Scratch that. It's really stupid and illogical to do that for every class just to use the default handler. Lemme know if you figure out a way without macro magic.Quote:
Would inheriting from MessageSystem solve the problem to have them use the default handler unless defined? might be kind of illogical though.
Scratch that. I see why the functor was necessary, since it might not always be Object's you're working with. I just missed that because you went off talking about Object's.Quote:
but I found if I was retrieving Object's from an ObjectSystem then there would be no use for a functor
I'm still unclear on the handler using a switch or not, and how to pass MSG_FIRE instead of a number - that require either a macro, global const, or global enum?
EDIT: I guess if the message system was that robust there would be a global enum or enum in the handler class or something.
EDIT: Found a nice powerpoint on scripting: http://www.cmpevents.com/sessions/GD...sy_UPDATED.ppt
It answered my question on how to handle a special amount of arguments and a few other things. Still though, I have a lot to learn before I can impliment this message system or scripting system.Quote:
Use script handlers
- For flexibility and prototyping
- To avoid C++ dependencies
- Reduce C++ subclasses
Use C++ handlers
- For special arg handling
- Performance, maintainance
