radio

Vars | |
broadcasting | Whether the radio will transmit dialogue it hears nearby into its radio channel. |
---|---|
canhear_range | Both the range around the radio in which mobs can hear what it receives and the range the radio can hear |
channels | associative list of the encrypted radio channels this radio is currently set to listen/broadcast to, of the form: list(channel name = TRUE or FALSE) |
command | If true, use_command can be toggled at will. |
emped | Tracks the number of EMPs currently stacked. |
freerange | If true, the radio has access to the full spectrum. |
freqlock | Frequency lock to stop the user from untuning specialist radios. |
frequency | the "default" radio frequency this radio is set to, listens and transmits to this frequency by default. wont work if the channel is encrypted |
independent | If true, can say/hear over non common channels without working tcomms equipment (for ERTs mostly). |
listening | Whether the radio is currently receiving radio messages from its radio frequencies. |
on | if FALSE, broadcasting and listening dont matter and this radio shouldnt do anything |
secure_radio_connections | associative list of the encrypted radio channels this radio can listen/broadcast to, of the form: list(channel name = channel frequency) |
should_be_broadcasting | used for tracking what broadcasting should be in the absence of things forcing it off, eg its set to broadcast but gets emp'd temporarily |
should_be_listening | used for tracking what listening should be in the absence of things forcing it off, eg its set to listen but gets emp'd temporarily |
subspace_switchable | If true, subspace_transmission can be toggled at will. |
subspace_transmission | If true, the radio transmits and receives on subspace exclusively. |
unscrewed | Whether wires are accessible. Toggleable by screwdrivering. |

Proc Details
can_receive
Checks if this radio can receive on the given frequency.
get_broadcasting
simple getter for the broadcasting variable. necessary due to VAR_PROTECTED
get_frequency
simple getter for the frequency variable. necessary due to VAR_PROTECTED
get_listening
simple getter for the listening variable. necessary due to VAR_PROTECTED
is_on
simple getter for the on variable. necessary due to VAR_PROTECTED
set_broadcasting
setter for broadcasting that makes us not hearing sensitive if not broadcasting and hearing sensitive if broadcasting hearing sensitive in this case only matters for the purposes of listening for words said in nearby tiles, talking into us directly bypasses hearing
- new_broadcasting- the new value we want to set broadcasting to
- actual_setting - whether or not the radio is supposed to be broadcasting, sets should_be_broadcasting to the new value if true, otherwise just changes broadcasting
set_listening
setter for the listener var, adds or removes this radio from the global radio list if we are also on
- new_listening - the new value we want to set listening to
- actual_setting - whether or not the radio is supposed to be listening, sets should_be_listening to the new listening value if true, otherwise just changes listening
set_on
setter for the on var that sets both broadcasting and listening to off or whatever they were supposed to be
