Member Function Documentation

size_t Thing::getLength (  void   )  const throw () [virtual]

Get the length of an element. Each element record type has a length. Some are fixed, in which case this function returns that length. Some records are variable-length, in which case this function returns zero. Returns: Length of the record. Implements Doomwad::WadEntryElement. Reimplemented in Doomwad::HexenThing. Definition at line 103 of file things.cpp. References LENGTH.

bool Thing::read (  const Lump &  lump, Lump::size_type  i )  throw () [virtual]

Read this element from a Lump. Read one element from a Lump at the specified index. Parameters: lump  Reference to the target Lump. i  Index into the Lump's buffer. Returns: True if successful, false if not. Implements Doomwad::WadEntryElement. Reimplemented in Doomwad::HexenThing. Definition at line 125 of file things.cpp. Referenced by Doomwad::Things::setFromLump().

std::string Thing::toString (  void   )  const throw () [virtual]

Convert this element to a string. The format of the string will vary from class to class, but every subclass must be able to format itself as a string. IMPORTANT: this string representation is not guaranteed to preserve all data. Reading back in is not supported. This function's goal is to make the object's state user-readable, not machine-readable. Returns: std::string object containing object state. Implements Doomwad::WadEntryElement. Reimplemented in Doomwad::HexenThing. Definition at line 142 of file things.cpp. References angle, flags, type, x, and y.

bool Thing::write (  Lump &  lump, Lump::size_type  i )  const throw () [virtual]

Write this element into a Lump. Write one element into a Lump at the specified index. Parameters: lump  Reference to the target Lump. i  Index into the Lump's buffer. Returns: True if successful, false if not. Implements Doomwad::WadEntryElement. Reimplemented in Doomwad::HexenThing. Definition at line 108 of file things.cpp.
