Method Detail

init

public void init(BodyObject self,
                 GameConfig config,
                 GameManager gmgr,
                 DObjectManager omgr)

Initializes the simulant with a body object and the game config for the game they'll be engaged in.

willEnterPlace

public void willEnterPlace(PlaceObject plobj)

Called when the simulant is about to enter the room in which it will be doing all of its business. Default implementation immediately notifies the game manager that the simulant is ready to play. Sub-classes may wish to override this to do things like subscribe to the game object, but should be sure to call this method when they're finished to give the game manager the go-ahead to proceed.

postEvent

protected void postEvent(MessageEvent mevt)

Posts the given message event to the server. Since the simulant resides within the server itself, it has no available client distributed object manager and so we must set up the source oid ourselves before sending it on its merry way. Sub-classes should accordingly be sure to make use of this method to send any messages.
