Failsafe

Failsafe

Pretty much pokes the MC to make sure it's still alive.

Master

StonedMC

Designed to properly split up a given tick among subsystems Note: if you read parts of this code and think "why is it doing it that way" Odds are, there is a reason

SSfastprocess

obj/item/weapon/implant/integrated_circuit

SSrunechat

Maintains a timer-like system to handle destruction of runechat messages. Much of this code is modeled after or adapted from the timer subsystem.

Note that this has the same structure for storing and queueing messages as the timer subsystem does for handling timers: the bucket_list is a list of chatmessage datums, each of which are the head of a circularly linked list. Any given index in bucket_list could be null, representing an empty bucket.

SStgui

tgui subsystem

Contains all tgui state and subsystem code.

SStimer

Handles creation, callbacks, and destruction of timed events.

It is important to understand the buckets used in the timer subsystem are just a series of circular doubly-linked lists. The object at a given index in bucket_list is a /datum/timedevent, the head of a circular list, which has prev and next references for the respective elements in that bucket's circular list.

• @page hooks Code hooks

• @section hooks Hooks

• A hook is defined under /hook in the type tree.

• To add some code to be called by the hook, define a proc under the type, as so:

• @code /hook/foo/proc/bar() if(1) return TRUE //Sucessful else return FALSE //Error, or runtime.

• @endcode

• All hooks must return nonzero on success, as runtimes will force return null.

Calls a hook, executing every piece of code that's attached to it. @param hook Identifier of the hook to call. @returns 1 if all hooked code runs successfully, 0 otherwise.

Grabs a STATIC MODIFIER datum from cache. YOU MUST NEVER EDIT THESE DATUMS, OR IT WILL AFFECT ANYTHING ELSE USING IT TOO!

get_path_to

This file contains the stuff you need for using JPS (Jump Point Search) pathing, an alternative to A* that skips over large numbers of uninteresting tiles resulting in much quicker pathfinding solutions. Mind that diagonals cost the same as cardinal moves currently, so paths may look a bit strange, but should still be optimal.

This is the proc you use whenever you want to have pathfinding more complex than "try stepping towards the thing". If no path was found, returns an empty list, which is important for bots like medibots who expect an empty list rather than nothing.

Arguments:

• caller: The movable atom that's trying to find the path
• end: What we're trying to path to. It doesn't matter if this is a turf or some other atom, we're gonna just path to the turf it's on anyway
• max_distance: The maximum number of steps we can take in a given path to search (default: 30, 0 = infinite)
• mintargetdistance: Minimum distance to the target before path returns, could be used to get near a target, but not right to it - for an AI mob with a gun, for example.
• id: An ID card representing what access we have and what doors we can open. Its location relative to the pathing atom is irrelevant
• simulated_only: Whether we consider turfs without atmos simulation (AKA do we want to ignore space)
• exclude: If we want to avoid a specific turf, like if we're a mulebot who already got blocked by some turf
• skip_first: Whether or not to delete the first item in the path. This would be done because the first item is the starting tile, which can break movement for some creatures.

get_ranged_target_turf_direct

Get ranged target turf, but with direct targets as opposed to directions

Starts at atom A and gets the exact angle between A and target Moves from A with that angle, Range amount of times, until it stops, bound to map size Arguments:

• A - Initial Firer / Position
• target - Target to aim towards
• range - Distance of returned target turf from A
• offset - Angle offset, 180 input would make the returned target turf be in the opposite direction

get_sub_areas

Returns either null, or a list containing every sub area associated with our base area. If include_base is TRUE, the base area will also be added to the return list.

get_sub_areas_contents

Simple proc that returns a sum of all contents from every sub area, Think of the above but for all contents, not just turfs, and without target z.

get_sub_areas_turfs

Proc used for purposes similar to get_areas_turfs(), but aimed to include associated areas. Only accepts area instances and paths for the first arg, no text strings. Returns a list of all turfs found in the sub areas (including the base's if include_base is TRUE) and located in a z level matching target_z, or anywhere if target_z is 0

get_valid_screen_location

Returns a valid location to place a screen object without overflowing the viewport

• target: The target location as a purely number based screen_loc string "+-left-offset:+-pixel,+-bottom-offset:+-pixel"
• target_offset: The amount we want to offset the target location by. We explictly don't care about direction here, we will try all 4
• view: The view variable of the client we're doing this for. We use this to get the size of the screen

Returns a screen loc representing the valid location

get_vog_special

log_suspicious_login

Writes to a special log file if the log_suspicious_login config flag is set, which is intended to contain all logins that failed under suspicious circumstances.

Mirrors this log entry to log_access when access_log_mirror is TRUE, so this proc doesn't need to be used alongside log_access and can replace it where appropriate.

log_tgui

Appends a tgui-related log entry. All arguments are optional.

log_wound

log_wound() is for when someone is attacked and suffers a wound. Note that this only captures wounds from damage, so smites/forced wounds aren't logged, as well as demotions like cuts scabbing over

Note that this has no info on the attack that dealt the wound: information about where damage came from isn't passed to the bodypart's damaged proc. When in doubt, check the attack log for attacks at that same time TODO later: Add logging for healed wounds, though that will require some rewriting of healing code to prevent admin heals from spamming the logs. Not high priority

Arguments:

• victim- The guy who got wounded
• suffered_wound- The wound, already applied, that we're logging. It has to already be attached so we can get the limb from it
• dealt_damage- How much damage is associated with the attack that dealt with this wound.
• dealt_wound_bonus- The wound_bonus, if one was specified, of the wounding attack
• dealt_bare_wound_bonus- The bare_wound_bonus, if one was specified and applied, of the wounding attack. Not shown if armor was present
