Libraries.Game.Graphics.TextureBinder Documentation

The TextureBinder class manages the automatic binding and unbinding of texture resources for the rendering system. This is a shared class which is used automatically by the engine as needed, and most users will not need to interact with it manually.

Inherits from: Libraries.Language.Object

Actions Documentation

Begin()

The weight of each texture. Used to determine which Textures to discard if needed.

Bind(Libraries.Game.Graphics.TextureDescriptor descriptor)

textures are active to prevent accidental manipulation of them.

Parameters

Return

integer:

Bind(Libraries.Game.Graphics.TextureDescriptor descriptor, boolean rebind)

The amount of exclusive textures that may be used.

Parameters

Return

integer:

Bind(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Texture texture)

The weight added to a texture when its reused

Parameters

Return

integer:

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Parameters

Return

integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.

Example

Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

End()

The textures currently exclusively bound.

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

Example

use Libraries.Language.Object
use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
Object o
Text t
boolean result = o:Equals(t)

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

Example

Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()
