Properties
includeInUndoOVERRIDDEN
A SystemAction is not normally undo-able
isRepeatableOVERRIDDEN
A SystemAction is not normally repeatable
timeTakenOVERRIDDEN
For OBJTIME extension; a SystemAction shouldn’t normally take any game clock time.
turnsTakenOVERRIDDEN
A SystemAction doesn’t take any turns (this is a bit belt-and-braces since turnSequence does nothing in any case).
Methods
afterAction ( )OVERRIDDEN
Since a SystemAction isn’t an action in the game world, we don’t want it to trigger any after action notifications.
exec (cmd)OVERRIDDEN
Since this isn’t an action within the game world we bypass all the normal pre-action handling and just execute a reduced cycle.
execCycle (cmd)OVERRIDDEN
There’s no before notifications for a SystemAction so we simply execute the action and, if we should define it as repeatable, make a note of it in case the player issues an AGAIN command on the next turn.
getInputFile (prompt, dialogType, fileType, flags)
Ask for an input file. We call the input manager, which displays the appropriate local file selector dialog. This is used for SystemActions that need a file to act on, such as SAVE, RESTORE and QUIT.
turnSequence ( )OVERRIDDEN
Since a SystemAction isn’t an action in the game world, we don’t want it to count as a turn, so we don’t run any Daemons or Fuses and we don’t advance the turn count.
