mecha

WELCOME TO MECHA.DM, ENJOY YOUR STAY

Mechs are now (finally) vehicles, this means you can make them multicrew They can also grant select ability buttons based on occupant bitflags

Movement is handled through vehicle_move() which is called by relaymove Clicking is done by way of signals registering to the entering mob NOTE: MMIS are NOT mobs but instead contain a brain that is, so you need special checks AI also has special checks becaus it gets in and out of the mech differently Always call remove_occupant(mob) when leaving the mech so the mob is removed properly

For multi-crew, you need to set how the occupants receive ability bitflags corresponding to their status on the vehicle(i.e: driver, gunner etc) Abilities can then be set to only apply for certain bitflags and are assigned as such automatically

Clicks are wither translated into mech_melee_attack (see mech_melee_attack.dm) Or are used to call action() on equipped gear Cooldown for gear is on the mech because exploits Cooldown for melee is on mech_melee_attack also because exploits
