virtual Ogre::ManualObject::_updateRenderQueue

[KungFooMasta]

Can we make this function virtual, so that I can override it? Currently the ManualObject and MovableObject classes doesn't have any methods to set the render queue priority. I want to make use of ManualObjects to replace my use of Overlays, but I need to be able to set the render priority to have zOrdering.

I want to be able to have this called:

Code: Select all

void  addRenderable (Renderable *pRend, uint8 groupID, ushort priority) 

So again, I'm requesting we throw in the "virtual" keyword in front of the _updateRenderQueue from the ManualObject class.

Or if we could add in the ability to set the priority of the ManualObject, that would work well. All we would need to add is a function to get/set priority, and have a bool to moniter whether the user has specified a priority for this object. Then in the _updateRenderQueue function, we can check if the user has supplied a Group and priority, and call the appropriate function.

Basically, I would like to use the ManualObject to create 2d quads, but it lacks the ability to set render priority. I tried copying and pasting the ManualObject class to make a slightly modified one, but there is so much that needs to be done... creating a factory for it, registering the factory, etc.

You don't need to. It's already virtual by nature of being inherited from MovableObject, where it is defined virtual.
