Actions Documentation

Add(integer index, Libraries.Interface.Item2D newItem)

This action adds a different Item2D into this one, storing the added Item2D at a specific index in the internal array.

Parameters

Example

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

Item2D parentItem
Item2D child
parentItem:Add(0, child)

Add(Libraries.Interface.Item2D newItem)

This action adds a different Item2D into this one. This makes a few things happen. 1. The added item will get this item as its parent. 2. The added item's x and y coordinates will become relative to this Item. 3. Most actions on this Item will also affect the added Item.

Parameters

Example

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

Item2D parentItem
Item2D child
parentItem:Add(child)

AddBehavior(Libraries.Interface.Behaviors.Behavior behavior)

AreChildrenProcessingMouseEvents()

This action returns whether or not this Item is allowing its children to receive mouse events if the Item is custom drawing. If the Item isn't using custom drawing, this value is irrelevant -- children objects always receive mouse events before the parent if the parent isn't performing custom drawing.

Return

boolean:

BeginCollision(Libraries.Interface.Item item)

This action is used to indicate that two items have just begun colliding. When two Items collide, the BeginCollision action should be called on both of them, with the other item passed as a parameter to the action. Note that this action does nothing by default, but classes that inherit from Item may override it.

Parameters

Example

use Libraries.Interface.Item

Item collider1
Item collider2
collider1:BeginCollision(collider2)
collider2:BeginCollision(collider1)

BeginMouseOver()

CanRotate(boolean flag)

This action gets the position of the center of this item in global (world) coordinates.

Parameters

  • boolean flag

CancelBehaviors()

This action stops all behaviors this Item is following without finishing them.

ClickedMouse()

CollideWithChildren()

This action sets the mass, mass moment of inertia, and how the 2D item should move (via linear velocity) to be at the desired location.

Return

boolean:

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)

ComputeDistance(Libraries.Compute.Vector2 point, integer childIndex, Libraries.Compute.Vector2 normalOut)

This action computes the distance of the passed point from the collision shape attached to this item. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action.

Parameters

  • Libraries.Compute.Vector2: The vector representing the point to compute the distance from
  • integer childIndex: The index of the collision shape attached to this item we want the bounding box of
  • Libraries.Compute.Vector2: The direction of the point from the shape

Return

number: The distance of the point from the collision shape of this item

Contains(number containsX, number containsY)

This action tests if a point in global x,y coordinates is contained inside this Item2D. The global coordinates are considered to be the x and y coordinates of this Item plus its offsetX and offsetY values.

Parameters

  • number containsX
  • number containsY

Return

boolean: Whether or not the point is contained in this Item.

Example

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

Item2D item
item:SetPosition(50, 50)
item:SetWidth(100)
item:SetHeight(50)
boolean value = item:Contains(125, 70)

CopyTextureRegion(Libraries.Game.Graphics.TextureRegion region, integer x, integer y, integer width, integer height)

This action copies the information from a given TextureRegion at the given coordinates to the given width and height onto this TextureRegion.

Parameters

CopyTextureRegion(Libraries.Game.Graphics.TextureRegion region)

This action copies the information from the given TextureRegion into this TextureRegion.

Parameters

CreateNodes(Libraries.Game.Collision.BroadphaseCollision2D broadphase, Libraries.Game.Collision.PhysicsPosition2D transform)

This action creates the nodes for this item for the broadphase collision. This action is needed in order to add the item to the collision detection system. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action.

Parameters

DestroyNodes(Libraries.Game.Collision.BroadphaseCollision2D broadphase)

This action destroys the nodes for this item for the broadphase collision, essentially removing it from the collision detection system. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action.

Parameters

Dispose()

The Dispose action will dispose the currently loaded texture. This frees up computer resources, but the texture will no longer be usable. Note that multiple Drawables can use the same texture, and disposing of it will get rid of the texture information not just for this Drawable, but any Drawable that is using the texture. Dispose should be used when a texture will not be used again. Here are some guide lines for when you should or should not dispose a Drawable: 1. If the Drawable was loaded using Load(text) or Load(File), then the Drawable created new texture data when it was loaded. This can be safely disposed, unless you copied the Drawable, e.g. with Load(Drawable). 2. If the Drawable was loaded as a shape, e.g. with the LoadRectangle action, the Drawable created new texture data when it loaded. It can be safely disposed, unless you copied the Drawable, e.g. with Load(Drawable). 3. If the Drawable was loaded using a Texture or a TextureRegion, such as with the Load(Texture) action, then it is NOT safe to dispose this if there are any other Drawables that are still in use which were also loaded with the same Texture. If there are no other Drawables that were loaded with the Texture, it is safe to dispose. If a texture was used to load multiple Drawables, it is good practice to use the Dispose action directly from the Texture once all of the Drawables are no longer in use. 4. If the Drawable was loaded with an ImageSheet, you should NEVER dispose the Drawable's texture. All Drawables loaded from an ImageSheet use the same Texture data, so disposing of any Drawable from an ImageSheet will delete the ImageSheet's texture data. If you ever wish to dispose an ImageSheet's texture data, it is good practice to use the ImageSheet's Dispose action.

Example

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Drawable
use Libraries.Game.Game

class Main is Game

    action Main
        StartGame()
    end

    action CreateGame
        Drawable drawable
        drawable:LoadFilledCircle(75)
        Add(drawable)

        // When we no longer need the Drawable, we can remove it from
        // the Game, and then Dispose it to clean up the memory it used.
        Remove(drawable)
        drawable:Dispose()
    end

end

DisposeAll()

This action is used to call Dispose on this Item and on the entire children hierarchy of this Item.

DisposeChildren()

This action is used to call Dispose on the entire children hierarchy of this Item. This will not call Dispose on this Item.

Draw(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Painter2D painter)

The Draw action is used to perform custom drawing on this Item and its children. This is only called during the Game engine's draw phase if this Item has enabled custom drawing via the SetCustomDrawing action. This is an advanced feature, and shouldn't be used by most users. If custom drawing is enabled, this action should be overriden -- if it isn't, the Item will attempt to provide default rendering for itself, its view, and its children, without regard to depth buffering. This action is responsible for instructing the provided Painter on how to draw this item, the view, and its children, and in what order to do so.

Parameters

Empty()

This action will remove all items from this item's children hierarchy. Note that this will not empty the hierarchies of t
