Define Details
INITIALIZATION_INNEW_MAPLOAD
New should call Initialize(TRUE)
INITIALIZATION_INNEW_REGULAR
New should call Initialize(FALSE)
INITIALIZATION_INSSATOMS
New should not call Initialize
INITIALIZE_HINT_LATELOAD
call LateInitialize at the end of all atom Initalization
The item will be added to the late_loaders list, this is iterated over after initalization of subsystems is complete and calls LateInitalize on the atom see this file for the LateIntialize proc
INITIALIZE_HINT_NORMAL
Nothing happens
INITIALIZE_HINT_QDEL
Call qdel on the atom after intialization
INITIALIZE_HINT_QDEL_FORCE
Call qdel with a force of TRUE after initialization
INITIALIZE_IMMEDIATE
type and all subtypes should always immediately call Initialize in New()
SS_INIT_TIMER_KEY
The timer key used to know how long subsystem initialization takes
TIMER_CLIENT_TIME
Timing should be based on how timing progresses on clients, not the server.
Tracking this is more expensive, should only be used in conjuction with things that have to progress client side, such as animate() or sound()
TIMER_DELETE_ME
Delete the timer on parent datum Destroy() and when deltimer'd
TIMER_ID_NULL
Empty ID define
TIMER_LOOP
Loops the timer repeatedly until qdeleted
In most cases you want a subsystem instead, so don't use this unless you have a good reason
TIMER_NO_HASH_WAIT
prevents distinguishing identical timers with the wait variable
To be used with TIMER_UNIQUE
TIMER_OVERRIDE
For unique timers: Replace the old timer rather then not start this one
TIMER_STOPPABLE
Timer can be stopped using deltimer()
TIMER_UNIQUE
Don't run if there is an identical unique timer active
if the arguments to addtimer are the same as an existing timer, it doesn't create a new timer, and returns the id of the existing timer
addtimer
Create a new timer and add it to the queue.
- Arguments:
-
- callback the callback to call on timer finish
-
- wait deciseconds to run the timer for
-
- flags flags for this timer, see: code__DEFINES\subsystems.dm
-
- timer_subsystem the subsystem to insert this timer into
