public interface IMapObjectLoader

This interface provides methods that are required for loading an IEntity from an IMapObject. It separates the actual entity implementation from the loading process and provide a place to implement all the logic to load attributes and initialize logic based on static information from the IMap.

The engine provides default implementations for all predefined Entity types (e.g. Prop or Creature). You can inherit/call the abstract MapObjectLoader implementation to make use of predefined loading logic.
