Protected Member Functions
override bool	CanContextChange (UserActionContext currentContext, UserActionContext newContext)
	Called before a context is set to determine whether a change can occur.
override bool	DoIntersectCheck (IEntity controlledEntity)
	Should preferred context collection use intersect checks? This will make a ray check against the context's radius.
override bool	GetIsInteractionAvailableScript ()
	Are any user actions available to interact with? Implement and return true if yes, false otherwise.
override bool	GetCanInteractScript (IEntity controlledEntity)
	Are we allowed to start collecting and processing interactions? Implement custom logic and return true if yes, false otherwise.
override BaseUserAction	GetSelectedActionScript ()
	Currently sected action or null if none.

Detailed Description

Collects interactions by performing a sphere cast initially and then a sphere query at the end.

Iterates through hit entities and tries to find closest entity with ActionsManagerComponent that has a valid context.

Member Function Documentation

CanContextChange()

override bool InteractionHandlerComponent.CanContextChange ( UserActionContext  currentContext, UserActionContext  newContext  )

protected

Called before a context is set to determine whether a change can occur.

Implements ExtBaseInteractionHandlerComponent.

Implemented in SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.

DoIntersectCheck()

override bool InteractionHandlerComponent.DoIntersectCheck ( IEntity  controlledEntity )

protected

Should preferred context collection use intersect checks? This will make a ray check against the context's radius.

This works well in tight places where relying on physical collisions is impossible - e.g. in vehicle interiors.

Implements ExtBaseInteractionHandlerComponent.

Implemented in SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.

GetCanInteractScript()

override bool InteractionHandlerComponent.GetCanInteractScript ( IEntity  controlledEntity )

protected

Are we allowed to start collecting and processing interactions? Implement custom logic and return true if yes, false otherwise.

Parameters

controlledEntity

The entity that wants to be able to interact (player controlled)

Implements ExtBaseInteractionHandlerComponent.

Implemented in SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.

GetIsInteractionAvailableScript()

override bool InteractionHandlerComponent.GetIsInteractionAvailableScript ( )

protected

Are any user actions available to interact with? Implement and return true if yes, false otherwise.

Implements ExtBaseInteractionHandlerComponent.

Implemented in SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.

GetSelectedActionScript()

override BaseUserAction InteractionHandlerComponent.GetSelectedActionScript ( )

protected

Currently sected action or null if none.

Implement and return currently selected action.

Implements ExtBaseInteractionHandlerComponent.

Implemented in SCR_InteractionHandlerComponent.
