element

A holder for simple behaviour that can be attached to many different types

Only one element of each type is instanced during game init. Otherwise acts basically like a lightweight component.

Vars
argument_hash_end_idx	The index of the last attach argument to consider for duplicate elements Only used when `element_flags` contains ELEMENT_BESPOKE. If not set, it'll copy every argument from `argument_hash_start_idx` onwards as normal
argument_hash_start_idx	The index of the first attach argument to consider for duplicate elements
element_flags	Option flags for element behaviour
Procs
Attach	Activates the functionality defined by the element on the given target datum
Detach	Deactivates the functionality defines by the element on the given datum

Var Details

var
argument_hash_end_idx
–

The index of the last attach argument to consider for duplicate elements Only used when element_flags contains ELEMENT_BESPOKE. If not set, it'll copy every argument from argument_hash_start_idx onwards as normal

var
argument_hash_start_idx
–

The index of the first attach argument to consider for duplicate elements

All arguments from this index onwards (1 based, until argument_hash_end_idx is reached, if set) are hashed into the key to determine if this is a new unique element or one already exists

Is only used when flags contains ELEMENT_BESPOKE

This is infinity so you must explicitly set this

var
element_flags
–

Option flags for element behaviour

Proc Details
