All Implemented Interfaces:

IRenderable, IUpdateable, Tweenable, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, MouseWheelListener, EventListener

public class SpeechBubble
extends GuiComponent
implements IUpdateable

A SpeechBubble is a GuiComponent with a given text that is pinned to an entity and moves with it. After initializing the speech bubble, you can start it separately, which will add the component to the current screen, register it for updates and make it visible on screen. Stopping the speech bubble will remove the component and deregister its updates.

Constructor Details

SpeechBubble

public SpeechBubble(IEntity entity,
 String text)

Instantiates a new speech bubble.

Parameters:

entity - the entity to which the Speech bubble will be pinned

text - the text which will appear in the speech bubble

SpeechBubble

public SpeechBubble(IEntity entity,
 double width,
 double height,
 int displayTime,
 String text)

Instantiates a new Speech bubble.

Parameters:

entity - the entity to which the Speech bubble will be pinned

width - the width of the text box

height - the height of the text box

displayTime - the display time in milliseconds

text - the text which will appear in the speech bubble

Method Details

getEntity

public IEntity getEntity()

Gets the entity to which this speech bubble is pinned.

Returns:

the entity

getDisplayTime

public int getDisplayTime()

Gets the duration in milliseconds for which this speech bubble will be active.

Returns:

the display time in milliseconds

setDisplayTime

public void setDisplayTime(int displayTime)

Sets the duration in milliseconds for which this speech bubble will be active.

Parameters:

displayTime - the display time in milliseconds

start

public void start()

Start the speech bubble. This will add it to the current Screen's components, make it visible and register it for updates in the Game loop. After the display time has elapsed, the speech bubble will be stopped automatically.

stop

public void stop()

Stop the speech bubble. This will remove it from the current Screen's components, make it invisible and deregister it from updates in the Game loop.

render

public void render(Graphics2D g)

Description copied from class: GuiComponent

Note: If you override this and are modifying swing components, be sure you are in the AWT thread when you do so!

Specified by:

render in interface IRenderable

Overrides:

render in class GuiComponent

Parameters:

g - The current graphics object onto which this instance will render its visual contents.

See Also:

• RenderEngine.renderEntity(Graphics2D, de.gurkenlabs.litiengine.entities.IEntity)

getBoxAlign

public Align getBoxAlign()

Gets the horizontal speech bubble alignment that dictates its position relative to the entity center point.

Returns:

the box Align

setBoxAlign

public void setBoxAlign(Align boxAlign)

Sets the horizontal speech bubble alignment that dictates its position relative to the entity center point.

Parameters:

boxAlign - the box Align

update

public void update()

Description copied from interface: IUpdateable

This method is called by the game loop on all objects that are attached to the loop. It's called on every tick of the loop and the frequency can be configured using the ClientConfiguration.

Specified by:

update in interface IUpdateable

See Also:

• ClientConfiguration.setMaxFps(int)

isRenderingTriangle

public boolean isRenderingTriangle()

Checks if the triangle indicator is active.

Returns:

true, if the speech bubble is rendering a triangle indicator on the bottom.
