$Author: Aleiby $ $Date: 2/25/02 8:19p $ $Revision: 2 $ Name: LineManager.uc Author: Aaron R Leiby Date: 22 August 2000 Description: How to use this class:

From UnrealScript:

class'Singleton'.static.GetInstance( Level, class'LineManager', Name ).AddLinePS( ... ); -- Name is optional. Use it if you want a unique set of lines for your own use. Any name will do.

From C++:

USingleton::StaticGetInstance( GetLevel(), "ParticleSystems.LineManager", Name )->AddLinePS( ... );

From C++ (in non-ParticleSystems dependant packages):

struct LMParms { FVector Start FVector End FVvector Color UBOOL bDirected FLOAT ArrowOffset FLOAT ArrowWidth FLOAT ArrowHeight FVector ArrowColor };

LMParms Parms; Parms.Start = ...; // Fill in all parameters. UObject* LM=USingleton::StaticGetInstance( GetLevel(), "ParticleSystems.LineManager", Name ); LM->UObject::ProcessEvent( LM->FindFunction( FName(TEXT("AddLinePS"),FNAME_Intrinsic)), Parms );

From C++ (in UnrealEd):

UBOOL GIsScriptableSaved=1; Exchange(GIsScriptable,GIsScriptableSaved); LMParms Parms; Parms.Start = ...; // Fill in all parameters. UObject* LM=USingleton::StaticGetInstance( GetLevel(), "ParticleSystems.LineManager", Name ); LM->UObject::ProcessEvent( LM->FindFunction( FName(TEXT("AddLinePS"),FNAME_Intrinsic)), Parms ); Exchange(GIsScriptable,GIsScriptableSaved);

class'Singleton'.static.GetInstance( Level, class'LineManager', Name ).Clean();

-- This will clear all existing lines for this instance.

Use bHidden to toggle lines on/off.
Set bClip to false if you want lines to show through geometry -- this may not currently work in all renderers.
