Constructable::InstallConstructor

Defined in: C4Construction.h

Installs a constructor object for application-defined subclasses of the template parameter.

Prototype

static void InstallConstructor(Constructor<type, param> *constructor);

Parameters

constructor A pointer to the Constructor object corresponding to the template parameter.

Description

The InstallConstructor function installs a constructor object whose responsibility it is to create new instances of application-defined subclasses of the template parameter. The Constructor object encapsulates a function that is called by the engine when it encounters a custom type.

Once the Constructor object is installed, it must continue to exist in order to function. A Constructor object is uninstalled by simply deleting it.
