                                                                   @NotNull BaseObject<?,?,?,?> gameObject,
                                                                   @NotNull
                                                                   @NotNull ArchetypeType type)

This method checks the objectText for syntax errors. More precisely: It reads every line in the objectText and looks if it matches the type-definitions (-> see ArchetypeTypeSet) for this base object. If there is no match, the line is considered wrong. Of course the type-definitions will never be perfect, this should be kept in mind.

Note that the archetype is ignored in the check. The default arches should be correct, and even if not - it isn't the map maker to blame.

Parameters:

gameObject - the game object to check

type - the type structure belonging to this base object

Returns:

a String with all lines which don't match the type-definitions.
If no such "errors" encountered, null is returned
