hook_and_move

Lightweight datum that just handles moving a target for the hook. For the love of God, do not use this outside this file.

Vars
destination_ref	Weakref of the destination that the victim is heading towards.
firer_ref	Weakref to the firer of the hook
firer_ref_string	String to the REF() of the dude that fired us so we can ensure we always cleanup our traits
knockdown_time	How long we knockdown the victim for.
last_movement	The last time our movement fired.
prevent_movement_traits	List of traits that prevent the user from moving. More restrictive than attempting to fire the hook by design.
return_chain	The chain beam we currently own.
steps_per_tick	How many steps we force the victim to take per tick
victim_ref	Weakref to the victim we are dragging
Procs
attempt_movement	Attempts to move the victim towards the destination. Returns TRUE if we do a successful movement, FALSE otherwise. second_attempt is a boolean to prevent infinite recursion. If this whole series of events wasn't reliant on SSfastprocess firing as fast as it does, it would have been more useful to make this a move loop datum. But, we need the speed.
begin_pulling	Uses fastprocessing to move our victim to the destination at a rather fast speed.
end_movement	Cancels processing and removes the trait from the victim.

Proc Details

proc
attempt_movement
(/atom/movable/subject, /atom/target, second_attempt)

Attempts to move the victim towards the destination. Returns TRUE if we do a successful movement, FALSE otherwise. second_attempt is a boolean to prevent infinite recursion. If this whole series of events wasn't reliant on SSfastprocess firing as fast as it does, it would have been more useful to make this a move loop datum. But, we need the speed.

proc
begin_pulling
(/atom/movable/firer, /atom/movable/victim, /atom/destination)

Uses fastprocessing to move our victim to the destination at a rather fast speed.

proc
end_movement
()

Cancels processing and removes the trait from the victim.
