Detailed Description

Handles gradient sampling requests based on up to 3 data points such as X,Y,Z. This bus uses shared dispatches, which means that all requests on the bus can run in parallel, but will NOT run in parallel with bus connections / disconnections.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetValue()

virtual float GradientSignal::GradientRequests::GetValue ( const GradientSampleParams &  sampleParams) const
pure virtual

Given a certain position, generate a value. Implementations of this need to be thread-safe without using locks, as it can get called from both the Main thread and the Vegetation thread simultaneously, and has the potential to cause lock inversion deadlocks.

Returns
a value generated using the position

◆ GetValues()

virtual void GradientSignal::GradientRequests::GetValues ( AZStd::span< const AZ::Vector3 >  positions,
AZStd::span< float >  outValues 
) const
inlinevirtual

Given a list of positions, generate values. Implementations of this need to be thread-safe without using locks, as it can get called from multiple threads simultaneously and has the potential to cause lock inversion deadlocks.

Parameters
positionsThe input list of positions to query.
outValuesThe output list of values. This list is expected to be the same size as the positions list.

◆ IsEntityInHierarchy()

virtual bool GradientSignal::GradientRequests::IsEntityInHierarchy ( const AZ::EntityId &  entityId) const
inlinevirtual

Call to check the hierarchy to see if a given entityId exists in the gradient signal chain
