AI_SDB_VisitorFlags Struct Reference
#include <AI_SDB_VisitorBase.h>
Detailed Description
AI_SDB_VisitorFlags helper struct.This class contains a boolean flag, for specifying that a primitive is visible or contained or whatever. There is also a "antitest" flag that says an object is certainly NOT visible or contained, for when you want that information.
Also within the class is a bunch of bits that be used by the visitor for transferring state between calls to the visitor. Using the view frustum visitor as an example, if you call VisibilityTest() for a bounding box and that bbox is found to be totally on the 'inside' of one of the frustum sides, the bit flags for that side will be turned off in the returned AI_SDB_VisitorFlags value. For nested data structures, you can use this updated AI_SDB_VisitorFlags when doing VisibilityTest() calls on enclosed nodes; because of the bit flags, these child nodes won't require the full set of AI_Plane tests.
You can of course ignore all this for simplicity and always pass in the default constructed AI_SDB_VisitorFlags. The visitor should still work and return the exact same set of elements, it will just be a bit slower because it is doing some redundant tests. You may also want to avoid the whole bitflag thing when using simple heirarchy elements or debugging scaffolding elements.
The exact meaning of the activeflags varies with the visitor, so don't try to take the AI_SDB_VisitorFlags result from one visitor and use it in another visitor...
