SystemAction class | action.t[6612]

System action. These actions are for out-of-game meta-verbs (save, restore, undo). These verbs take no objects, must be performed by the player (thus by the player character, not an NPC), and consume no game clock time.

Properties

`actionTime` OVERRIDDEN | `action.t[6661]`

system actions consume no game time

Methods

`execAction ( )`OVERRIDDEN | `action.t[6614]`

execute the action

`execSystemAction ( )` | `action.t[6648]`

each subclass must override this to perform its actual action

`getInputFile (prompt, dialogType, fileType, flags)` | `action.t[6655]`

Ask for an input file. We call the input manager, which freezes the real-time clock, displays the appropriate local file selector dialog, and restarts the clock.
