GenericStructure

class gamelib.Structures.GenericStructure(**kwargs)

A GenericStructure is as the name suggest, a generic object to create all kind of structures.

It can be tweaked with all the properties of BoardItem, Immovable and it can be made pickable, overlappable or restorable or any combination of these.

If you need an action to be done when a Player and/or a NPC touch the structure please have a look at gamelib.Structures.GenericActionableStructure.

Parameters:

• pickable (bool) – Define if the structure can be picked-up by a Player or NPC.
• overlappable (bool) – Define if the structure can be overlapped by a Player or NPC.
• restorable (bool) – Define if the structure can be restored by the Board after a Player or NPC passed through. For example, you want a door or an activator structure (see GenericActionableStructure for that) to remain on the board after it’s been overlapped by a player. But you could also want to develop some kind of Space Invaders game were the protection block are overlappable but not restorable.

On top of these, this object takes all parameters of BoardItem and Immovable

Important

If you need a structure with a permission system please have a look at GenericActionableStructure. This class has a permission system for activation.
