Parents Method in Actor Class
Overview
The Parents method in the Actor class is used to retrieve the parents of an actor. It allows for the inclusion or exclusion of deceased parents based on the specified parameter.
Syntax
public IEnumerable<Actor> Parents(bool inclusivePassive = true)
Parameters
inclusivePassive(bool): A flag indicating whether to include deceased (passive state) parents in the returned collection. It defaults totrue.
Returns
- Return Type:
IEnumerable<Actor>. The method returns a collection ofActorobjects representing the parents of the specified actor. - When
inclusivePassiveistrue, it includes all parents regardless of their state (alive or dead). - When
inclusivePassiveisfalse, it only includes parents who are in an active (alive) state.
Description
The Parents method is designed to provide access to the actor's parental figures. The method's behavior can be controlled through the inclusivePassive parameter, allowing users to specify whether they want to include parents who have passed away (Passive state) in the collection.
Usage
This method is particularly useful in scenarios where the actor's familial background, including the state of their parents (alive or dead), plays a role in the gameplay or narrative.
Example:
var livingParents = someActor.Parents(false);
var allParents = someActor.Parents();
In these examples, livingParents will contain only living parents of the actor, while allParents will include both living and deceased parents.
Remarks
- The ability to include or exclude deceased parents provides flexibility in how parental relationships are handled within the game's logic or story.
- The method is a part of handling complex family trees and relationships within the game, enhancing the depth and realism of character interactions and narratives.
