cameranet

Vars

camerasThe cameras on the map, no matter if they work or not. Updated in obj/machinery/camera.dm by New() and Del().
chunksThe chunks of the map, mapping the areas that the cameras can see.
nameName to show for VV and stat()
obscured_imagesList of images cloned by all chunk static images put onto turfs cameras cant see Indexed by the plane offset to use

Procs

addCameraAdd a camera to a chunk.
bareMajorChunkChangeA faster, turf only version of /datum/cameranet/proc/majorChunkChange For use in sensitive code, be careful with it
checkCameraVisWill check if a mob is on a viewable turf. Returns 1 if it is, otherwise returns 0.
chunkGeneratedChecks if a chunk has been Generated in x, y, z.
majorChunkChangeNever access this proc directly!!!! This will update the chunk and all the surrounding chunks. It will also add the atom to the cameras list if you set the choice to 1. Setting the choice to 0 will remove the camera from the chunks. If you want to update the chunks around an object, without adding/removing a camera, use choice 2. update_delay_buffer is passed all the way to hasChanged() from portable camera updates on movement to change the time between static updates.
removeCameraRemoves a camera from a chunk.
updatePortableCameraUsed for Cyborg/mecha cameras. Since portable cameras can be in ANY chunk. update_delay_buffer is passed all the way to hasChanged() from their camera updates on movement to change the time between static updates.
updateVisibilityUpdates the chunks that the turf is located in. Use this when obstacles are destroyed or when doors open.
visibilityUpdates what the aiEye can see. It is recommended you use this when the aiEye moves or it's location is set.
