/datum/element

A holder for simple behaviour that can be attached to many different types

Only one element of each type is instanced during game init. Otherwise acts basically like a lightweight component.

Vars

element_flags	Option flags for element behaviour
Procs
Attach	Activates the functionality defined by the element on the given target datum
Detach	Deactivates the functionality defines by the element on the given datum

Var Details

The index of the first attach argument to consider for duplicate elements

All arguments from this index onwards (1 based) are hashed into the key to determine if this is a new unique element or one already exists

Is only used when flags contains ELEMENT_BESPOKE

This is infinity so you must explicitly set this

Option flags for element behaviour

Activates the functionality defined by the element on the given target datum

Deactivates the functionality defines by the element on the given datum
