public abstract class Entity extends CustomCloneable implements Serializable, HasCard, Comparable<Entity>
An in-game entity.

Entities are targetable objects in a match. The player, hero, hero power card, minions, cards in hand, cards in deck, cards in graveyard, secrets and certain kinds of triggers are all entities.

Entities are only created, never destroyed. Entities have a EntityLocation; each location (index, zone and player) can have only one entity occupying it at any time. Destroyed entities go to the Spellsource.ZonesMessage.Zones.GRAVEYARD or Spellsource.ZonesMessage.Zones.REMOVED_FROM_PLAY zone. EntityZone lists located in the Player objects are reponsible for making sure entities are in only one place at a time.

Entities all have attributes, which contain their state. As simple maps, entity attributes can be manipulated, copied, etc. Most effects interact with an entity's attributes.

Entities are mutable. Use clone() to create an "immutable" view of an entity. However, for effects that need copies of entities, typically a getCopy() method is used, like Card.getCopy().

This entity class will contain all the game engine information. It is not suitable to show to clients directly, because it may contain information that should be secret from an opponent. For example, Secret entities should have their description or card IDs visible to their opponents.

    • NO_OWNER

      public static final int NO_OWNER

    • clone

      public Entity clone()
      Clone an entity, including its ID and location.

      Use this method for emulating an "immutable" view on an entity. This kind of cloning is not suitable for most gameplay situations, because using the clone will cause two entities with identical IDs and locations to exist. Instead, a subclass will provide a getCopy() method that is more helpful for gameplay.

      Overrides:
      clone in class CustomCloneable
      Returns:
      An exact clone.

    • getAttribute

      public Object getAttribute(Attribute attribute)
      Gets the specified attribute.

      Attributes are Integer, String, String array or Enum types.

      Parameters:
      attribute - The attribute to look up.
      Returns:
      The value of the attribute.
      See Also:

    • getAttributes

      public AttributeMap getAttributes()
      Gets the complete attribute map reference (not a copy). This can be mutated like a normal Map.
      Returns:
      The AttributeMap.

    • getAttributeValue

      public int getAttributeValue(Attribute attribute)
      Gets the specified attribute as an Integer value or 0 if the specified attribute is of the wrong type or is not found.
      Parameters:
      attribute - The Attribute to look up.
      Returns:
      The attribute's value or 0 if it isn't set.

    • getAttributeValue

      public int getAttributeValue(Attribute attribute, int defaultValue)
      Gets the specified attribute as an Integer value, defaulting to the specified value if the value is not an integer.
      Parameters:
      attribute - The Attribute to look up.
      Returns:
      The attribute's value or 0 if it isn't set.

    • getEntityType

      public abstract com.hiddenswitch.spellsource.rpc.Spellsource.EntityTypeMessage.EntityType getEntityType()
      Gets the type of entity this is. These will very nearly match up with the classes, but are primarily used for filters that e.g. draw a Spell or destroy all Secrets.
      Returns:
      An Spellsource.EntityTypeMessage.EntityType

    • getId

      public int getId()
      The entity's ID in the match.

      IDs are set by default to IdFactory.UNASSIGNED. This means entity IDs are mutable; entity IDs must be mutable because entities can be cloned with clone(). In practice, once an entity's ID is set, it is not set again.

      Returns:
      The entity's ID, or IdFactory.UNASSIGNED if it is unassigned.
      See Also:

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Gets the name of the entity (typically the name of the card that created this entity). Or, overridden by the Attribute.NAME attribute set in this entity's attributes.
      Returns:
      The name.

    • getOwner

      public int getOwner()
      Gets the owner of this entity, or IdFactory.UNASSIGNED if it has no owner.

      Owners are mutable because the owner of an entity, especially minions, can change.

      The owner should match the getEntityLocation()'s owner. The minion's location should be changed first, then its owner.

      Returns:
      GameContext.PLAYER_1, GameContext.PLAYER_2, or IdFactory.UNASSIGNED.

    • getReference

      @NotNull public @NotNull EntityReference getReference()
      Gets an EntityReference that points to this entity.
      Returns:
      An EntityReference.
      See Also:

      Checks if the Entity has the specified Attribute.
      Parameters:
      attribute - The Attribute.
      Returns:
      true if it has the attribute.

    • getMaxNumberOfAttacks

      public int getMaxNumberOfAttacks()

    • isDestroyed

      public boolean isDestroyed()
      Checks if the entity is destroyed. Overridden to take into account entities with hitpoints.
      Returns:
      true if it is destroyed.

      value - The amount to increment or decrement the HP bonus by.

    • setAttribute

      public void setAttribute(Attribute attribute)
      Sets an attribute. This will remove silencing when it is called. Since boolean values are not stored in attributes, attributes that are "boolean" are just set to 1. Setting the value to 0 is not equivalent to not having the attribute.
      Parameters:
      attribute - The attribute to set.

    • setAttribute

      public void setAttribute(Attribute attribute, int value)
      Sets an attribute to a specific integer value. This will remove silencing when it is called. It does not enforce that the attribute is something that only accepts Integer values.

      attribute - The attribute to set.
      value - The value.

    • setAttribute

      public void setAttribute(Attribute attribute, Object value)
      Sets an attribute to a generic object, like a string. This clears silencing when it is called.
