Vars

affected_dynamic_lightsLazylist to keep track on the sources of illumination.
affecting_dynamic_lumiHighest-intensity light affecting us, which determines our visibility.
blocks_emissiveEither FALSE, EMISSIVE_BLOCK_GENERIC, or EMISSIVE_BLOCK_UNIQUE
buckle_lyingBed-like behaviour, forces mob.lying = buckle_lying if not set to NO_BUCKLE_LYING.
buckle_prevents_pullWhether things buckled to this atom can be pulled while they're buckled
buckle_requires_restraintsRequire people to be handcuffed before being able to buckle. eg: pipes
buckled_mobsThe mobs currently buckled to this atom
can_be_unanchoredUsed for the calculate_adjacencies proc for icon smoothing.
can_buckleWhether the atom allows mobs to be buckled to it. Can be ignored in [/atom/movable/proc/buckle_mob()] if force = TRUE
contents_pressure_protectionThe degree of pressure protection that mobs in list/contents have from the external environment, between 0 and 1
contents_thermal_insulationThe degree of thermal insulation that mobs in list/contents have from the external environment, between 0 and 1
demo_last_locLast location of the atom for demo recording purposes
em_blockInternal holder for emissive blocker object, do not use directly use blocks_emissive
generic_canpassIf false makes CanPass call CanPassThrough on this type instead of using default behaviour
important_recursive_contentsan associative lazylist of relevant nested contents by "channel", the list is of the form: list(channel = list(important nested contents of that type)) each channel has a specific purpose and is meant to replace potentially expensive nested contents iteration do NOT add channels to this for little reason as it can add considerable memory usage.
max_buckled_mobsThe maximum number of mob/livings allowed to be buckled to this atom at once
move_stackshow many times a this movable had movement procs called on it since Moved() was last called
movement_typeIn case you have multiple types, you automatically use the most useful one. IE: Skating on ice, flippers on water, flying over chasm/space, etc. I reccomend you use the movetype_handler system and not modify this directly, especially for living mobs.
pass_flagsThings we can pass through while moving. If any of this matches the thing we're trying to pass's [pass_flags_self], then we can pass through.
set_dir_on_moveWhether this atom should have its dir automatically changed when it moves. Setting this to FALSE allows for things such as directional windows to retain dir on moving without snowflake code all of the place.
tk_throw_rangeMax range this atom can be thrown via telekinesis

Procs

CanPassThroughReturns true or false to allow src to move through the blocker, mover has final say
CanReachA backwards depth-limited breadth-first-search to see if the target is logically "in" anything adjacent to us.
Crosseddefault byond proc that is deprecated for us in lieu of signals. do not call
Process_SpacemoveCalled whenever an object moves and by mobs when they attempt to move themselves through space And when an object or action applies a force on src, see newtonian_move
UncrossUncross() is a default BYOND proc that is called when something is going to exit this atom's turf. It is prefered over Uncrossed when you want to deny that movement, such as in the case of border objects, objects that allow you to walk through them in any direction except the one they block (think side windows).
Uncrosseddefault byond proc that is normally called on everything inside the previous turf a movable was in after moving to its current turf this is wasteful since the vast majority of objects do not use Uncrossed use connect_loc to register to COMSIG_ATOM_EXITED instead
abstract_movemeant for movement with zero side effects. only use for objects that are supposed to move "invisibly" (like camera mobs or ghosts) if you want something to move onto a tile with a beartrap or recycler or tripmine or mouse without that object knowing about it at all, use this most of the time you want forceMove()
add_blocked_languageAdds a language to the blocked language list. Use this over remove_language in cases where you will give languages back later.
admin_teleportProc to hook user-enacted teleporting behavior and keep logging of the event.
attacked_byCalled from /obj/item/proc/attack_obj and /obj/item/proc/attack if the attack succeeds
become_area_sensitiveallows this movable to know when it has "entered" another area no matter how many movable atoms its stuffed into, uses important_recursive_contents

Proc Details

CanPassThrough

Returns true or false to allow src to move through the blocker, mover has final say

CanReach

A backwards depth-limited breadth-first-search to see if the target is logically "in" anything adjacent to us.

Crossed

default byond proc that is deprecated for us in lieu of signals. do not call

Process_Spacemove

Called whenever an object moves and by mobs when they attempt to move themselves through space And when an object or action applies a force on src, see newtonian_move

Return 0 to have src start/keep drifting in a no-grav area and 1 to stop/not start drifting

Mobs should return 1 if they should be able to move of their own volition, see /client/proc/Move

Arguments:

Uncross

Uncross() is a default BYOND proc that is called when something is going to exit this atom's turf. It is prefered over Uncrossed when you want to deny that movement, such as in the case of border objects, objects that allow you to walk through them in any direction except the one they block (think side windows).

While being seemingly harmless, most everything doesn't actually want to use this, meaning that we are wasting proc calls for every single atom on a turf, every single time something exits it, when basically nothing cares.

This overhead caused real problems on Sybil round #159709, where lag attributed to Uncross was so bad that the entire master controller collapsed and people made Among Us lobbies in OOC.

If you want to replicate the old Uncross() behavior, the most apt replacement is [/datum/element/connect_loc] while hooking onto [COMSIG_ATOM_EXIT].

