Purge base's cache

This template is used to generate class hierarchy for an entity.

Usage

{{CD|<entity_class>|file1=<file_where_the_class_is_defined_in>}}

Tip:If the template fails for some classname try using Template:CD2 (usage same as shown above)

• {{{1}}} - <entity_class>, using ??? will add hidden Category:Unknown Classname to the page.

• If {{{file1}}} param is specified there will be lookup using the classname specified in {{{1}}} into Template:CD/classlink to automatically link to Valve Source SDK 2013 githup repo (multiplayer files are linked)

• {{{goldsrc}}} - should be used when adding class hierarchy for GoldSrc entities. It adds ' (GoldSrc)' to all links and the lookup for file link will use Template:CD/classlink/hl.
• If nothing is found during the file link lookup or {{{nolink}}} is specified then file1 or goldsrc param are shown as they were specified. If neither file1 or goldsrc params were specified then automatic file link lookup won't be done at all.

• {{{base}}} can be specified to explicitly choose the superclass which can be useful in case there isn't the desired class in Template:CD/superclass or it is defined there but it's already used for something else.

Examples and Parameters

{{CD|CGasCan|file1=somefile.cpp}}	Class hierarchy CGasCan ↳CCarriedPropWeapon ↳CCarriedProp ↳CBaseBackpackItem ↳CTerrorWeapon ↳CWeaponCSBase ↳CBaseCombatWeapon ↳CBaseAnimating ↳CBaseEntity somefile.cpp
{{CD|CPhysicsProp|file1=1}}	Class hierarchy CPhysicsProp ↳CBreakableProp ↳CBaseProp ↳CBaseAnimating ↳CBaseEntity props.cpp
{{CD|unknown class|base=CDynamicProp}}	Class hierarchy unknown class ↳CDynamicProp ↳CBreakableProp ↳CBaseProp ↳CBaseAnimating ↳CBaseEntity

Template performance

CD2 repeatedly calls Template:CD/superclass to build the hierarchy

CD calls that once and then builds the rest from smaller defined templates like Template:CD CPointEntity

specifying the base parameter avoids the first Template:CD/superclass call which makes it stuff even faster

Tests:

{{CD2|Hunter}} CPU time: ~0.26s

{{CD|Hunter}} CPU time: ~0.1s

{{CD|Hunter|base=BossZombiePlayerBot}} CPU time: ~0.03s

Hunter class hierarchy
