Method Detail

handles

boolean handles(java.lang.Object object)

can this creator deal with this type of object

createObject

ISensoryObject createObject(K objectKey,
                            java.lang.Object object,
                            ISensor sensor,
                            IAgentObject agent)

create the initial percept, which can later be refined by IObjectProcessors

Parameters:

objectKey -

object -

sensor -

agent -

Returns:

createKey

K createKey(java.lang.Object object)

create the key for this object

Parameters:

object -

Returns:

canDelete

boolean canDelete(IObjectKey objectKey)

test to see if the object key can be destroyed, removing the percept entirely.

Parameters:

objectKey -

Returns:

deleteKey

boolean deleteKey(IObjectKey objectKey)

delete the key and disconnect any listeners. The actual notification and removal of the percept is handled by the base sensor

Parameters:

objectKey -

Returns:

true if the key was deleted

installed

void installed(PerceptManager manager)

uninstalled

void uninstalled(PerceptManager manager)

configure

void configure(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> options)
