; Details : To use a map attribute you need to define an attribute with type map in the RPClass. It is done the same way as ''normal'' attributes for Strings or Integers. Here a short example on how to define a map attribute as it is done in Stendhal for the buddy list:

player.addAttribute("buddies", Type.MAP, Definition.PRIVATE);

Afterwards you can access the map with several methods defined in RPObject to put or get values. To put a key value pair in a certain map you need to call the put method for maps:

rpobject.put(mapname, key, value);

To get a value stored for a key in a map you need to use the get method for maps:

rpobject.get(mapname, key);

The put and get methods provide methods to store/access String, Integer and Boolean values like they are provided for the existing attributes.

public void put(String mapname, String key, String value)

public void put(String mapname, String key, int value)

public void put(String mapname, String key, boolean value)

public String get(String mapname, String key)

public int get(String mapname, String key)

public boolean get(String mapname, String key)

If you need to check if a certain map is present in a RPObject you can to this by calling

rpobject.hasMap(mapname)

It returns true if within the RPObject has a map with mapname and false if not.
