ID

public java.lang.String ID()

Description copied from interface: CMObject

The CoffeeMud Java Class ID shared by all instances of this object. Unlike the Java Class name, this method does not include package information.

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:

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 ThiefSkill

Returns:

a mask showing the type of objects this ability can target

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 ThiefSkill

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:

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

CMMsg, CMMsg.source()

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()

                      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 ThiefSkill

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

Returns:

whether the skill successfully invoked.
