a data converter for this type of object
a data converter for this type of object
Associate an object's canned in-game representation with its basic game identification unit. The extension of this
class
would identify the common data necessary to construct such a given game object.The converter transforms a game object that is created by this
ObjectDefinition
into packet data through method-calls. The field for this converter is aPacketConverter
, the superclass forObjectCreateConverter
; the type of the mutator's parameter isObjectCreateConverter
of a wildcardtparam
; and, the accessor return type isObjectCreateConverter[PlanetSideGameObject]
, a minimum-true statement. The actual type of the converter at a given point, casted or otherwise, is mostly meaningless. Casting the external object does not mutate any of the types used by the methods within that object. So long as it is anObjectCreatePacket
, those methods can be called correctly for a game object of the desired type.
