See Also:

Ability

classificationCode

public int classificationCode()

Description copied from interface: Ability

Returns a bitmap describing the general classification of the skill (spell, skill, chant, or property, etc) and its domain. It is made up of the ACODE_* constants the Ability interface, and optionally the DOMAIN_* constants also defined in this interface.

Specified by:

classificationCode in interface Ability

Overrides:

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:

triggerStrings in interface Ability

Overrides:

triggerStrings in class StdAbility

Returns:

an array of command invoking string words

See Also:

Ability.putInCommandlist()

usageType

public int usageType()

Description copied from interface: Ability

Returns a bitmap made up of constants defined by Ability.USAGE_*. It lets the system know which of the values in the usageCost(MOB,boolean) method are relevant. It determines whether this skill requires mana, movement, hit points, or some combination of the three.

Specified by:

usageType in interface Ability

Overrides:

usageType in class StdAbility

Returns:

a bitmap defined by Ability.USAGE_*

affectPhyStats

public void affectPhyStats(Physical affected,
                           PhyStats affectableStats)

Description copied from interface: StatsAffecting

This method is called by the recoverPhyStats() method on other Environmental objects. It is used to transform the Environmental basePhyStats() object into a finished phyStats() object, both of which are objects implementing the PhyStats interface. See those methods for more information.

Specified by:

affectPhyStats in interface StatsAffecting

Overrides:

affectPhyStats in class StdAbility

Parameters:

affected - the host of the PhyStats object being affected

affectableStats - the particular PhyStats object being affected

See Also:

PhyStats, Environmental, Affectable.basePhyStats(), Affectable.phyStats(), Affectable.recoverPhyStats()

tick

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:

Tickable, ServiceEngine, TickableGroup

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

See Also:

CMMsg, CMMsg.source()

                      boolean auto,
                      int asLevel)

Description copied from interface: Ability

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)
