Overview

This is the main class for the briefing with its members and part of the Cabal_Common_Library.

The script handles incoming data from worldScripts to make missionscreens a bit more interesting with time based animations of the displayed model. Scripts can pass the data easily and everything else is performed within the briefing script. 

 worldScripts.Cabal_Common_Briefing.startBriefing(obj);


A second approach is possible by instantiating a copy of the underlaying API, e.g. 

 this.helper = new worldScripts.Cabal_Common_Functions.Cabal_Common_ScreenFCB();

But scripts are then responsible to remove the framecallbacks on their own with the method provided by the API!


Missionscreens invoked by Cabal_Common_Briefing.js are using the screenID Added in v1.7.1

"Cabal_Common_Briefing"


Functions

startBriefing()

worldScripts.Cabal_Common_Briefing.startBriefing = function( obj )

Calling this method starts the handling. The passed obj must hold a few parameters to define the actions.

Parameters:

obj
Object.

Returns:

nothing


Properties of obj:

absolutePos
Array. Optional. E.g. [10,12,540].
background
String. Optional. Filename with extension.
briefing
Array. Required. Action commands.
callback
String. Required. WorldScript identifier.
callbackc
String. Optional. Mission choice.
callbackf
String. Required. Callback function.
capture
Boolean. If true only a new briefing, callback and callbackf gets established. The current missionscreen is used.
cornerPos
Array. Optional. Movement to one corner. E.g. [0.33,1,1,1.3]
fadeIn
Boolean. Optional. If true overlay images will be used to simulate a fade in. Added in v1.6.1
getOri
String. Optional. script_info keyname that holds orientation, e.g. "1,0,0,0".
getPos
String. Optional. script_info keyname that holds position, e.g. "0,0,300".
music
String. Optional. Filename with extension.
ori
Array. Optional. Orientation. E.g. [1,0,0,0].
overlay
String. Optional. Filename with extension. Defaults to "bgs-i_overlay_none.png" if BGS-A or BGS-I installed.
prepareBindings
Array. Optional. Sets bindings for subentities.
prepareOrientations
Array. Optional. Sets orientations for subentities.
preparePositions
Array Optional. Sets positions for subentities.
prepareProps
Object. Optional. Sets properties for model and all subentities, e.g. {energy:2000,fuel:0}.
repRelative
Boolean. Optional. If true relativePosition will be replaced by position in used shaders on setting up the briefing. Added in v1.6.1
role
String.
title
String. Optional. Defaults to "Briefing".


A short example: 

 var obj = {
   role:"trader",
   ori:[1,0,0,0],
   briefing:[
     [3,"mVelo",[0,-1,3,-1.005,0,0,1,0,0.85]],
     [17,"stopVelo",[0,-1]]
   ],
   callback:this.name,
   callbackf:"choiceEval"
 };
 worldScripts.Cabal_Common_Briefing.startBriefing(obj);

obj.briefing

The briefing array contains the timebased actions. A entry contains at least two elements:

Time
Number. Based on a interval of 0.25 sec.
Action
String. Specifier for the action.
ActionParameter
Array. See below.
Message
String. Via mission.addMessageText().
Sound
Filename.
SoundParameter
Number. repeatCount.
SoundStopTime
Number.

Short overview about the actions:

  • bgzoom - Zooms background image in and out. See fcbZoomBackground().
  • bind - Sticks two subents together. See fcbSetBinding().
  • check - Useful for developers to see how many framecallbacks are invoked. See fcbCheckAll().
  • clean - Clears all fcbs without stopping the briefing. See fcbRemoveAll().
  • continue - Enables checkpoints if specific points are reached. If callback function returns number, this is used as goto command.
  • face - Rotate entity to face another entity. See fcbFace().
  • flightTo - Turn and accelerate model until target position is reached. See fcbFlightTo().
  • kill - Stops briefing and clears all fcbs. See fcbRemoveAll().
  • mes - Add a message.
  • mSpeed - Velocity based on vectorForward. See fcbModelSpeed().
  • mVelo - Velocity vectorUp, Right and Forward. See fcbModelVelo().
  • mVeloTo - Set Velocities until target position is reached. See fcbModelVeloTo().
  • prop - Set property, e.g. fuel. See fcbSetProp().
  • reback - Set background image. See reBackground().
  • reori - Set orientation. See reOrient().
