Class InstanceClient

java.lang.Object
  multiverse.server.plugins.InstanceClient

public class InstanceClient
extends java.lang.Object

API for instance management. An instance is created from an instance template and optional override template. The instance template specifies the instance world file, initialization script, and load script. Instances may be persistent or non-persistent. Persistent instances can be unloaded and later loaded. Persistent instances will have the same oid when reloaded.

Note: Instance names may not be unique.

The initial instances should be created by a "post" script passed to the InstancePlugin process. If you're using the supplied 'multiverse.sh' or 'start-multiverse.bat', then the script is named $MV_HOME/config/myworld/startup_instance.py.

Instance objects are searchable using ObjectTypes.instance and PropertySearch. The search result is a collection of java.util.Map objects containing the selected properties. Select properties by name in the SearchSelection. If the selection mode is SearchSelection.RESULT_KEY_ONLY, then the result is a collection of Long instance oids. If the selection mode is SearchSelection.RESULT_KEYED, the result is a collection of SearchEntry where the key is the instance oid and the value is a java.util.Map.

Constructor Detail

InstanceClient

public InstanceClient()

Method Detail

registerInstanceTemplate

public static boolean registerInstanceTemplate(Template template)

Register an instance template. The template specifies the instance world file, scripts, and custom properties. An instance template is required to create an instance.

The supported properties are:

TEMPL_WORLD_FILE_NAME -- name of the world file

TEMPL_INIT_SCRIPT_FILE_NAME -- instance initialization script

TEMPL_LOAD_SCRIPT_FILE_NAME -- load script The world file should be a .mvw file. The init script is run once when the instance is created. The load script is run each time a persistent instance is loaded after creation.

The file names undergo variable expansion prior to use. The supported variables are:

• $MV_HOME -- the value of MV_HOME environment variable
• $WORLD_NAME -- the world name
• $WORLD_DIR -- the world config directory: $MV_HOME/config/$WORLD_NAME

Returns:

True on success, false on failure

createInstance

public static java.lang.Long createInstance(java.lang.String templateName,
                                            Template override)

Create an instance. The instance properties are taken from the registered templateName merged with the override. Properties in the override template take precedence over those in the registered template. See registerInstanceTemplate(Template).

To make a persistent instance, set the persistent property in the registered or override template:

            Java:
            template.put(Namespace.OBJECT_MANAGER,
                ObjectManagerClient.TEMPL_PERSISTENT, true)
            Python:
            template.put(Namespace.OBJECT_MANAGER,
                ObjectManagerClient.TEMPL_PERSISTENT, Boolean(True))
        

Instance creation has the following steps:

1. Select world manager to host instance (currently hardcoded to "WorldManager1").
2. Generate instance object via object manager. Sub-objects are created in the instance and world manager plugins.
3. Load world file into instance; structures, lights, etc.
4. Create world editor defined spawn generators
5. Run the instance init script (TEMPL_INIT_SCRIPT_FILE_NAME)

Returns:

Instance oid on success, null on failure

loadInstance

public static int loadInstance(long instanceOid)

Load a persistent instance.

Instance loading has the following steps:

1. Select world manager to host instance (currently hardcoded to "WorldManager1").
2. Load instance object via object manager. Sub-objects are loaded in the instance and world manager plugins.
3. Load world file into instance; structures, lights, etc.
4. Load instance contents; persistent objects spawned in the instance
5. Create world editor defined spawn generators
6. Run the instance load script (TEMPL_LOAD_SCRIPT_FILE_NAME)

Returns:

RESULT_OK on success, RESULT_ERROR_UNKNOWN_OBJECT if the instanceOid does not exist, RESULT_ERROR_INTERNAL for any other error.

unloadInstance

public static boolean unloadInstance(long instanceOid)

Unload a persistent instance. For a non-persistent instance, this is the same as deleting the instance. Instance content (objects spawned in the instance) are automatically unloaded when the instance unloads. However, players in the instance are not unloaded.

A MSG_TYPE_INSTANCE_UNLOADED SubjectMessage is published after the content is unloaded, but before the instance object is unloaded. The message is published as a broadcast RPC and the caller waits for all subscribers to respond.

