Identifier.h @ 2736

Last change on this file since 2736 was 2485, checked in by landauf, 16 years ago

Merged objecthierarchy2 into presentation branch

Couln't merge 2 lines in Gamestate.cc and a whole block of code in GSDedicated.cc (it seems like oli implemented in both branches something like a network-tick-limiter but with different approaches)

Not yet tested in network mode and with bots
The SpaceShips movement is also not yet fully adopted to the new physics (see Engine class)

Property svn:eol-style set to native

30	@file
31	@brief Definition of the Identifier, ClassIdentifier and SubclassIdentifier classes, implementation of the ClassIdentifier and SubclassIdentifier classes.
32
33	The Identifier contains all needed informations about the class it belongs to:
34	- the name
35	- a list with all objects
36	- parents and children
37	- the factory (if available)
38	- the networkID that can be synchronised with the server
39	- all configurable variables (if available)
40
41	Every object has a pointer to the Identifier of its class. This allows the use isA(...),
42	isExactlyA(...), isChildOf(...) and isParentOf(...).
43
44	To create the class-hierarchy, the Identifier has some intern functions and variables.
45
46	Every Identifier is in fact a ClassIdentifier, but they are derived from Identifier.
47
48	SubclassIdentifier is a separated class, acting like an Identifier, but has a given class.
49	You can only assign Identifiers of exactly the given class or of a derivative to a SubclassIdentifier.
