Class Inheritance

this is not ready for prime time.

i am just getting some ideas down on how to explain

• the necessity of requiredaddons= aka the pbo loading order
• the difference between config tree declarations vs their bodies
• what class blah{}; actually does (vs blah:blah{}) and how to implement it properly
• how ofp behaves differently in class trees and what access= is all about

Class Inheritence refers to the way in which classes are superimposed onto each other.

class Base {

a base class containing (probably) embedded classes
class EmbeddedClass
{
 ...
};
class InheritedClass:EmbeddedClass
{
 ...
};

};

The above is the creation of the class with real values

example

class Vehicles {

 class Vehicle{......};
 class Car:Vehicle{......};
 class Truck:Car{......};

};

Inheritence skeleton

The engine needs to know how above is constructed when inheriting from it

if you aren't altering embededded classes:

class Car;

altering things in truck

class Car; class Truck:Car{....};

class anything{}; wipes out previous. NOTE however that reqiored addons is needed
