Proc Details

proc
absorb_dna
(/mob/living/carbon/C)

Absorb the the target's DNA and their languages.

Arguments:

mob/living/carbon/C - the mob to absorb DNA from

proc
add_new_languages
(/list/new_languages)

Store the languages from the new_languages list into the absorbed_languages list. Teaches the changeling the new languages.

Arguments:

list/new_languages - a list of /datum/language to be added

proc
can_absorb_dna
(/mob/living/carbon/target)

Returns TRUE if the changeling can absorb the target mob's DNA.

Arguments:

mob/living/carbon/target - the mob's DNA we're trying to absorb

proc
get_dna
(/datum/dna/tDNA)

Gets a /datum/dna that matches the passed in tDNA. Also used as a check to see if the changeling has this DNA already stored.

Arguments:

datum/dna/tDNA - a reference to a DNA datum that we want to find

proc
get_powers_of_type
(power_type)

Gets a list of changeling action typepaths based on the passed in power_type.

Arguments:

power_type - should be a define related to /datum/action/changeling/var/power_type.

proc
give_power
(/datum/action/changeling/power, /mob/living/changeling, take_cost)

Gives the changeling the passed in power. Subtracts the cost of the power from our genetic points.

Arugments:

datum/action/changeling/power - the power to give to the changeling.
mob/living/changeling - the changeling who owns this datum. Optional argument.
take_cost - if we should spend genetic points when giving the power

proc
remove_changeling_powers
(keep_innate_powers)

Removes a changeling's abilities.

Arguments:

keep_innate_powers - set to TRUE if changeling actions with a power_type of CHANGELING_INNATE_POWER should be kept.

proc
remove_unnatural_languages
(/mob/living/L)

Removes all the languages the mob L has absorbed throughout their life as a changeling and should no longer have.

Ignores languages the player has chosen from character creation, and species languages from the changeling mob's current species.

Arguments:

mob/living/L - the changeling mob to remove languages from

proc
respec
(keep_innate_powers, reset_genetic_points)

Resets a changeling to the point they were when they first became a changeling, i.e no genetic points to spend, no non-innate powers, etc.

proc
select_dna
(message, title, not_in_bank)

Prompt the changeling with a list of names associated with their stored DNA. Return a /datum/dna based on the name chosen.

Arguments:

message - the message of the input() window
title - the title of the input() window
not_in_bank - if we should filter out DNA that's already in the hivemind bank

proc
store_dna
(/datum/dna/new_dna)

Store the target DNA. If the DNA belongs to one of the changeling's "escape with identity" objectives, make the DNA protected.

Arguments:

datum/dna/new_dna - the DNA to store

proc
trim_dna
()

Clears the most "stale" DNA from the absorbed_dna list.

proc
try_respec
()

Respec the changeling's powers after first checking if they're able to respec.

proc
update_languages
()

Teach the changeling every language in the absorbed_language list. Already known languages will be ignored.

proc
using_stale_dna
()

Determines if the changeling's current DNA is stale.