Uncrossed

default byond proc that is normally called on everything inside the previous turf a movable was in after moving to its current turf this is wasteful since the vast majority of objects do not use Uncrossed use connect_loc to register to COMSIG_ATOM_EXITED instead

abstract_move

meant for movement with zero side effects. only use for objects that are supposed to move "invisibly" (like camera mobs or ghosts) if you want something to move onto a tile with a beartrap or recycler or tripmine or mouse without that object knowing about it at all, use this most of the time you want forceMove()

add_blocked_language

Adds a language to the blocked language list. Use this over remove_language in cases where you will give languages back later.

admin_teleport

Proc to hook user-enacted teleporting behavior and keep logging of the event.

attacked_by

Called from /obj/item/proc/attack_obj and /obj/item/proc/attack if the attack succeeds

become_area_sensitive

allows this movable to know when it has "entered" another area no matter how many movable atoms its stuffed into, uses important_recursive_contents

become_hearing_sensitive

allows this movable to hear and adds itself to the important_recursive_contents list of itself and every movable loc its in

buckle_mob

Set a mob as buckled to src

If you want to have a mob buckling another mob to something, or you want a chat message sent, use user_buckle_mob instead. Arguments: M - The mob to be buckled to src force - Set to TRUE to ignore src's can_buckle and M's can_buckle_to check_loc - Set to FALSE to allow buckling from adjacent turfs, or TRUE if buckling is only allowed with src and M on the same turf. buckle_mob_flags- Used for riding cyborgs and humans if we need to reserve an arm or two on either the rider or the ridden mob. ignore_self - If set to TRUE, this will not do a check to see if the user can move into the turf of the mob and will just automatically mount them.

can_speak_language

Checks if atom can speak the language.

copy_languages

Copies all languages into the supplied atom/language holder. Source should be overridden when you do not want the language overwritten by later atom updates or want to avoid blocked languages.

could_speak_language

Returns the result of tongue specific limitations on spoken languages.

deadchat_plays

Adds the deadchat_plays component to this atom with simple movement commands.

Returns the component added. Arguments:

get_language_holder

Gets or creates the relevant language holder. For mindless atoms, gets the local one. For atom with mind, gets the mind one.

get_random_spoken_language

Gets a random spoken language, useful for forced speech and such.

get_random_understood_language

Gets a random understood language, useful for hallucinations and such.

get_selected_language

Returns selected language, if it can be spoken, or finds, sets and returns a new selected language if possible.

grant_all_languages

Grants every language.

grant_language

Grants the supplied language and sets omnitongue true.

has_buckled_mobs

Returns TRUE if there are mobs buckled to this atom and FALSE otherwise

has_language

Checks if atom has the language. If spoken is true, only checks if atom can speak the language.

is_buckle_possible

Simple helper proc that runs a suite of checks to test whether it is possible or not to buckle the target mob to src.

Returns FALSE if any conditions that should prevent buckling are satisfied. Returns TRUE otherwise. Called from /atom/movable/proc/buckle_mob and /atom/movable/proc/is_user_buckle_possible. Arguments:

is_user_buckle_possible

Simple helper proc that runs a suite of checks to test whether it is possible or not for user to buckle target mob to src.

Returns FALSE if any conditions that should prevent buckling are satisfied. Returns TRUE otherwise. Called from /atom/movable/proc/user_buckle_mob. Arguments:

keybind_face_direction

A wrapper for setDir that should only be able to fail by living mobs.

Called from [/atom/movable/proc/keyLoop], this exists to be overwritten by living mobs with a check to see if we're actually alive enough to change directions

mouse_buckle_handling

Does some typechecks and then calls user_buckle_mob

Arguments: M - The mob being buckled to src user - The mob buckling M to src

newtonian_move

Only moves the object if it's under no gravity

on_enter_storage

called when this atom is added into a storage item, which is passed on as S. The loc variable is already set to the storage item.

on_exit_storage

called when this atom is removed from a storage item, which is passed on as S. The loc variable is already set to the new destination before this is called.

Removes every language and sets omnitongue false.

remove_blocked_language

Removes a language from the blocked language list.

remove_language

Removes a single language.

setGrabState

Updates the grab state of the movable

This exists to act as a hook for behaviour

set_anchored

set_light_range_power_color

Helper to change several lighting overlay settings.

set_pulledby

Reports the event of the change in value of the pulledby variable.

shuttleRotate

Base /atom/movable proc

throw_at

If this returns FALSE then callback will not be called.

unbuckle_all_mobs

Call /atom/movable/proc/unbuckle_mob for all buckled mobs

unbuckle_mob

Set a mob as unbuckled from src

The mob must actually be buckled to src or else bad things will happen. Arguments: buckled_mob - The mob to be unbuckled force - TRUE if we should ignore buckled_mob.can_buckle_to

update_atom_languages

Empties out the atom specific languages and updates them according to the current atoms language holder. As a side effect, it also creates missing language holders in the process.

update_dynamic_luminosity

Keeps track of the sources of dynamic luminosity and updates our visibility with the highest.

user_buckle_mob

Handles a mob buckling another mob to src and sends a visible_message

Basically exists to do some checks on the user and then call buckle_mob where the real buckling happens. First, checks if the buckle is valid and cancels if it isn't. Second, checks if src is on a different turf from the target; if it is, does a do_after and another check for sanity Finally, calls /atom/movable/proc/buckle_mob to buckle the target to src then gives chat feedback Arguments:

user_unbuckle_mob

Handles a user unbuckling a mob from src and sends a visible_message

Basically just calls unbuckle_mob, sets fingerprint, and sends a visible_message about the user unbuckling the mob Arguments: buckled_mob - The mob/living to unbuckle user - The mob unbuckling buckled_mob
