Method Details

[hide private]

update(self)

source code

Performs an update of the part's information.

This method is called periodically (depending on the delay setting), so there is ordinarily no reason to call it from outside of the system.

do_update(self)

source code

Perform the actual update.

Part implementations should override this method.

set_system(self, system)

source code

Sets the system that this part is in.

A part may only be in one system at once - if a part is in two systems at once IRL, it may be best to have a representation of it in each system, or to make it its own system.
