Properties
decorationActionsOVERRIDDEN
The base Decoration class includes GoTo as a decorationAction. For a Distant object (e.g. the sun or moon or a distanct mountain) this will often be inappropriate. Where an object is ‘locally distant’ as it were, i.e. a sign mounted high up on a wall, you can override the destination property to give the location that a GO TO action should take the player character to; decorationActions will then include GoTo, since GO TO SIGN would then be a reasonable way for the player to get to the location of the sign.
destination
If this Distant represents an object that’s notionally in another location, setting destination to that location will allow the GO TO command to take the actor to that location. If destination is specified it should normally be a room (usually one adjacent to that this Distant object is located in. For an object like the sky, the sun or a distant mountain this should be left as nil.
notImportantMsgOVERRIDDEN
Message to say that this object is too far away.
Methods
dobjFor(GoTo)OVERRIDDEN
Going To a Distant object is unlike a normal GoTo, since if the object is meant to be Distant, going to its location (the normal response to a GO TO command) is precisely what we don’t want to happen. We therefore need to provide custom GoTo handling on a Distant object.
