[Bf-committers] Init Delay for BGE Sensors, ideas and support pls

[Dalai Felinto]

Carsten,
thanks for your opinion.

Using the timer can be a good solution, although I still think that an
initial delay can be useful.

I'm still confused with the way SCA_AlwaysEventManager.cpp works. I
know that I can make an initial delay with I use a counter in the
NextFrame function, but right now I need to hard-code the m_initdelay:

# # # #
void SCA_AlwaysEventManager::NextFrame()
 {
  for (set<class SCA_ISensor*>::const_iterator i=
m_sensors.begin();!(i==m_sensors.end());i++)
  {
       if (m_initdelay <1){
               for (set<class SCA_ISensor*>::const_iterator i=
m_sensors.begin();!(i==m_sensors.end());i++)
               {
                       (*i)->Activate(m_logicmgr, NULL);
               }
       }else{
               m_initdelay --;
        }
 }
# # # #

If anyone can help me with this.

If my approach is right, what I need is a way to read what is the kind
of sensor I'm initializing, and if it is an Always Sensor I need to
set m_initdelay to the initdelay from the always sensors...

A small update of what I have so far:
