ObjectDescription

protected ObjectDescription(String id,
                            int z,
                            Region pr,
                            boolean sensitive)

Method Detail

createObject

public abstract void createObject(SceneManager sm,
                                  VirtualSpace vs,
                                  boolean fadeIn)

Called automatically by scene manager. Can be called by client application to force loading of objects not actually visible.

destroyObject

public abstract void destroyObject(SceneManager sm,
                                   VirtualSpace vs,
                                   boolean fadeOut)

Called automatically by scene manager. Can be called by client application to force unloading of objects still visible.

setSensitive

public void setSensitive(boolean b)

Should the object be sensitive to cursor entry/exit.

isSensitive

public boolean isSensitive()

Is the object sensitive to cursor entry/exit.

getGlyph

public abstract Glyph getGlyph()

Get Glyph described by this description.

Returns:

might return null if the description has not been loaded. This depends on the type of ObjectDescription.

getZindex

public int getZindex()

Get z-index for this object.

setZindex

protected void setZindex(int i)

getParentRegion

public Region getParentRegion()

Get Region this object belongs to.

setParentRegion

protected void setParentRegion(Region pr)

setTakesTo

public void setTakesTo(String id,
                       short t)

Should take/"transport" to object/region whose ID is id

Parameters:

id - set to null if should not take anywhere

takesTo

public String takesTo()

Get the ID of object where this one takes/"transports" to.

Returns:

null if none

takesToType

public short takesToType()

Returns:

one of SceneManager.{TAKES_TO_OBJECT, TAKES_TO_REGION}

getID

public String getID()

Get this object description's ID.

getX

public abstract double getX()

Get x-coordinate of object in virtual space.

getY

public abstract double getY()

Get y-coordinate of object in virtual space.

moveTo

public abstract void moveTo(double x,
                            double y)
