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()

isLocalExempt

                                  MOB target)

spring

public void spring(MOB mob)
Description copied from interface: Trap
This method causes this trap to take affect against the given target. The type of effect can differ from trap to trap.

Specified by:
spring in interface Trap
Parameters:
mob - the target of the effect
See Also:
Trap.sprung()

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

unInvoke

Specified by:
unInvoke in interface Ability
Overrides:
unInvoke in class StdAbility
See Also:
Ability.canBeUninvoked()

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

                      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 Spell

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.
