Actions Documentation

Compare(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action compares two object hash codes and returns an integer. The result is larger if this hash code is larger than the object passed as a parameter, smaller, or equal. In this case, -1 means smaller, 0 means equal, and 1 means larger. This action was changed in Quorum 7 to return an integer, instead of a CompareResult object, because the previous implementation was causing efficiency issues.

Parameters

Return

integer: The Compare result, Smaller, Equal, or Larger.

Example

Object o
Object t
integer result = o:Compare(t) //1 (larger), 0 (equal), or -1 (smaller)

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

This action determines if two objects are equal based on their hash code values.

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

Example

use Libraries.Language.Object
use Libraries.Language.Types.Text
Object o
Text t
boolean result = o:Equals(t)

GetDialogLayer()

This action returns a DialogLayer that is ready for use. It will return an old DialogLayer that has been recycled if possible, or a new one if no old layer is available.

Return

Libraries.Game.DialogLayer:

GetHashCode()

This action gets the hash code for an object.

Return

integer: The integer hash code of the object.

Example

Object o
integer hash = o:GetHashCode()

Recycle(Libraries.Game.DialogLayer layer)

This action informs the pool that a DialogLayer can be reused later. This should only be called on DialogLayers that are not in use anymore, and this will reset the DialogLayer. This is called automatically on a DialogLayer when the corresponding Dialog is hidden.
