Game Ticks

The game thread handles timing of game ticks and is in charge of triggering the game_tick event. Ticks are timed to occur every 500±1ms. At the start of each tick, the game thread will attempt to execute and clear the action queue, then trigger the game_tick event. Game logic should ideally populate the action queue instead of executing the action directly.

Scripts can hook the game_tick event by registering a Trigger.

// Writing your own Trigger
var Trigger = Java.type('com.worldstone.worldengine.trigger.Trigger');
var MyGameTickTrigger = Java.extend(Trigger, {
    resolve: function(attributes) {
        print(attributes);
    }
});

// Register MyTrigger with the TriggerController
var TriggerController = Java.type('com.worldstone.worldengine.trigger.TriggerController');
TriggerController.registerTrigger(new MyGameTickTrigger('my_game_tick_trigger', 'game_tick'));
