DistanceConnectorclass
DistanceConnector: a special type of SenseConnector that connects its locations with distance. This can be used for things like divided rooms, where a single physical location is modeled with two or more Room objects - the north and south end of a large cave, for example. This is also useful for cases where two rooms are separate but open to one another, such as a balcony overlooking a courtyard.
Note that this inherits from both SenseConnector and Intangible. Intangible is included as a base class because each instance will need to derive from Thing, so that it fits into the normal sense model, but will virtually never need any other physical presence in the game world; Intangible fills both of these needs.

Methods
checkMoveThrough (obj, dest)
OVERRIDDEN
Do allow moving an object through a distance connector. This should generally only be involved at all when we’re moving an object programmatically, in which case we should already have decided that the movement is allowable. Any command that tries to move an object through a distance connector will almost certainly have a suitable set of preconditions that checks for reachability, which will in most cases disallow the action anyway before we get to the point of wanting to move anything.
checkThrowThrough (obj, dest)
OVERRIDDEN
When checking for throwing through this container, specialize the failure message to indicate that distance is the specific problem.
checkTouchThrough (obj, dest)
OVERRIDDEN
When checking for reaching through this connector, specialize the failure message to indicate that distance is the specific problem. (Without this specialization, we’d get a generic message when trying to reach through the connector, such as “you can’t reach that through <self>.”
throwTargetHitWith (projectile, path)
OVERRIDDEN
Report the reason that we stopped a thrown projectile from hitting its intended target. This is called when we’re along the path between the thrower and the intended target, AND ‘self’ objects to the action.
The default version of this method in Thing reports that the projectile hits ‘self’, as though self were a physical obstruction like a fence or wall. In the case of a distance connector, though, the reason isn’t usually obstruction, but simply that the connector imposes such a distance that the actor can’t throw the projectile far enough to reach the intended target. We therefore override the Thing version to report that the projectile fell short of the target.
Note that if you do want to allow throwing a projectile across the distance represented by this connector, you can override checkThrowThrough() to return checkStatusSuccess.
transSensingThru (sense)
OVERRIDDEN
all senses are connected through us, but at a distance
