Proc Details

InsertID

InsertID Attempt to insert the ID in either card slot, if ID is present - attempts swap Args: inserting_id - the ID being inserted user - The person inserting the ID

RemoveID

Removes the ID card from the computer, and puts it in loc's hand if it's a mob Args: user - The mob trying to remove the ID, if there is one silent - Boolean, determines whether fluff text would be printed

add_shell_component

Initialize the shell for this item, or the physical machinery it belongs to.

alert_call

Displays notification text alongside a soundbeep when requested to by a program.

After checking that the requesting program is allowed to send an alert, creates a visible message of the requested text alongside a soundbeep. This proc adds text to indicate that the message is coming from this device and the program on it, so the supplied text should be the exact message and ending punctuation.

Arguments: The program calling this proc. The message that the program wishes to display.

can_store_file

can_store_file

Checks if a computer can store a file, as computers can only store unique files. returns TRUE if possible, FALSE otherwise.

check_power_override

Returns TRUE if the PC should not be using any power, FALSE otherwise. Checks to see if the current app allows to be ran without power, if so we'll run with it.

find_file_by_name

find_file_by_name

Will check all applications in a tablet for files and, if they have
the same filename (disregarding extension), will return it. If a computer disk is passed instead, it will check the disk over the computer.

find_file_by_uid

find_file_by_uid

Will check all files in this computer and returns the file with the matching uid. A file's uid is always unique to them, so this proc is sometimes preferable over find_file_by_name. If a computer disk is passed instead, it will check the disk over the computer.

get_files

Get all stored files, including external disk files optionaly

get_messenger_ending

Returns a string of what to send at the end of messenger's messages.

handle_power

Takes the charge necessary from the Computer, shutting it off if it's unable to provide it. Charge depends on whether the PC is on, and what programs are running/idle on it.

imprint_id

Imprints name and job into the modular computer, and calls back to necessary functions. Acts as a replacement to directly setting the imprints fields. All fields are optional, the proc will try to fill in missing gaps.

play_ping

Plays a ping sound.

Timers runtime if you try to make them call playsound. Yep.

power_failure

Shuts down the computer from powerloss.

remove_file

remove_file

Removes a given file from the computer, if possible. Properly checking if the file even exists and is in the computer. Returns TRUE if successfully completed, FALSE otherwise

reset_imprint

Resets the imprinted name and job back to null.

set_flashlight_color

Sets the computer's light color, if it has a light.

Called from ui_act(), this proc takes a color string and applies it. It is separated from ui_act() to be overwritten as needed. Arguments:

store_file

store_file

Adds an already initialized file to the computer, checking if one already exists. Returns TRUE if successfully stored, FALSE otherwise.

toggle_flashlight

Toggles the computer's flashlight, if it has one.

Called from ui_act(), does as the name implies. It is separated from ui_act() to be overwritten as needed.

update_tablet_open_uis

update_tablet_open_uis

Will search the user to see if they have the tablet open. If they don't, we'll open a new UI depending on the tab the tablet is meant to be on. If they do, we'll update the interface and title, then update all static data and re-send assets.

This is best called when you're actually changing the app, as we don't check if we're swapping to the current UI repeatedly. Args: user - The person whose UI we're updating. Only necessary if we're opening the UI for the first time.

use_energy

Draws power from its rightful source (area if its a computer, the cell otherwise) Takes into account special cases, like silicon PDAs through override, and nopower apps.

use_energy_for_circuits

Try to draw power from our internal cell first, before switching to that of the circuit.
