< p > We have already created some things - dragons for example. There are many different things to create
in Evennia though. In the last lesson we learned about typeclasses, the way to make objects persistent in the database.< / p >
< p > Given the path to a Typeclass, there are three ways to create an instance of it:< / p >
< ul >
< li > < p > Firstly, you can call the class directly, and then < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > .save()< / span > < / code > it:< / p >
2021-10-26 21:41:11 +02:00
< div class = "highlight-none notranslate" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > obj = SomeTypeClass(db_key=...)
obj.save()
2020-07-14 00:21:00 +02:00
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >
< p > This has the drawback of being two operations; you must also import the class and have to pass
the actual database field names, such as < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > db_key< / span > < / code > instead of < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > key< / span > < / code > as keyword arguments.< / p >
< / li >
< li > < p > Secondly you can use the Evennia creation helpers:< / p >
2021-10-26 21:41:11 +02:00
< div class = "highlight-none notranslate" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > obj = evennia.create_object(SomeTypeClass, key=...)
2020-07-14 00:21:00 +02:00
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >
< p > This is the recommended way if you are trying to create things in Python. The first argument can either be
the class < em > or< / em > the python-path to the typeclass, like < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > " path.to.SomeTypeClass" < / span > < / code > . It can also be < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > None< / span > < / code > in which
case the Evennia default will be used. While all the creation methods
2021-10-26 21:41:11 +02:00
are available on < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > evennia< / span > < / code > , they are actually implemented in < a class = "reference internal" href = "../../../api/evennia.utils.create.html" > < span class = "doc std std-doc" > evennia/utils/create.py< / span > < / a > .< / p >
2020-07-14 00:21:00 +02:00
< / li >
< li > < p > Finally, you can create objects using an in-game command, such as< / p >
2021-10-26 21:41:11 +02:00
< div class = "highlight-none notranslate" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span > < / span > create/drop obj:path.to.SomeTypeClass
2020-07-14 00:21:00 +02:00
< / pre > < / div >
< / div >
< p > As a developer you are usually best off using the two other methods, but a command is usually the only way
to let regular players or builders without Python-access help build the game world.< / p >

< p > This is one of the most common creation-types. These are entities that inherits from < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > DefaultObject< / span > < / code > at any distance.
They have an existence in the game world and includes rooms, characters, exits, weapons, flower pots and castles.< / p >

< p > Since we didn’ < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > typeclass< / span > < / code > as the first argument, the default given by < code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > settings.BASE_OBJECT_TYPECLASS< / span > < / code >
(< code class = "docutils literal notranslate" > < span class = "pre" > typeclasses.objects.Object< / span > < / code > ) will be used.< / p >
