Proc Details

bundlecopy

A public proc for copying bundles of paper

It iterates through each object in the bundle and calls papercopy() and photocopy() and stores the produce photo/paper in the bundle Arguments:

• bundle - The paper bundle object being copied
• scanning - If true, the paper bundle is stored inside the photocopier
• use_toner - If true, this operation uses toner, this is not done in copy() because partial bundles would be impossible otherwise

cancopy

An internal proc for checking if a photocopier is able to copy an object

It performs early checks/returns to see if the copier has any toner, if the copier is powered/working, if the copier is currently perfoming an action, or if we've hit the global copy limit. Used to inform the player in-game if they're using the photocopier incorrectly (no toner, no item inside, etc) Arguments:

• scancopy - If TRUE, cancopy does not check for an item on/inside the copier to copy, used for copying stored files

check_mob

Internal proc for checking the Mob on top of the copier Reports FALSE if there is no copymob or if the copymob is in a diff location than the copy machine, otherwise reports TRUE

copy

Public proc for copying items

Determines what item needs to be copied whether it's a mob's ass, paper, bundle, or photo and then calls the respective proc for it. Most toner var changing happens here so that the faxmachine child obj does not need to worry about toner Arguments:

• obj/item/C - The item stored inside the photocopier to be copied (obj/paper, obj/photo, obj/paper_bundle)
• scancopy - Indicates that obj/item/C is a stored file, we need to pass this on to cancopy() so it passes the check

papercopy

Public proc for copying paper objs

Takes a paper object and makes a copy of it. This proc specifically does not change toner which allows more versatile use for child objects returns null if paper failed to be copied and returns the new copied paper obj if succesful Arguments:

• obj/item/paper/copy - The paper obj to be copied
• scanning - If true, the photo is stored inside the photocopier and we do not check for toner
• bundled - If true the photo is stored inside the photocopier, used by bundlecopy() to construct paper bundles

photocopy

Public proc for copying photo objs

Takes a photo object and makes a copy of it. This proc specifically does not change toner which allows more versatile use for child objects returns null if photo failed to be copied and returns the new copied photo object if succesful Arguments:

• obj/item/photo/photocopy - The photo obj to be copied
• scanning - If true, the photo is stored inside the photocopier and we do not check for toner
• bundled - If true the photo is stored inside the photocopier, used by bundlecopy() to construct paper bundles
