EPOK RUNTIME
Method · 1 overload
Starts on start as part of the object model module.
bool play_on_start() constStarts on start as part of the object model module.
This overload takes no parameters.
Returns: bool. Check the value before continuing when it represents success, availability or a resource handle.
#include "object_model.hpp"
epok::AudioComponent& object = /* obtain a valid instance */;
auto result = object.play_on_start();The method is `const`, so it does not mutate the object through this API surface. The boolean result makes success, availability or state explicit without exceptions. The API exposes the hardware service without hiding latency or bounded memory.
Check the return value; `false` is part of normal control flow for many PSX resource operations. Treat device absence, busy state and I/O failure as expected outcomes; do not block the frame loop waiting for hardware.

begin_playplay_on_start policy.Methodbind_localPerforms `bind local` as part of the object model module.Methodbind_slotBind to the legacy slot's AudioSource, or to component-owned storage.Methodclass_idPerforms `class id` as part of the object model module.MethodclipPerforms `clip` as part of the object model module.MethodenabledPerforms `enabled` as part of the object model module.Methodend_playEnds play as part of the object model module.Methodentity_slotPerforms `entity slot` as part of the object model module.Methodis_playingReports whether playing as part of the object model module.Methodon_disableDeactivation and teardown stop both kinds: lifecycle.hpp::set_active stops a legacy slot's audio through the slot table, and stopping an already stopped source is a no-op, so the two paths are idempotent rather than conflicting.Methodowns_sourceTrue only for component-owned storage.MethodpitchPerforms `pitch` as part of the object model module.Method
