Method Details

registerCustomCreatureType

public static <T extends Creature> void registerCustomCreatureType(Class<T> creatureType)

Registers a custom Creature implementation that can be automatically provided by this MapObjectLoader.

This should only be used if the particular implementation doesn't require any additional map object properties to be initialized.

Make sure that the implementation has the following present:

1. An AnimationInfo annotation with one or more sprite prefixes defined
2. Either an empty constructor or a constructor that takes in the sprite prefix from the loader.

The latter is particularly useful for classes that can have different sprite sheets, i.e. share the same logic but might have a different appearance.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the custom creature implementation.

Parameters:

creatureType - The class of the custom Creature implementation.

registerMapObjectImplementation

public static <T extends Creature> void registerMapObjectImplementation(String id,
 Class<T> creatureType)

load

public Collection<IEntity> load(Environment environment,
 IMapObject mapObject)

Description copied from interface: IMapObjectLoader

Loads entities from the specified map object within the given environment.

Parameters:

environment - The environment in which the entities are being loaded.

mapObject - The map object containing the data for the entities.

Returns:

A collection of IEntity instances loaded from the map object.

createNewCreature

protected Creature createNewCreature(Environment environment,
 IMapObject mapObject,
 String spriteSheet)
