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 Inheritance 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{......};
};

Inheritance skeleton

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

if you aren't altering embedded classes:

class Car;

altering things in truck

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

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