Node::Preprocess

Defined in: C4Node.h

Performs any preprocessing that a node needs to do before being used in a world.

Prototype

virtual void Preprocess(void);

Description

The Preprocess function performs any preprocessing that a node needs to do before being used in a world. Whenever a node is added to a scene, it should subsequently be preprocessed. Calling the Node::AddNewSubnode function to add a node to a scene is equivalent to calling Tree::AddSubnode and following it with a call to Preprocess.

Whenever a subclass implements an override for the Preprocess function, it should always call the Preprocess function of its direct base class first.
