mob

Var Details

click_handlers

LAZYLIST (Instances of /datum/click_handler). Click handlers for this mob that should intercept and handle click calls.

The 'topmost'/'active' click handler for the mob is the handler currently at index 1. By default, this will be /datum/click_handler/default.

client_colors

The set of /datum/client_color currently applied to the mob, if any.

confused

Positive Integer. The mob's current confusion level. Ticks down every Fire() in SSMobs. See set_confused(), mod_confused(), clear_confused(), and is_confused().

do_unique_user_handle

Integer. Unique sequential ID from the do_after proc used to validate DO_USER_UNIQUE_ACT flag checks.

logout_time

Integer or null. Stores the world.time value at the time of Logout(). If null, the mob is either considered logged in or has never logged out.

rdr_by_type

A map of (type = instance) renderers in use by this mob.

rdr_to_plane

Renderers on /mob We attach renderers to mobs for their lifespan. Only mobs with clients get renderers, and they are removed again when the mob loses its client. Mobs get their own unique renderer instances but it would not be inconceivable to share them globally. A map of (instance = plane) renderers in use by this mob.

Parameters:

• A - The atom that was clicked on/interacted with.
• proximity_flag - Whether or not the mob was at range from the targeted atom. Generally, this is always 1 unless telekinesis was used, where this will be 0. This is not currently passed to attack_hand, and is instead used in human click code to allow glove touches only at melee range.