This operation is actually implemented in the object manager plugin.

Returns:

True on success, false on failure

deleteInstance

public static boolean deleteInstance(long instanceOid)

Delete an instance. Instance content (objects spawned in the instance) are automatically deleted when the instance is deleted. However, players in the instance are not deleted. For a persistent instance object and content are deleted from the database.

A MSG_TYPE_INSTANCE_DELETED SubjectMessage is published after the content is deleted, but before the instance object is deleted. The message is published as a broadcast RPC and the caller waits for all subscribers to respond.

This operation is actually implemented in the object manager plugin.

Returns:

True on success, false on failure

getInstanceOid

public static java.lang.Long getInstanceOid(java.lang.String instanceName)

Get instance oid from an instance name. Instance names may not be unique. In case of duplicate instance names, the selected instance is undefined.

Returns:

Oid on success, null on failure or unknown name.

getInstanceInfo

public static InstanceClient.InstanceInfo getInstanceInfo(long instanceOid,
                                                          int flags)

Get instance information. Information is selected by the flags parameter. Information for unloaded instances is limited to the 'oid' and 'loaded' status.

Parameters:

instanceOid - Instance identifier.

flags - Bit-mask of the FLAG_* constants.

Returns:

Always returns an InstanceInfo. InstanceInfo.oid will be null if the instance does not exist.

getMarker

public static Marker getMarker(long instanceOid,
                               java.lang.String markerName)

Get marker location and orientation from a loaded instance.

Parameters:

instanceOid - Instance identifier.

markerName - Marker name.

Returns:

Marker object or null if unknown instance or marker.

getMarker

public static Marker getMarker(long instanceOid,
                               java.lang.String markerName,
                               long flags)

Get marker information from a loaded instance. Information is selected by the flags parameter.

Parameters:

instanceOid - Instance identifier.

markerName - Marker name.

flags - Bit-mask of MARKER_* constants.

Returns:

Marker object or null if unknown instance or marker.

getMarkerPoint

public static Point getMarkerPoint(long instanceOid,
                                   java.lang.String markerName)

Get marker location from a loaded instance.

Parameters:

instanceOid - Instance identifier.

markerName - Marker name.

Returns:

Marker object or null if unknown instance or marker.

getRegion

public static Region getRegion(long instanceOid,
                               java.lang.String regionName,
                               long flags)

Get region information from a loaded instance. Information is selected by the flags parameter.

Parameters:

instanceOid - Instance identifier.

regionName - Region name.

flags - Bit-mask of REGION_* constants; REGION_BOUNDARY, REGION_PROPERTIES, REGION_ALL.

Returns:

Region object or null if unknown instance or region.

objectInstanceEntry

public static boolean objectInstanceEntry(long oid,
                                          BasicWorldNode instanceLoc,
                                          int flags)

Move an object to a different instance. The destination instance, location, and orientation are specified in instanceLoc. The destination instance must already be loaded. Passing InstanceClient.InstanceEntryReqMessage.FLAG_PUSH for flags pushes the current instance and location onto the player's instance restore stack. A subsequent instance entry with InstanceClient.InstanceEntryReqMessage.FLAG_POP will instance back to this location.

Passing InstanceClient.InstanceEntryReqMessage.FLAG_POP for flags removes the top entry from the player instance stack and moves the player to that instance and location. The bottom of the instance restore stack is the fail-safe location and is never removed.

The destination instance may be the same as the current instance.

Blocks until the instance entry is complete. Currently only supported for player objects.

See InstanceClient.InstanceEntryReqMessage for additional instance entry options.

Parameters:

oid - Object identifier (only players are supported).

instanceLoc - Instance and location.

flags - One of FLAG_NONE, FLAG_POP, or FLAG_PUSH from InstanceClient.InstanceEntryReqMessage.

Returns:

True on success, false on failure.

objectInstanceEntry

public static boolean objectInstanceEntry(long oid,
                                          java.lang.String instanceName,
                                          BasicWorldNode instanceLoc,
                                          int flags)

Move an object to a different instance. The instance is identified by name (however instance names may not be unique).
