These methods add attributes to the RPClass and set their type and visibility. You can also set the parent of this class. Of course, however,classes awithout classparents canare have no parent (bepossible, parentless)too.

You can query the system classes using these methods. Note that it is '''not''' a good idea to modify them once you are running. The class definitions are send to the client on connect hence if you change the class definitions in the middle of a game you will crash your clients!<br>

* '' RPClass getRPClass(String name)''

objclass.add("x", RPClass.BYTE);

objclass.add("y", RPClass.BYTE);

objclass.add("name", RPClass.SHORT_STRING);

objclass.add("dirdirection", RPClass.SHORT_STRING);

objclass.add("score", RPClass.INT);

objclass.add("super", RPClass.BYTE);

objclass.add("!vdir", RPClass.STRING,RPClass.HIDDEN);

objclass.add("!hdir", RPClass.STRING,RPClass.HIDDEN);

objclass.add("?kill", RPClass.FLAG);

Each time you create a new RPClass, as long as you give it a name ( ie: playerentity, positionplayer, ... ), it will be added to the system list of classes.

Notice in the example that the HIDDENhidden attribute must be specified if you want the RPClass to have this property otherwise by default an attribute is visible.

Note: You can choose not to use RPClasses in your application BUTbut thethat performanceincreases penalty will be big onnetwork bandwidth and CPU usage.
