Miscellaneous Control Functions and Templates

The following functions are available for help with Out of Range Type (ORT) processing.

• CycleTime() - Returns a TimeValue that is the specified time mod the interval length. The returned time is somewhere within the interval passed. This cycles the time so that is appears within the interval.
• NumCycles() - Returns the number of times the TimeValue cycles through the interval.
• TestInverval() - Takes an interval and checks the flags and modifies the interval based on the state of the flags.

• ScaleQuat() - Returns a quaternion scaled by the specified factor. This scales the 'angle' of the quaternion.

Template Functions

These template functions require types that support the following operators:

• T + T
• T - T
• T * float

• T + float.

Note that these template functions work with quaternions.

• LinearExtrapolate() - Performs a linear extrapolation and returns the result.
• RepeatExtrapolate() - Performs a repeat extrapolation and returns the result. This will cycle the time t into the interval range.

• IdentityExtrapolate() - Performs a linear extrapolation using a slope of one and a point and returns the result.
