Properties

includeInUndoOVERRIDDEN action.t[1009]

A SystemAction is not normally undo-able

isRepeatableOVERRIDDEN action.t[1012]

A SystemAction is not normally repeatable

timeTakenOVERRIDDEN objtime.t[226]

For OBJTIME extension; a SystemAction shouldn't normally take any game clock time.

turnsTakenOVERRIDDEN action.t[1031]

A SystemAction doesn't take any turns (this is a bit belt-and-braces since turnSequence does nothing in any case).

Methods

afterAction ( )OVERRIDDEN action.t[1018]

Since a SystemAction isn't an action in the game world, we don't want it to trigger any after action notifications.

exec (cmd)OVERRIDDEN action.t[1037]

Since this isn't an action within the game world we bypass all the normal pre-action handling and just execute a reduced cycle.

execCycle (cmd)OVERRIDDEN action.t[1044]

There's no before notifications for a SystemAction so we simply execute the action and, if we should define it as repeatable, make a note of it in case the player issues an AGAIN command on the next turn.

getInputFile (prompt, dialogType, fileType, flags) action.t[1078]

Ask for an input file. We call the input manager, which displays the appropriate local file selector dialog. This is used for SystemActions that need a file to act on, such as SAVE, RESTORE and QUIT.

turnSequence ( )OVERRIDDEN action.t[1025]

Since a SystemAction isn't an action in the game world, we don't want it to count as a turn, so we don't run any Daemons or Fuses and we don't advance the turn count.
