BoundedCircularRandomCoordinate

A circular random coordinate with radius on center_x, center_y, reflected into low_x,low_y -> high_x,high_y, clamped in low,high, and rounded if round is set

Generally this proc is useful for placement around a point (eg a player) that must stay within map boundaries, or some similar circle in box constraint

A "donut" pattern can be achieved by varying the number supplied as radius outside the scope of the proc, eg as BoundedCircularRandomCoordinate(Frand(1, 3), ...)

Broadcast_Message

@param connection: The datum generated in radio.dm, stored in signal.data["connection"].

@param M: Reference to the mob/speaker, stored in signal.data["mob"]

@param vmask: Boolean value if the mob is "hiding" its identity via voice mask, stored in signal.data["vmask"]

@param vmessage: If specified, will display this as the message; such as "chimpering" for monkies if the mob is not understood. Stored in signal.data["vmessage"].

@param radio: Reference to the radio broadcasting the message, stored in signal.data["radio"]

@param message: The actual string message to display to mobs who understood mob M. Stored in signal.data["message"]

@param name: The name to display when a mob receives the message. signal.data["name"]

@param job: The name job to display for the AI when it receives the message. signal.data["job"]

@param realname: The "real" name associated with the mob. signal.data["realname"]

@param vname: If specified, will use this name when mob M is not understood. signal.data["vname"]

@param data: If specified: 1 -- Will only broadcast to intercoms 2 -- Will only broadcast to intercoms and station-bounced radios 3 -- Broadcast to syndicate frequency 4 -- AI can't track down this person. Useful for imitation broadcasts where you can't find the actual mob

@param compression: If 0, the signal is audible If nonzero, the signal may be partially inaudible or just complete gibberish.

@param level: The list of Z levels that the sending radio is broadcasting to. Having 0 in the list broadcasts on all levels

@param freq The frequency of the signal

@param channel_tag The "name" of the frequency. Displayed in brackets before the message

@param channel_color Color of the radio message
