Typically used for reading a Creature back from a file; Population.add(snapshot_object) recreates the Creature object from the snapshot. When the creature is added to a population and it happens to collide with the terrain, the creature will be automatically moved upwards just enough to avoid the collision. 487 Serialized Creature preserves most of its data fields (including the 'data' dictionary) but only keeps aggregated information about its physical state, which is body orientation and location of the bounding box center. Individual physical body parts' locations, states and neuron states are lost. 488 Restoring the state of a formerly living, serialized creature using its CreatureSnapshot is not perfect. Apart from losing information about individual body and brain parts and their states, the usual flow of calculating performance may be disturbed, which is related to the 'performance sampling period' being interrupted as well as the specifics of the 'freezing period' mechanism. In consequence, the intended behavior of 'lifespan', 'steps_in_lifespan', and performance fields may be broken. For example, when period=100, after every 100 'steps_in_lifespan', the 'lifespan' increases by 100 and the new performance data is calculated. When the period is interrupted by saving/restoring, 'steps_in_lifespan' continues to increase from the saved value, but performance counters will be waiting another full 100 steps before the next update, losing the information from the unfinished period. The resulting 'lifespan' will be lower than it would have been without interruptions, and will be inconsistent with 'steps_in_lifespan'. Because of these issues, it is strongly advised to thoroughly inspect and test the behavior of the restored Creatures in various moments in their lifepspan, and use CreatureSnapshot only when necessary. 489 See also: scripts/standard_exploadsave.inc 490 See also: Population.add() 491 ]]></description> 482 492 <element name="new" function="true" type="Creature"><arguments/></element> 483 493 <element name="name" type="string" max="40"/> … … 485 495 <element name="info" type="string"> 486 496 <description><![CDATA[Additional info or comments]]></description> 497 </element> 498 <element name="num" type="integer"> 499 <description><![CDATA[Acts as a unique identifier, but less strict than "uid".
