Question about NumStateBits in player.h

by Walter Yoon · in Torque Game Engine · 08/17/2005 (5:15 pm) · 2 replies

In player.h, there is the following enumeration:
enum ActionState {
   NullState,
   MoveState,
   RecoverState,
   NumStateBits = 3
};

Does this mean that each ActionState requires its own bit? Or does it mean that the default maximum number of ActionStates is 2^3?

The latter, I suspect. Grepping for NumStateBits should pretty quickly explain the matter.

Well, earlier I did find another NumStateBits definition in shapeBase.h, but it wasn't clear to me whether the definition in player.h would work the same way. I had some previous mixups regarding the three different meanings of "trigger" in Torque, and I'd like to avoid making a similar mistake again for this situation.
