1035 | |
|
|
1036 | A lamp consists of two archetypes: the 'on' archetype and the 'off' archetype. |
|
|
1037 | Each of them should point at the other one with it's I<other_arch> field. |

1045 | If FLAG_CHANGING is set the I<speed> field will indicate how fast the |

|
|
1047 | |
|
|
1048 | Setting FLAG_CHANGING makes only sense on the archetype which represents |
|
|
1049 | the 'on' state of the lamp. |
|
|
1050 | |
|
|
1051 | See also the description of FLAG_CHANGING. |
|
|
1052 | |
|
|
1053 | Lamps which have no FLAG_CHANGING set would also make sense and represent |
|

1054 | lamps that never burn up. |

1058 | This is the field that points to the 'other' archetype which represents the |
|
|
1059 | opposite state of the lamp. The newly from I<other_arch> derived object will |
|
|
1060 | replace the current object and will get the value of I<food> of the replaced object. |
|
|
1061 | |
|
|
1062 | Rationale: |
|
|
1063 | |
|
|
1064 | When the lamp (on) is applied a new object is derived from the archetype |
|
|
1065 | in I<other_arch> and the I<food> value is copied to it ('the fuel is |
|
|
1066 | transferred'). The new lamp (off) object has to have a I<other_arch> field |
|
|
1067 | which points to the archetype from which a lamp (on) can be derived. |
