ID

public java.lang.String ID()

Description copied from interface: CMObject

The CoffeeMud Java Class ID shared by all instances of this object. Unlike the Java Class name, this method does not include package information. However, it must return a String value unique to its class category in the ClassLoader. Class categories include Libraries, Common, Areas, Abilities, Behaviors, CharClasses, Commands, Exits Locales, MOBS, Races, WebMacros, Basic Items, Armor, Weapons, ClanItems, MiscTech. The name is typically identical to the class name.

Specified by:

ID in interface CMObject

Overrides:

ID in class CommonSkill

Returns:

the name of this class

name

public java.lang.String name()

Description copied from interface: Environmental

The displayable name of this object. May be modified by phyStats() object. Is derived from the Name().

Specified by:

name in interface Environmental

Specified by:

name in interface Tickable

Overrides:

name in class CommonSkill

Returns:

the modified final name of this object on the map.

See Also:

Environmental.Name()

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:

classificationCode in class CommonSkill

Returns:

ACODE_* constant classification

triggerStrings

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 CommonSkill

Returns:

an array of command invoking string words

See Also:

Ability.putInCommandlist()

affectCharStats

public void affectCharStats(MOB affected,
                            CharStats affectableStats)

Description copied from interface: StatsAffecting

This method is called by the recoverCharStats() method on other MOB objects. It is used to transform the MOB baseCharStats() object into a finished charStats() object, both of which are objects implementing the CharStats interface. See those methods for more information.

Specified by:

affectCharStats in interface StatsAffecting

Overrides:

affectCharStats in class StdAbility

Parameters:

affected - the host of the CharStats object being affected

affectableStats - the particular CharStats object being affected

See Also:

CharStats, MOB, MOB.baseCharStats(), MOB.charStats(), MOB.recoverCharStats()

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 CommonSkill

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

affectPhyStats

public void affectPhyStats(Physical affectedEnv,
                           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:

affectedEnv - 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()

invoke

                      java.util.Vector commands,
                      Physical givenTarget,
                      boolean auto,
                      int asLevel)
