Specified by:

autoInvocation in interface Ability

Overrides:

autoInvocation in class StdAbility

Parameters:

mob - the player or npc mob who has this ability

force - if the skill has default-off settings, this overrides to ON

public boolean tick(Tickable ticking,
                    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:

true always, unless this object no longer wishes to ever tick again, in which case false

See Also:

Specified by:

invoke in interface Ability

Overrides:

invoke in class StdAbility

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

asLevel - -1, unless being auto-invoked, when it is the level to invoke it at.

Returns:

whether the skill successfully invoked.
