                    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:

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:

host - 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()

Specified by:

invoke in interface Ability

Overrides:

invoke in class StdAbility
