<p>
Level logic class. This is indicated by the &quot;type&quot; attribute in level.xml file. By default level logic uses a base <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelLogic.html">TLevelLogic</a> class, which corresponds to using <code>type=&quot;Level&quot;</code> in level.xml file.

<p>Changing this allows to use a different ObjectPascal class to implement the level behavior. You can create your own <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelLogic.html">TLevelLogic</a> descendants and register them like

<p></p>

<pre class="longcode">
<span class="pascal_keyword">type</span>
  TMyLevelLogic = <span class="pascal_keyword">class</span>(TLevelLogic)
    <span class="pascal_comment">{ ... override whatever you want ... }</span>
  <span class="pascal_keyword">end</span>;

<span class="pascal_numeric"></span>...
LevelLogicClasses[<span class="pascal_string">'MyLevel'</span>] := TMyLevelLogic;
</pre>

<p>

<p>And then you can use <code>type=&quot;MyLevel&quot;</code> inside level.xml to use your class. Many advanced tricks are possible by implementing your own <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelLogic.html">TLevelLogic</a> descendant. See Castle1 GameLevelSpecific.pas unit for some examples.</p>

Nice name of the level for user. This should be user-friendly, so it can use spaces, non-English letters and such.

<p>The core engine (like this <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.html">CastleLevels</a> unit) doesn't use this title much, it's only for progress bars and log messages.

<p>It is up to the final game code to use this title in more interesting ways. For example to show a choice of starting level to the user. The core engine doesn't make such &quot;New Game&quot; menus automatically (because various games may have widly different ideas how to make it and how to show it). But we give the developer tools to make such menus easily, for example you can use <a class="normal" href="CastleOnScreenMenu.TCastleOnScreenMenu.html">TCastleOnScreenMenu</a> for this.</p>

  <li><p>It is set to <code>True</code> when loading level.</p></li>
  <li><p>It is saved to disk (user preferences file) when game exits, and loaded when game starts.

To load, you must also call explicitly <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelInfoList.html#LoadFromConfig">Levels.LoadFromConfig</a> now.</p></li>
  <li><p>The default value comes from <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelInfo.html#DefaultPlayed">DefaultPlayed</a> property, which in turn is loaded from level.xml file, and by default is <code>False</code>.

<p>

<p>The engine doesn't look at this property for anything, whether the level is played or not has no influence over how we work.

<p>
Should the level be initially considered &quot;played&quot;. This determines the initial value of <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelInfo.html#Played">Played</a> property (if nothing was stored in user preferences about this level, see <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelInfoList.html#LoadFromConfig">TLevelInfoList.LoadFromConfig</a>; or if <a class="normal" href="CastleLevels.TLevelInfoList.html#LoadFromConfig">TLevelInfoList.LoadFromConfig</a> is not called by the game).

<p>How is this information useful, depends on a particular game. For example, some games may decide to show in the &quot;New Game&quot; menu levels only with Played=true. Some games may simply ignore it.</p>

<p>
How to interpret the placeholders direction (like the initial creature direction on the level). Some placeholders (currently, only creatures) may be used to determine initial direction of the resource. For example, the direction the creature is initially facing. This direction is calculated as the transformation of given placeholder applied to this 3D vector.

<p>The correct value may depend on the exporter you used to create 3D models, and on the exporter settings (how and if it rotates the model when exporting, and is this rotation recorded in placeholder transformation or applied directly to mesh coordinates). It may also depend on personal preference, as it determines how you set resources in your 3D modelling tool (like Blender).

<p>Fortunately, the default value (+X vector) is suitable for at least 2 common situations:

<p></p>

<ol class="paragraph_spacing">
  <li value="1"><p>If your exporter rotates the world to turn +Z up into +Y up. (This is the case of default Blender X3D exporter with default settings.)</p></li>
  <li value="2"><p>If your exporter doesn't rotate the world. (You can configure Blender exporter to behave like this. You may also then configure engine to use +Z as up vector for everything, see &quot;Which way is up?&quot; on [<a  href="http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/tutorial_up.php">http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/tutorial_up.php</a>].)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>

<p>In Blender it's useful to enable the &quot;Display -&gt; Wire&quot; option for placeholder objects, then Blender will show arrows inside the placeholder. +X of the arrow determines the default direction understood by our engine.</p>
