Method Detail

getModuleName

ModuleName getModuleName()

Gets moduleName.

Returns:

ModuleName of this FrameworkModule

setModuleName

void setModuleName(ModuleName moduleName)

Sets ModuleName.

Parameters:

moduleName - ModuleName of this FrameworkModule

containsSubmodule

boolean containsSubmodule(ModuleName name)

Returns whether this FrameworkModule contains a submodule with specified ModuleName.

Parameters:

name - ModuleName of submodule

Returns:

true if there is a FrameworkModule with specified ModuleName in this FrameworkModule

containsSubmodule

boolean containsSubmodule(java.lang.String name)

Returns whether this FrameworkModule contains a submodule with specified name.

Parameters:

name - ModuleName of submodule

Returns:

true if there is a FrameworkModule with specified name in this FrameworkModule

getSubmodule

FrameworkModule getSubmodule(ModuleName name)

Gets specified submodule subModule.

Parameters:

name - name of the desired submodule.

Returns:

the submodule.

getSubmodule

FrameworkModule getSubmodule(java.lang.String name)

Gets specified submodule.

Parameters:

name - name of the desired submodule.

Returns:

the submodule.

addSubModule

void addSubModule(FrameworkModule lm)

Adds submodule as a component of this FrameworkModule.

Parameters:

lm - submodule to add

getModuleContent

java.lang.Object getModuleContent(java.lang.Object... params)

Returns module content specified by params. Intended for use by the GUI only.

Parameters:

params - parameters specifying what content will be returned

Returns:

Parameter-specified content of this module.

taskManagerDecayModule

void taskManagerDecayModule(long ticks)

void setAssistingTaskSpawner(TaskSpawner ts)

Specify the TaskSpawner which this FrameworkModule will use to spawn tasks.

Parameters:

ts - the TaskSpawner

getAssistingTaskSpawner

TaskSpawner getAssistingTaskSpawner()

Returns the TaskSpawner which this FrameworkModule uses to spawn tasks.

Returns:

the assisting task spawner

getSubmodules

java.util.Map<ModuleName,FrameworkModule> getSubmodules()

Convenience method to get submodules

Returns:

map of submodules by ModuleName
