ghost_role

these mob spawn subtypes do not trigger until attacked by a ghost.

Vars
ckeys_trying_to_spawn	A list of the ckeys that currently are trying to access this spawner, so that they can't try to spawn more than once (in case there's sleeps). Static because you only really want to be able to spawn in one spawner at a time, obviously.
deletes_on_zero_uses_left	Does the spawner delete itself when it runs out of uses?
flavour_text	This should be the actual instructions/description/context to the ghost role. This should be the really long explainy bit, basically.
important_text	This is critical non-policy information about the ghost role. Shown in the spawner menu and after spawning last.
prompt_ghost	if false, you won't prompt for this role. best used for replacing the prompt system with something else like a radial, or something.
prompt_name	a short, lowercase name for the mob used in possession prompt that pops up on ghost attacks. must be set.
role_ban	/bans and policy which role to check for a job ban (ROLE_LAVALAND is the default ghost role ban)
show_flavor	Show these on spawn? Usually used for hardcoded special flavor
spawner_job_path	Typepath indicating the kind of job datum this ghost role will have. PLEASE inherit this with a new job datum, it's not hard. jobs come with policy configs.
temp_body	Whether this offers a temporary body or not. Essentially, you'll be able to reenter your body after using this spawner.
uses	how many times this spawner can be used (it won't delete unless it's out of uses and the var to delete itself is set)
you_are_text	/descriptions This should be the declaration of what the ghost role is, and maybe a short blurb after if you want. Shown in the spawner menu and after spawning first.
Procs
allow_spawn	override this to add special spawn conditions to a ghost role
check_uses	Checks if the spawner has zero uses left, if so, delete yourself... NOW!
create_from_ghost	Uses a use and creates a mob from a passed ghost

Proc Details

proc
allow_spawn
(/mob/user, silent)

override this to add special spawn conditions to a ghost role

proc
check_uses
()

Checks if the spawner has zero uses left, if so, delete yourself... NOW!

proc
create_from_ghost
(/mob/dead/user)

Uses a use and creates a mob from a passed ghost

Does NOT validate that the spawn is possible or valid - assumes this has been done already!

If you are manually forcing a player into this mob spawn, you should be using this and not directly calling [proc/create].
