## Detailed Description

This is an entity in the CEL layer at the PL (physical layer) side.

Every object in the game is represented by an entity. The entity system allows the game programmer (using CEL) to speak to game objects in a consistent manner. Examples of entities are the player, the world itself, creates, a candle, objects in general and items.

Entities are generally created, and destroyed, as required by the Physical Layer at the request of the Behaviour Layer.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual iCelBehaviour* iCelEntity::GetBehaviour | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Get the behaviour layer entity associated with this entity. Returns: A pointer to the iCelBehaviour object representing the behaviour layer for this entity.

virtual uint iCelEntity::GetID | ( |  | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

| Return the (unique) ID of the entity. Returns: A uint uniquely representing this entity.

virtual const char* iCelEntity::GetName | ( |  | ) | const`[pure virtual]`

| Get the name of this entity. Returns: A pointer to the name of this entity.

virtual iCelPropertyClassList* iCelEntity::GetPropertyClassList | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Get the list of property classes. Returns: An pointer to an iCelPropertyClassList containing a list of the property classes for this entity.

virtual iObject* iCelEntity::QueryObject | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Get the iObject for this entity (if supported). Returns: A pointer to the iObject for this entity if supported, otherwise 0.

virtual void iCelEntity::SetBehaviour | ( | iCelBehaviour * | behaviour | ) | `[pure virtual]`

  | Set the behaviour layer entity associated with this entity. Parameters:
  | behaviour | A pointer to the iCelBehaviour object representing the behaviour layer for this entity.

virtual void iCelEntity::SetID | ( | uint | n | ) | `[pure virtual]`

  | Set the (unique) ID of the entity. @@ UGLY! This should be removed as soon as we find another solution for this problem!!!! See history.txt entry of 23-Jan-2003. Parameters:
  | n | A uint to uniquely represent this entity.

virtual void iCelEntity::SetName | ( | const char * | n | ) | `[pure virtual]`

  | Set the name of this entity. Parameters:
  | n | A pointer to the name to set for this entity.
