Proc Details

FindOrCreateMaterialCombo

Returns a list to be used as an object's custom_materials. Lists will be cached and re-used based on the parameters.

GetIdFromArguments

• I'm not going to lie, this was swiped from SSdcs.

• Credit does to ninjanomnom

• Generates an id for bespoke elements materials when given the argument list

• Generating the id here is a bit complex because we need to support named arguments

• Named arguments can appear in any order and we need them to appear after ordered arguments

• We assume that no one will pass in a named argument with a value of null

InitializeMaterial

• Creates and caches a material datum.

• Arguments:

• • arguments: The arguments to use to create the material datum
• • The first element is the type of material to initialize.

InitializeMaterials

Ran on initialize, populated the materials and materials_by_category dictionaries with their appropriate vars (See these variables for more info)

_GetMaterialRef

• Fetches a cached material singleton when passed sufficient arguments.

• Arguments:

• • arguments: The list of arguments used to fetch the material ref.
• • The first element is a material datum, text string, or material type.

• - [Material datums][/datum/material] are assumed to be references to the cached datum and are returned
  

• - Text is assumed to be the text ID of a material and the corresponding material is fetched from the cache
  

• - A material type is checked for bespokeness:
  

•   - If the material type is not bespoke the type is assumed to be the id for a material and the corresponding material is loaded from the cache.
  

•   - If the material type is bespoke a text ID is generated from the arguments list and used to load a material datum from the cache.
  

• • The following elements are used to generate bespoke IDs
