Returns:

the displayable name of this object instance

See Also:

Environmental.Name()

displayText

public java.lang.String displayText()

Description copied from interface: Environmental

Gets the raw string used to show what this object looks like in the room. May be used as a basis for other methods, such as the title of rooms, and what an exit looks like when open. The value for Items may be null if the item is not displayed when the room is seen.

Specified by:

displayText in interface Environmental

Overrides:

displayText in class StdAbility

Returns:

the string describing how this object looks in the room

canAffectCode

protected int canAffectCode()

Description copied from class: StdAbility

Designates whether, when used as a property/effect, what sort of objects this ability can affect. Uses the Ability.CAN_* constants.

Overrides:

canAffectCode in class StdSkill

Returns:

a mask showing the type of objects this ability can affect

See Also:

Ability

canTargetCode

protected int canTargetCode()

Description copied from class: StdAbility

Designates whether, when invoked as a skill, what sort of objects this ability can effectively target. Uses the Ability.CAN_* constants.

Overrides:

canTargetCode in class StdSkill

Returns:

a mask showing the type of objects this ability can target

See Also:

Ability

classificationCode

public int classificationCode()

Description copied from interface: Ability

Returns a bitmap describing the general classification of the skill (spell, skill, chant, or property, etc) and its domain. It is made up of the ACODE_* constants the Ability interface, and optionally the DOMAIN_* constants also defined in this interface.

Specified by:

classificationCode in interface Ability

Overrides:

classificationCode in class StdSkill

Returns:

ACODE_* constant classification

See Also:

Ability

abstractQuality

public int abstractQuality()

Description copied from interface: Ability

Returns a constant value notifying the system of the general quality of the skill, whether it is malicious, beneficial, indifferent, or qualifiably beneficial (ok), as well as whether it is intended to target the invoker (self) or others. These constants are defined in the Ability interface and called QUALITY_*

Specified by:

abstractQuality in interface Ability

Overrides:

abstractQuality in class StdAbility

Returns:

Ability.QUALITY_* constant classification

See Also:

Ability

triggerStrings

public java.lang.String[] triggerStrings()

Description copied from interface: Ability

A set of the command strings the user types to access this command when it is listed as a skill ability.

Specified by:

triggerStrings in interface Ability

Overrides:

triggerStrings in class StdAbility

Returns:

an array of command invoking string words

See Also:

Ability.putInCommandlist()

executeMsg

public void executeMsg(Environmental myHost,
                       CMMsg msg)

Description copied from interface: MsgListener

The general message event handler for the object. Messages passed herein may not necessarily be FOR this object, or from it, but will almost always represent events happening in the same room. The messages have already been through an approval process, so this method is called only to affect the final execution of the meaning of the message. Every game event goes through these methods.

Specified by:

executeMsg in interface MsgListener

Overrides:

executeMsg in class StdAbility

Parameters:

myHost - either the initiator of the event, or the host of this object

msg - the CMMsg that needs to be executed

See Also:

CMMsg

okMessage

public boolean okMessage(Environmental myHost,
                         CMMsg msg)

Description copied from interface: MsgListener

The general message event previewer for the object. Messages passed herein are in a pending state, and may be safely modified or rejected without fear that they might be in the middle of being executed. Messages passed herein may not necessarily be FOR or FROM this object, but will almost always represent events which want to happen in the same rom. This method should always always return true UNLESS this message needs to be canceled, in which case it is necessary to tell the mob initiating the event (CMMsg.source()) why it is being cancelled. Every game event goes through these methods.

Specified by:

okMessage in interface MsgListener

Overrides:

okMessage in class StdAbility

Parameters:

myHost - either the initiator of the event, or the host of this object

msg - the CMMsg that wants to be executed

Returns:

whether this message is allowed to execute

See Also:

CMMsg, CMMsg.source()

suckableBrain

public boolean suckableBrain(MOB invoker,
                             MOB mob)

tick

public boolean tick(Tickable ticking,
                    int tickID)

Description copied from interface: Tickable

this is the method which is called periodically by the threading engine. How often it is called depends on the parameters passed to the threadding engine when it is submitted for thread access. Typically the period is once per TIME_TICK period, but that is determined when the object is submitted to the thread engine.

Specified by:

tick in interface Tickable

Overrides:

tick in class StdAbility

Parameters:

ticking - a reference to this Tickable object

tickID - the TICKID_ constant describing this periodic call, as defined in Tickable

Returns:

true always, unless this object no longer wishes to ever tick again, in which case false

See Also:

Tickable, ServiceEngine, TickableGroup

unInvoke

public void unInvoke()

Description copied from interface: Ability

If this skill is uninvokable, this method will uninvoke it, remove it as an effect on the target, and shut it down.

Specified by:

unInvoke in interface Ability

Overrides:

unInvoke in class StdAbility

See Also:

Ability.canBeUninvoked()

affectPhyStats

public void affectPhyStats(Physical affected,
                           PhyStats affectableStats)

Description copied from interface: StatsAffecting

This method is called by the recoverPhyStats() method on other Environmental objects. It is used to transform the Environmental basePhyStats() object into a finished phyStats() object, both of which are objects implementing the PhyStats interface. See those methods for more information.

Specified by:

affectPhyStats in interface StatsAffecting

Overrides:

affectPhyStats in class StdAbility

Parameters:

affected - the host of the PhyStats object being affected

affectableStats - the particular PhyStats object being affected

See Also:

PhyStats, Environmental, Affectable.basePhyStats(), Affectable.phyStats(), Affectable.recoverPhyStats()

castingQuality

public int castingQuality(MOB mob,
                          Physical target)

Description copied from interface: Ability

Serves a purpose similar to that of the Ability abstractQuality() method, but it determines a more exact quality based on a given invoker, target, and assumes an imminent use of the skill. For this reason, the QUALITY_OK_* constants should be avoided in favor of the other Ability.QUALITY_* constants.

Specified by:

castingQuality in interface Ability

Overrides:

castingQuality in class StdAbility

Parameters:

mob - the person to use the skill

target - the potential target -- may be invoker

Returns:

Ability.QUALITY_* constant classification

See Also:

Ability, Ability.abstractQuality()

invoke

public boolean invoke(MOB mob,
                      java.util.List<java.lang.String> commands,
                      Physical givenTarget,
                      boolean auto,
                      int asLevel)

Description copied from interface: Ability

This method is called when a player or the system invokes this skill, casts this spell, etc. Calls the more complete invoke method without an empty command strings vector unless target is non-null, in which case the vector will contain the name of the target.

Specified by:

invoke in interface Ability

Overrides:

invoke in class StdAbility

Parameters:

mob - the player or mob invoking the skill

commands - the parameters entered for the skill (minus trigger word)

givenTarget - null, unless being auto-invoked. Represents an override target.

auto - false if player enters command, true if system invokes the command

asLevel - -1, unless being auto-invoked, when it is the level to invoke it at.

Returns:

whether the skill successfully invoked.
