each object potentially carries one or more triggers.<\/p>\n
When evaluating triggers, this means iterating through every object available and test for any triggers. That’s the na\u00c3\u00afve approach and has a huge drawback: only a tiny subset of the available objects are interactive and actually carry triggers.<\/p>\n
Having to check every single object is a big performance hit, since we’re performing 99% of unnecessary checks.<\/p>\n
Since the introduction of the action- and trigger-manager classes, continuing to carry trigger-evaluation within the scenegraph-manager has become sub-optimal.<\/p>\n
The new approach would add a method to the trigger manager that checks all of its created triggers for any matches and, if applicable, fires them.<\/p>\n
Since any triggers are instanciated using the manager, we can store their pointers and evaluate them whenever necessary. This is the minimum effort needed for trigger evaluation: perform a check on every (active) trigger that is potentially able to fire.<\/p>\n
A similar mechanism will be implemented in the action-manager: Blended actions shouldn’t be carried within the scenegraph-manager anymore, but should be managed by the action-manager from now on.<\/p>\n
Meaning whenever an action is triggered that is in ‘bleded’ state, it is added to the action-manager’s internal processing list instead, leaving the scenegraph-manager with only having to call the action-manager’s new ‘process’ method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
