This function loads a prefab from a .pfb prefab file. When the prefab is loaded, any entities in the hierarchy with a script attached to them will have the Start() function called.

Syntax

• static Entity* Load(const std::string& path, int flags=Map::LoadScripts)

Parameters

• path: the file to load the prefab from.
• flags: asset load flags. In addition to the standard Asset and Map load flags, this can also include the value Prefab::NoStartCall, which will prevent execution of the "Start" function. Note that the flags parameter must include Map::LoadScripts if you want the prefab script to be loaded.

Returns

Returns an entity if the prefab is successfully loaded, otherwise NULL is returned.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
        Context* context = Context::Create(window);
        World* world = World::Create();
        Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
        camera->SetRotation(35, 0, 0);
        camera->Move(0, 0, -6);
        Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
        light->SetRotation(35, 35, 0);

        //Create the ground
        Model* ground = Model::Box(10, 1, 10);
        ground->SetPosition(0, -0.5, 0);
        ground->SetColor(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);

        //Create a shape
        Shape* shape = Shape::Box(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 10, 1, 10);
        ground->SetShape(shape);
        shape->Release();

        //Load a prefab
        Prefab::Load("Prefabs/Effects/smoke.pfb");

        while (true)
        {
                if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;
                Leadwerks::Time::Update();
                world->Update();
                world->Render();
                context->Sync();
        }
        return 0;
