heretic_knowledge

The datums that allow heretics to progress and learn new spells and rituals.

Heretic Knowledge datums are not singletons - they are instantiated as they are given to heretics, and deleted if the heretic antagonist is removed.

Vars
abstract_parent_type	The abstract parent type of the knowledge, used in determine mutual exclusivity in some cases
banned_knowledge	What knowledge is incompatible with this. Knowledge in this list cannot be researched with this current knowledge.
cost	Cost of knowledge in knowlege points
desc	Description of the knowledge, shown to the heretic. Describes what it unlocks / does.
gain_text	What's shown to the heretic when the knowledge is aquired
mutually_exclusive	If TRUE, populates the banned_knowledge list of every other subtype of this knowledge's abstract_parent_type
name	Name of the knowledge, shown to the heretic.
next_knowledge	The knowledge this unlocks next after learning.
priority	The priority of the knowledge. Higher priority knowledge appear higher in the ritual list. Number itself is completely arbitrary. Does not need to be set for non-ritual knowledge.
required_atoms	Assoc list of [typepaths we need] to [amount needed]. If set, this knowledge allows the heretic to do a ritual on a transmutation rune with the components set.
result_atoms	Paired with above. If set, the resulting spawned atoms upon ritual completion.
route	What path is this on. If set to "null", assumed to be unreachable (or abstract).
Procs
can_be_invoked	Determines if a heretic can actually attempt to invoke the knowledge as a ritual. By default, we can only invoke knowledge with rituals associated.
cleanup_atoms	Called after on_finished_recipe returns TRUE and a ritual was successfully completed.
on_finished_recipe	Called whenever the knowledge's associated ritual is completed successfully.
on_gain	Called when the knowledge is applied to a mob. This can be called multiple times per heretic, in the case of bodyswap shenanigans.
on_lose	Called when the knowledge is removed from a mob, either due to a heretic being de-heretic'd or bodyswap memery.
on_research	Called when the knowledge is first researched. This is only ever called once per heretic.
recipe_snowflake_check	Special check for rituals. Called before any of the required atoms are checked.

Proc Details

proc
can_be_invoked
(/datum/antagonist/heretic/invoker)

Determines if a heretic can actually attempt to invoke the knowledge as a ritual. By default, we can only invoke knowledge with rituals associated.

Return TRUE to have the ritual show up in the rituals list, FALSE otherwise.

proc
cleanup_atoms
(/list/selected_atoms)

Called after on_finished_recipe returns TRUE and a ritual was successfully completed.

Goes through and cleans up (deletes) all atoms in the selected_atoms list.

Remove atoms from the selected_atoms (either in this proc or in on_finished_recipe) to NOT have certain atoms deleted on cleanup.

Arguments

selected_atoms - a list of all atoms we intend on destroying.

proc
on_finished_recipe
(/mob/living/user, /list/selected_atoms, /turf/loc)

Called whenever the knowledge's associated ritual is completed successfully.

Creates atoms from types in result_atoms. Override this is you want something else to happen. This CAN sleep, such as for summoning rituals which poll for ghosts.

Arguments

user - the mob who did the ritual
selected_atoms - an list of atoms chosen as a part of this ritual.
loc - the turf the ritual's occuring on

Returns: TRUE, if the ritual should cleanup afterwards, or FALSE, to avoid calling cleanup after.

proc
on_gain
(/mob/user)

Called when the knowledge is applied to a mob. This can be called multiple times per heretic, in the case of bodyswap shenanigans.

Arguments

user - the heretic which we're applying things to

proc
on_lose
(/mob/user)

Called when the knowledge is removed from a mob, either due to a heretic being de-heretic'd or bodyswap memery.

Arguments

user - the heretic which we're removing things from

proc
on_research
(/mob/user)

Called when the knowledge is first researched. This is only ever called once per heretic.

Arguments

user - the heretic who researched something

proc
recipe_snowflake_check
(/mob/living/user, /list/atoms, /list/selected_atoms, /turf/loc)

Special check for rituals. Called before any of the required atoms are checked.

If you are adding a more complex summoning, or something that requires a special check that parses through all the atoms, you should override this.

Arguments

user - the mob doing the ritual
atoms - a list of all atoms being checked in the ritual.
selected_atoms - an empty list(!) instance passed in by the ritual. You can add atoms to it in this proc.
loc - the turf the ritual's occuring on

Returns: TRUE, if the ritual will continue, or FALSE, if the ritual is skipped / cancelled
