Telecommunications Core

The core of the entire telecomms operation

This thing basically handles the main broadcasting of the data, as well as NTTC configs The relays dont do any actual processing, they are just objects which can bring tcomms to another zlevel

Var Details

link_password

Password for linking stuff together

linked_relays

List of all linked relays

nttc

The NTTC config for this device

reachable_zlevels

List of all reachable devices

ui_tab

What tab of the UI were currently on

Proc Details

Destroy

Destructor for the core.

Ensures that the machine is taken out of the global list when destroyed, and also unlinks all connected relays

Initialize

Initializer for the core.

Calls parent to ensure its added to the GLOB of tcomms machines, before generating a link password and adding itself to the list of reachable Zs.

check_power_on

Power-on checker

Checks the z-level to see if an existing core is already powered on, and deny this one turning on if there is one. Returns TRUE if it can power on, or FALSE if it cannot

handle_message

Proc which takes in the message datum

Some checks are ran on the signal, and NTTC is applied After that, it is broadcasted out to the required Z-levels

Arguments:

• tcm - The tcomms message datum

onTransitZ

Z-Level transit change helper

Handles parent call of disabling the machine if it changes Z-level, but also rebuilds the list of reachable levels

refresh_zlevels

Proc to remake the list of available zlevels

Loops through the list of connected relays and adds their zlevels in. This is called if a relay is added or removed

zlevel_reachable

Helper to see if a zlevel is reachable

This is a simple check to see if the input z-level is in the list of reachable ones Returns TRUE if it can, FALSE if it cant

Arguments:

• zlevel - The input z level to test
