summon_weapon

A singular summoned object

How summon weapons work:

Reset() - makes it go back to its master. Target() - locks onto a target for a duration

The biggest challenge is synchronizing animations. Variables keep track of when things tick, but, animations are client-timed, and not server-timed

Animations: The weapon can only track its "intended" angle and dist "Current" pixel x/y are always calculated relative to a target from the current orbiting atom the physical effect is on There's 3 animations, MoveTo(location, angle, dist, rotation) Orbit(location) Rotate(degrees)

And an non-animation that just snaps it to a location, HardReset(location)

Vars
angle	current angle from victim - clockwise from 0. null if not attacking.
angle_vary	rand dist to rotate during reattack phase
animation_lock	animation locked until
animation_timerid	animation lock timer
appearance	mutable_appearance to use, will skip making from icon/icon state if so
atom	the actual effect
attack_damage	attack damage
attack_length	attack length in deciseconds - this is the attack animation speed in total
attack_sound	attack sound
attack_speed	attack delay in deciseconds - this is time spent between attacks
attack_type	attack damtype
attack_verb	attack verb
dist	current distance from victim - pixels
host	host
icon	icon file
icon_state	icon state
name	name
orbit_dist	orbit distance from victim - pixels
orbit_dist_vary	orbit distance variation from victim
reset_speed	reset animation duration
reset_timerid	reset timerid
rotation	current rotation - angles clockwise from north
state	current state
victim	currently locked attack target
Procs
MoveTo	relative to defaults to current location
Rotate	rotation defaults to facing towards locked atom
