UT3 Object >> GameViewportClient

Contents

Package: 
Engine
Within class: 
Engine
Known classes within GameViewportClient:
Console, PlayerManagerInteraction, UIInteraction, UTConsole, UTGameInteraction
Direct subclass:
UTGameViewportClient
This class in other games:
UDK

A game viewport (FViewport) is a high-level abstract interface for the platform specific rendering, audio, and input subsystems. GameViewportClient is the engine's interface to a game viewport. Exactly one GameViewportClient is created for each instance of the game. The only case (so far) where you might have a single instance of Engine, but multiple instances of the game (and thus multiple GameViewportClients) is when you have more than PIE window running.

Responsibilities: propagating input events to the global interactions list

return TRUE to indicate that the input event was handled. if the return value is TRUE, this input event will not be passed to the interactions array.

HandleInputChar

delegate bool HandleInputChar (int ControllerId, string Unicode)

Provides script-only child classes the opportunity to handle character input (typing) events received from the viewport. This delegate is called before the character event is passed to the interactions array for processing.

Parameters:

  • ControllerId - the controller that generated this character input event
  • Unicode - the character that was typed

Returns:

return TRUE to indicate that the input event was handled. if the return value is TRUE, this input event will not be passed to the interactions array.

HandleInputKey

delegate bool HandleInputKey (int ControllerId, name Key, Object.EInputEvent EventType, float AmountDepressed, optional bool bGamepad)
