BasicPlatformclass
A Platform is a nested room upon which an actor can stand. In general, when you can stand on something, you can also sit and lie on it as well (it might not be comfortable, but it is usually at least possible), so we make this a subclass of Bed.
The main difference between a platform and a chair that allows standing is that a platform is more of a mini-room. In particular, items an actor drops while standing on a platform land on the platform itself, whereas items dropped while sitting (or standing) on a chair land in the enclosing room. In addition, the obvious default action for a chair is to sit on it, while the obvious default action for a platform is to stand on it.

Properties

no description available
allowedPosturesOVERRIDDEN
we can sit, lie, and stand on a typical platform, and all of these could be reasonably expected to be done
defaultPostureOVERRIDDEN
default posture in this nested room is sitting
down
Traveling ‘down’ from a platform should generally be taken to mean ‘get off platform’.
effectiveFollowLocationOVERRIDDEN
an actor can follow another actor onto or off of a platform
mustMoveIntoPropOVERRIDDEN
tryMovingIntoNested failure message is “must get on platform”
objInPrepOVERRIDDEN
by default, one stands *on* a platform
obviousPosturesOVERRIDDEN
no description available
Methods
getDropDestination (obj, path)OVERRIDDEN
by default, objects dropped on a platform go onto the platform
makeStandingUp ( )OVERRIDDEN
Make the actor stand up. On a platform, standing is normally allowed, so STAND doesn’t usually imply “get off platform” as it does in the base class.
removeFromNested ( )OVERRIDDEN
Replace the current action with one that removes the actor from this nested room.
tryRemovingFromNested ( )OVERRIDDEN
Remove an actor from the platform. “Get off” is the normal command to leave a platform.
