Member Function Documentation

virtual void UPennWalkControllerBehavior::doEvent ( ) [virtual]

The only event we could possibly receive is the stop-if-no-heartbeat timer.

Reimplemented from BehaviorBase.

Definition at line 87 of file UPennWalkControllerBehavior.h.

virtual void UPennWalkControllerBehavior::doStart ( ) [virtual]

Delegate function for subclasses to be notified when the behavior starts up.

Should be overridden by subclasses to subscribe to events, install motion commands, etc.

doStart() is basically a hook to allow subclasses to jump in and do some customization of behavior parameters while the behavior is starting. If you are writing a behavior class and do not expect further derivation, just override doStart() yourself. However, if you do expect further derivation of your class, consider using preStart() or postStart() instead, and leave doStart() for the 'leaf' classes.

Reimplemented from BehaviorBase.

virtual void UPennWalkControllerBehavior::doStop ( ) [virtual]

Delegate function for subclasses to be notified when the behavior starts up.

May be overridden to cleanup when the behavior is shutting down. However events will automatically be unsubscribed, and by using addMotion(), motions will automatically be removed by stop(), so you may not need any cleanup.

Reimplemented from BehaviorBase.

static std::string UPennWalkControllerBehavior::getClassDescription ( ) [static]

Gives a short description of what this class of behaviors does... you should override this (but don't have to).

If you do override this, also consider overriding getDescription() to return it

Reimplemented from BehaviorBase.

Definition at line 92 of file UPennWalkControllerBehavior.h.

Referenced by getDescription().

virtual std::string UPennWalkControllerBehavior::getDescription ( ) const [virtual]

Gives a short description of what this particular instantiation does (in case a more specific description is needed on an individual basis).

By default simply returns getName(), because any calls from a BehaviorBase function to getClassDescription() are going to call BehaviorBase::getClassDescription(), not ~YourSubClass~getClassDescription(), because static functions can't be virtual in C++ (doh!)

This means that getDescription called on a pointer to a BehaviorBase of unknown subtype would always return an empty string, which is pretty useless. So instead we return the name in this situation. If you want getDescription to return getClassDescription, you'll have to override it in your subclass to do so.

Reimplemented from BehaviorBase.

virtual MotionManager::MC_ID UPennWalkControllerBehavior::getWalkID ( ) [virtual]

returns the current Walk's MotionCommand ID

Definition at line 84 of file UPennWalkControllerBehavior.h.

Referenced by doEvent().

virtual UPennWalkMC* UPennWalkControllerBehavior::getWalkMC ( ) [virtual]

returns the WalkMC which [will be|is being] used

Definition at line 82 of file UPennWalkControllerBehavior.h.

static int UPennWalkControllerBehavior::mechacmd_callback	(	char *	buf,
		int	bytes
	)			`[static]`

void UPennWalkControllerBehavior::runCommand ( unsigned char * command ) [private]
