Edit type information

https://www.behaviac.com/edit_types/

In the type information browser , Manage all created type information .

After creating the type information , We may need to continue to modify in the type information browser 、 Delete the previously created type information , Such as class and member attributes 、 Such method .

type

There are three types of ：Agent、Struct and Enum, When adding a new type , You can choose accordingly , As shown in the figure below ：

 

 

On the left side of the type information browser “ Type list ” Select the... You want to edit Agent Subclass , On the right side of the “ type ” In the attribute box , Relevant parameters can be modified , As shown in the figure below ：

 

“ type ” The parameters in the box are described as follows ：

• The generated code ： Indicates whether the type needs to be in the lower right corner “ application ” Button , Generate source code files
• name ： The name of the type , Follow C++/C# The variable naming requirements of are consistent , Illegal characters cannot be entered
• Namespace ： The namespace of the type , Follow C++/C# The namespace of is consistent
• Base class ： Base class of this type
• Reference type ： Whether the type is a reference type , It is mainly provided for structure type . If it's a reference type , When used in the editor , Can only be used as a reference or pointer , Cannot expand configuration of its member properties .Agent Subclasses are all reference types , The structure type can be selected as reference or non reference type , Enumeration types are all non reference types
• Generation location ： In general, there is no need to set , By default, the... Configured in the workspace will be used uniformly “ Code generation location ”. But if this parameter is set , Indicates that the current type will be generated in the specified directory
• Display name ： Used to display the name of the type in the editor , It can be in Chinese
• describe ： Used to display the description of this type in the editor , It can be in Chinese

The buttons on the upper right are described below ：

• newly added ： Used to add a new type
• Delete ： Used to delete the selected type
• Preview prototype code ： Used to preview the generated code content . If the above... Is not checked “ type ” In the box “ The generated code ” Options , You can click this button to open the prototype code file , Copy relevant content into your own code
• Set header file ： In the code automatically generated by the editor , You may need to include header files in your project , Then you need to click this button , eject “C++ Export settings ” Add the required header file to the window , As shown in the figure below ：

 

example

In the middle of the type information browser “ Instance name ” In the list , Lists the currently selected Agent All global instance names of subclasses .

On its right “ newly added ” Button to add an instance name ,“ Delete ” Button to delete the currently selected instance name , As shown in the figure below ：

 

In the document 《 Lesson three ：Agent example 》 in , There are detailed instructions for using the example .

member

In the lower part of the type information browser “ Member type ” It is divided into Property、Method and Task：

• Property： Member attribute
• Method： Member method
• Task： Mission , The interface prototype used to define the subtree call

attribute

“ Member list ” According to the... Selected above “ Member type ”, Lists all members ;“ Filter characters ” Used to enumerate all members with their own specified characters , That is, quickly retrieve the members you need , As shown in the figure below ：

 

Select an attribute , It can be in the following “ attribute ” Box to view various parameters of this attribute ：

• name ： The name of the attribute , Follow C++/C# The variable naming requirements of are consistent , Illegal characters cannot be entered
• type ： The type of the property . If you check the following “ Array ？”, Indicates that the type is array type
• Open ： Whether the attribute is public, Follow C++/C# The concepts in are the same
• static state ： Whether the attribute is static, Follow C++/C# The concepts in are the same
• read-only ： Whether the attribute is read-only . If it's read-only , Then in the assignment node , Cannot be assigned as an lvalue , Only this value can be read
• local variable ： Indicates whether the attribute is a local variable . If it's a local variable , Only use in the currently open behavior tree , otherwise , Is a common member property , Belongs to current Agent Subclass , Can be used for any behavior tree
• The default value is ： The default initial value of this attribute , Will be automatically generated in the constructor of the type
• Display name ： Used to display the name of the attribute in the editor , It can be in Chinese
• describe ： Used to display the description of the attribute in the editor , It can be in Chinese

On the right side of the “ newly added ” Button to add a new attribute ,“ Delete ” The button is used to delete the selected attribute ,“ Upward ” and “ Down ” Button is used to adjust the relative position of the selected attribute .

Method

In the type information browser , take “ Member type ” Choose as “Method”, It's in “ Member list ” All member methods are listed in , As shown in the figure below ：

 

After selecting a method , It can be in the following “ attribute ” Box to view the various parameters of the method ：

• name ： The name of the method , Follow C++/C# The variable naming requirements of are consistent , Illegal characters cannot be entered
• return type ： The return value type of this method . If you check the following “ Array ？”, Indicates that the type is array type
• Open ： Whether the method is public, Follow C++/C# The concepts in are the same
• static state ： Whether the method is static, Follow C++/C# The concepts in are the same
• Display name ： Used to display the name of the method in the editor , It can be in Chinese
• describe ： Used to display the description of the method in the editor , It can be in Chinese
• Parameters ： The parameter list of this method , You can add and delete

Mission

In the type information browser , take “ Member type ” Choose as “Task”, It's in “ Member list ” All tasks are listed in , As shown in the figure below ：

 

The editing of tasks is the same as that of member methods , The task just defines an interface prototype , Parameter passing for events . More usage of events , Please refer to the article 《 Event handling 》.

Last , In the process of editing type information , Don't forget to click... At the bottom right “ application ” Button , Save and generate type information .

The generated code

After editing the type information , Click... At the bottom right “ Apply button ” Generate source files related to type information .

If the above Agent type “FirstAgent” Checked “ The generated code ” Options , So in it “ Generation location ” in , This type of source file will be automatically generated （ Click on the bottom left “ Open the code generation location ” Button ）, As shown in the figure below ：

There is also a case that Agent Type is not checked “ The generated code ” Options , Or the old version , Are written by programmers by hand Agent type . Then click on the “ application ” After button , You need to manually add the code of member properties or methods added in the type information browser on the program side .

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of manual coding , Click on “ Preview prototype code ” Button , As shown in the figure below ：

 

 

You can see the current Agent The prototype code for the class is as follows , You can copy and paste the definitions of the required member properties or methods into your own code ：

 

If you forget to add the corresponding member property or method on the program side , When compiling, you will also report that you cannot find these new member properties or methods added in the editor , You need to add it manually .
