from direct.directnotify.DirectNotifyGlobal import * class PhasedObject: """ This class is governs the loading and unloading of successive phases in an ordered and automatic manner. An object can only have one phase at any given moment. At the completion of setPhase() the current and all previous phases are guaranteed to be loaded, while all later phases are guaranteed to be unloaded. In order to define a phase, simply define the functions: loadPhase<#> and unloadPhase<#> where # corresponds to the number of the phase to be defined and # >= 0. You also have the ability to define alias for phases so that your function definitions are more descriptive. The way to do this is to provide an aliasMap to __init__(). The aliasMap is of the form {'alias':#, ...}. You can then call setPhase() with this alias as well. So for example, if you wanted to alias phase 0 to 'Far' you would define loadPhaseFar() and unloadPhaseFar(). Upon calling setPhase(0), setPhase('Far'), setPhase(), or setPhase(), loadPhaseFar() will be invoked. For a skeleton example class, see the AnfaPhasedObject class definition lower in this file.
