Procs | |
| display_turf | Displays a turf from the z level below us on our level |
| hide_turf | Basically, if we used to be under a non transparent turf, but are no longer in that position Then we add to the transparent turf we're now under, and nuke the old object Hides an existing turf from our vis_contents, or the vis_contents of the source if applicable |
| parent_cleared | Called when a transparent turf is cleared. We wait a tick, then check to see what Kind of turf replaced our former holder, and resetup our visuals as desired We do not need to do this for non transparent holders, because they will have their abstract object cleared When a transparent holder comes back. |
| refresh_orphan | Runs the actual refresh of some formerly orphaned via vis_loc deletiong turf We'll only reup if we either have no souece, or if the source is a transparent turf |
