Member Function Documentation

getEmptyTexture()

const Texture & ResourceManager::getEmptyTexture

(

)

const

Retrieve a white texture.

Returns

A white texture.

This is usually used when creating a RenderCmp and you don't want the object to have a texture.

getMesh() [1/2]

const Mesh & ResourceManager::getMesh

(

const BasicMesh

id

)

const

Retrieve a mesh.

Parameters

id	Engine default loaded mesh.

Returns

Requested mesh.

This is usually used when creating a RenderCmp.

getMesh() [2/2]

const Mesh & ResourceManager::getMesh

(

const std::string &

id

)

const

Retrieve a mesh.

Parameters

id	Name you assigned when you loaded the asset with loadResource.

Returns

Requested mesh.

This is usually used when creating a RenderCmp.

getSound()

const SoundBuffer & ResourceManager::getSound

(

const std::string &

id

)

const

Retrieve a SoundBuffer.

Parameters

id	Name you assigned when you loaded the asset with loadResource.

Returns

Requested sound.

This is usually used when creating a SoundCmp.

getTexture()

const Texture & ResourceManager::getTexture

(

const std::string &

id

)

const

Retrieve a texture.

Parameters

id	Name you assigned when you loaded the asset with loadResource.

Returns

Requested texture.

This is usually used when creating a RenderCmp.

loadResource()

void ResourceManager::loadResource	(	const ResourceType &	resource_type,
		const std::string &	file_path,
		const std::string &	identifier
	)

Load an external asset from a file using multithreading.

You'll need to use WaitResourceLoad before trying to access the resource.

Parameters

resource_type	Type of resource that you want to load.
file_path	Path where the resource to load is located.
identifier	Name with which you will identify the resource. Must be unique.

Using an already assigned identifier will override the previous asset.

WaitResourceLoad()

bool ResourceManager::WaitResourceLoad

(

)

Stops the program, waiting for resource loading to complete.

Returns

Return true if all resources are completed, else return false.

Waits for all resources to finish loading. You must always use this function once before trying to use any of the loaded resources.
