=head1 CROSSFIRE PLUG-IN EVENTS |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This document briefly describes each plug-in event. It is also used to |
| 4 |
generate the event-list itself, so is always complete. Be careful wehn |
| 5 |
changing it, though. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
=head2 NOTATION |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
the event description below uses a variant of the forth stack notation - |
| 10 |
an opening parenthesis followed by the type of each parameter, optionally |
| 11 |
followed by two dashes and the returning parameters. If the latter is |
| 12 |
missing, the event will be invoked but cannot change wether the event gets |
| 13 |
processed. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If it is specified (even if no return values are supported), a plug-in |
| 16 |
can override (e.g. using C<cf::override> in Perl) event processing, |
| 17 |
basically short-circuiting it. For example, if you override from within a |
| 18 |
player BIRTH event, nothing much will happen with respect to the built-in |
| 19 |
processing, but if you override from within a player TELL event, the tell |
| 20 |
will be ignored (presumably your plug-in took care of it). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
=head2 OBJECT EVENTS |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Object events always relate to a specific object, which is always the |
| 26 |
first argument. Not all events get generated for every object, some are |
| 27 |
specific to an object type. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
=head3 instantiate (object init-args...) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
An archetype was instantiated into an object. This event occurs when |
| 32 |
a map is loaded for the first time, or when the object was created |
| 33 |
dynamically. The arguments are as specified in the C<attach> attribute of |
| 34 |
the object or archetype. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
This is useful to initialise any per-object state you might need. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
=head3 reattach (object) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Invoked whenever attachments/plug-ins need to get reattached to the |
| 41 |
object. This usually happens when it was loaded from disk, or when the |
| 42 |
server was reloaded. This event will only be generated if the object has |
| 43 |
attachments. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
=head3 clone (object destination) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
An object with _attached extension_ is cloned, that is, a copy was |
| 48 |
made. The copy automatically has all attachments the original object |
| 49 |
had. The perl variables get copied in a shallow way (references are shared |
| 50 |
between instances). If this is not the behaviour you need, you have to |
| 51 |
adjust the B<destination> object as you see fit. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
=head3 destroy (object) |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Invoked when the crossfire object gets destroyed, and only when the object |
| 56 |
has a handler for this event. This event can occur many times, as its |
| 57 |
called when the in-memory object is destroyed, not when the object itself |
| 58 |
dies. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
=head3 tick (object) |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Invoked whenever the object "ticks", i.e. has positive B<speed_left>. Only |
| 63 |
during ticks should an objetc process any movement or other events. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
=head3 kill (object hitter -- ) |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Invoked whenever an object is dead and about to get removed. Overriding |
| 68 |
processing will skip removal, but to do this successfully you have to |
| 69 |
objetc from dieing, otherwise the event gets invoked again and again. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
=head3 apply (object who -- applytype) |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Invoked whenever the object is being applied in some way. The applytype is one of: |

| 99 |
object B<who> and return reason otherwise. Reason is a bitset composed of |
