Behavior element behavior adding player controlling support to actor.

Actors with this behavior can become the player controlled actor. Requires an instance of ECBehaviorPlayerControllable.Tracker to be assigned. The instance keeps track of the active player actor and is typically stored globally in the game. BaseGameApp provides such an instance for easy use.

This behavior can be used only once on an element.

Element class properties have the prefix playerControllable. .

This behavior does support element class to be persistable (setPersistable).

ECBehaviorPlayerControllable.

Since DragonScript Module Version 1.0

• Allow element to be controlled by player.

This example defines an element which can be controlled by the player.

class MyElement extends BehaviorElementClass
  public var ECBehaviorPlayerControllable playerControllable
  func new()
    playerControllable = ECBehaviorPlayerControllable.new(this)
  end
end

Using element class supporting adding behaviors the behavior can be added like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<elementClass name='MyClass' class='GenericBehaviorElement'>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorComponent'/>
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorCollider'/>
 
  <behavior type='ECBehaviorPlayerControllable'>
    <!-- optional: use BaseGameApp player controlled actor.
                   game can add more supported values. default is 'default' -->
    <string name='playerControlledActor'>default</string>
 
    <!-- set element properties. omit property prefix if used inside behavior tag -->
    <string name='.name'>value</string>
  </behavior>
</elementClass>
