parrot

Parrots! Klepto bastards that imitate your speech and hoard your shit.

Vars
desired_perches	Contains all of the perches that parrots will generally sit on until something catches their eye.
ears	Headset for Poly to yell at engineers :)
edibles	Food that Poly loves to eat (spoiler alert it's just crackers)
forced_speech_cooldown	Tracks the times when we send a phrase through either being pet or attack to ensure it's not abused to flood
icon_sit	Icon we use while sitting
ignore_items	items we wont pick up
pet_commands	list of commands we follow
speech_blackboard_key	The blackboard key we use to store the string we're repeating
speech_probability_rate	The generic probability odds we have to do a speech-related action
speech_shuffle_rate	The generic probability odds we have to switch out our speech string
Procs
consume_cracker	Eats a cracker (or anything i guess). This would be nice to eventually fold into the basic_eating element but we do too much snowflake inventory code stuff for this to be reliable presently. We don't qdel the item here, we assume the invoking proc will have handled that somehow. Returns TRUE if we ate the thing.
drop_held_item	Handles dropping items we're holding. Gently is a special modifier we can use for special interactions.
early_melee_attack	Master proc which will determine the intent of OUR attacks on an object and summon the relevant procs accordingly. This is pretty much meant for players, AI will use the task-specific procs instead.
get_available_channels	Gets the available channels that this parrot has access to. Returns a list of the channels we can use.
get_phrase	Proc that handles sending the signal and returning a valid phrase to say. Will not do anything if we don't have a stat or if we're cliented. Will return either a string or null.
get_static_list_of_phrases	Gets a static list of phrases we wish to pass to the element.
mouse_drop_dragged	Proc that we just use to see if we're dragging onto stomething something for perch behavior or dropping the item we currently have
on_attacked	If we're right-clicked on with a cracker, we eat the cracker.
on_injured	Handles special behavior whenever we are injured.
on_pet	Proc that listens for when a parrot is pet so we can dispatch a voice line.
perch_on_human	Proc that will perch us on a human. Returns TRUE if we perched, FALSE otherwise.
put_in_hand_check	Picks up an item from the ground and puts it in our claws. Returns TRUE if we picked it up, FALSE otherwise.
setup_headset	Will simply set up the headset for the parrot to use. Stub, implemented on subtypes.
start_perching	Proc that ascertains the type of perch we're dealing with and starts the perching process. Returns TRUE if we started perching, FALSE otherwise.
steal_from_mob	Looks for an item that we can snatch and puts it in our claws. Returns TRUE if we picked it up, FALSE otherwise.
update_speech_blackboards	Updates our speech blackboards mob-side to reflect the current speech on the controller to ensure everything is synchronized.
