Definition

template <class classType> class MethodReg : public MethodRegistration

Template Parameters
classType The custom method class.
Constructor

MethodReg(MethodType type, const char *name, uint32 flags = 0, MethodGroup group = 0);

Parameters
type The method type.
name The method name.
flags The method flags. See below for possible values.
group The group to which the method belongs. This should be 0 for all custom methods.
Description
The MethodReg template class is used to advertise the existence of a custom script method type. The World Manager uses a method registration to construct a custom method, and the Script Editor displays a list of registered methods. The act of instantiating a MethodReg object automatically registers the corresponding method type. The method type is unregistered when the MethodReg object is destroyed.

The flags parameter specifies special properties of the method type and can be a combination (through logical OR) of the following constants.
kMethodNoTarget The method does not operate on a target node. This flag prevents a target node from being assigned in the Script Editor.
kMethodNoSelfTarget The method cannot operate on the node to which its script controller is attached. This flag prevents the controller target from being selected as the target node in the Script Editor.
kMethodNoMessage The method does not generate any controller messages. This flag prevents a generic controller from being assigned to the target node in the Script Editor.
kMethodOutputValue The method generates an output value that can be stored in a script variable. This flag allows an output variable to be assigned in the Script Editor.
No more than one method registration should be created for each distinct method type.
