Method Detail

techLevel

int techLevel()

One of the most important methods in the tech game, this denotes the level of technology of the specific instance of this item. Technology progresses ever onward, and the users equipment can become outdated, and be outperformed by items with higher tech level. For that reason, they must constantly be looking to keeping their gear updates.

Returns:

the absolute tech level of this item

See Also:

TechLibrary.getGlobalTechLevel(), setTechLevel(int)

setTechLevel

void setTechLevel(int level)

One of the most important methods in the tech game, this denotes the level of technology of the specific instance of this item. Technology progresses ever onward, and the users equipment can become outdated, and be outperformed by items with higher tech level. For that reason, they must constantly be looking to keeping their gear updates.

Parameters:

level - the absolute tech level of this item

See Also:

TechLibrary.getGlobalTechLevel(), techLevel()

getTechType

Technical.TechType getTechType()

Returns the tech type enum for this technical object, which describes more about its functionality, and is in fact a kind of class proxy. I hope this doesn't bog things down too much.

Returns:

the tech type eum
