Class Condition

java.lang.Object
  story.scheherazade.elements.Condition

All Implemented Interfaces:

CloneableObject, RenderableObject, Predicate

Direct Known Subclasses:

ValidCondition

public class Condition
extends java.lang.Object
implements RenderableObject, Predicate, CloneableObject

A Condition is a property that can be associated with a character at a state in time. This is a "concrete," or instantiated Condition, which means that it is associated with whatever properties are needed for instantiation, but not inherently assigned to a particular state or character. For example, this is not "the property of feeling" or "John felt happy," but "feeling happy."

In order to construct a Condition the type of condition must have already been "declared" in Timeline.

                 int truthDegree,
                 PredicateMode mode)
          throws Scheherexception

Throws:

Scheherexception

Method Detail

getType

public ConditionType getType()

getSCHArguments

public SCHArguments getSCHArguments()
                             throws Scheherexception

Get the arguments used to instantiate this Condition

Throws:

Scheherexception

getTruthDegree

public int getTruthDegree()

Get the degree of this condition's truth in effect.

getMode

public PredicateMode getMode()

Get the mode of the condition.

render

public java.lang.StringBuffer render()
                              throws Scheherexception

Specified by:

render in interface RenderableObject

Throws:

Scheherexception

render

public static java.lang.StringBuffer render(ConditionType conditionType,
                                            SCHArguments arguments,
                                            int truthDegree,
                                            PredicateMode mode)
                                     throws Scheherexception

A static function that renders a ConditionType and arguments as they would be rendered if they were part of a Condition. Does not validate to make sure such a Condition would be legal.

Throws:

Scheherexception

equals

public boolean equals(Condition other)
               throws Scheherexception

Determines if this Condition is equivalent to some other.

Throws:

Scheherexception

getPredicateFlavor

public PredicateFlavor getPredicateFlavor()

Specified by:

getPredicateFlavor in interface Predicate

makeClone

public Condition makeClone()
                    throws Scheherexception

Specified by:

makeClone in interface CloneableObject

Throws:

Scheherexception
