hello.
Been at CryENGINE for about a months and a half now. Still Have got no where

I was just wondering what was calling the player to respawn, and really what was handling the GameState in general, is it GameRules? Cos, I can't see anything useful in there.

I want to disable respawn so I can direct the user to an end of race screen.

Also, still wondering whether to make Vehicles as actors or as Vehicles with Camera's attached to them.

For your first question, yes, the game rules control player spawning.

Hmm...Cool. I'll have to double check it.


And It would also be very helpful to learn what the iSystem Interface is, what the GameFramework is- i belive this is all the header files in CryCommon?
And What is iGame for? interface for what?

And What are the m_ prefixes on some of the pointers, and what the Hell is a 'nan' Check.
also Why to function instances have a call block - ie
GetSomevalue(5,0)
{
// Code Block
}

Don't quite get it.

And Also what is scope initailizers doing outside Classes? ie

class foo
{
Public:
private:
etc:
}

void foo::init
{
do something....
}

also is there a reference to see about al the defined method names, ie "::init" - I belive that is called automatically by a system within cryengine? And ::Release?
Is there a list of these names?

And also, How can function reside in functions? I mean:

Surely that's not possible? yet it is.

and also, like a clear definition of the Prefixes. what is meant by the "g_" on "g_pGame"?

Some is to do with C++, I know - I'm still getting use to it.

"g_" means global, for further reference take a look at the "Hungarian notation standards".

m_ denotes a member variable. A NaN (not a number) check validates a given number to avoid errors.

Functions don't reside in functions. Your example uses the global game pointer (g_ means global btw) to get the weapon system, and then in turn get the tracer manager. The function calls are made on the preceding returned object.

I thought G meant game.. off topic.. but how come some console options work in MP and others dont.. I heard theres a default "High" setting regardless.. but I have dead AI stay visible and MP looks like the movie "Gamer" Kibbles n Bits!
