Procs

try_to_stingContrary to the name, this proc isn't just used by changeling stings. It handles the activation of the action and the deducation of its cost. The order of the proc chain is: can_sting(). Should this fail, the process gets aborted early. sting_action(). This proc usually handles the actual effect of the action. Should sting_action succeed the following will be done: sting_feedback(). Produces feedback on the performed action. Don't ask me why this isn't handled in sting_action() The deduction of the cost of this power. Returns TRUE on a successful activation.
