Detailed Description

Structure representing a tag reference.

Tag references allow for tags to reference other tags that are associated with them. For instance, a render_model tag might reference a shader, and shaders might reference bitmaps.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ tag_reference()

tag_reference::tag_reference ( )

Initializes a new tag_reference.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetTagPath()

std::string tag_reference::GetTagPath ( )

Retrieves the path of the tag that this tagref refers to.

Returns: The tag path, or an empty string if the tag could not be identified.

◆ ResolveReference()

bool tag_reference::ResolveReference ( )

Attempts to resolve a tag reference.

This only needs to be performed once per tag reference.

Returns: true if the tagref was resolved successfully, otherwise returns false. If this returns false, then either the tag could not be found, or the tag class was invalid.

Member Data Documentation

◆ class_name

char tag_reference::class_name[4]

The tag class identifier. Will be the short class name.

◆ data_is_tag

bool tag_reference::data_is_tag = false

Whether or not tagref_address points to tag data, or the tag's path.

◆ data_size

int tag_reference::data_size = 0

The size of tagref_address.

◆ identifier

char tag_reference::identifier[8]

The tag reference identifier. Will always be trfd followed by 4 NULL bytes.

◆ padding0

char tag_reference::padding0[4]

Empty padding.

◆ padding1

char tag_reference::padding1[3]

Empty padding. Should always be NULL.

◆ tagref_address

void* tag_reference::tagref_address = nullptr

The address of the tagref data.
