Interface IInputConflictScope

Answers whether two parts of a game can be live at the same time.

Namespace: Scylla.Input

Assembly: ScyllaInput.dll

Syntax

public interface IInputConflictScope

Remarks

This is the one piece of conflict detection that is policy rather than fact. Whether two controls are the same physical input is determined by the paths; whether two actions can both hear it is determined by how the game is put together, and only the game can say.

Two strings in, one bool out, with no dependency on the record type. That is what lets the engine memoize verdicts across a query and keeps each implementation to a single expression.

Methods

CanScopesCollide(string, string)

Reports whether two scope keys name states that can be live simultaneously.

Declaration

bool CanScopesCollide(string scopeA, string scopeB)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	scopeA	First scope key.
string	scopeB	Second scope key.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true when both can be live together, so an overlap is a real conflict.

Remarks

Returning true is the conservative answer: it reports the overlap and lets a human decide. An implementation that cannot tell should say true.
