back to give them a chance to catch up.

Method Detail

updateAnchorPoint

public abstract void updateAnchorPoint(Location<T> anchor)

Update the anchor point to moderate formation motion. This method is called at each frame.

Parameters:

anchor - the anchor point

calculateDriftOffset

public Location<T> calculateDriftOffset(Location<T> centerOfMass,
                                        com.badlogic.gdx.utils.Array<SlotAssignment<T>> slotAssignments,
                                        FormationPattern<T> pattern)

Calculates the drift offset when members are in the given set of slots for the specified pattern.

Parameters:

centerOfMass - the output location set to the calculated drift offset

slotAssignments - the set of slots

pattern - the pattern

Returns:

the given location for chaining.
