random

Base class for all random spawners.

Vars
anchored	Stops persistent lootdrop spawns from being shoved into lockers
loot	A list of possible items to spawn e.g. list(/obj/item, /obj/structure, /obj/effect)
loot_subtype_path	The subtypes (this excludes the provided path) to combine with the loot list
loot_type_path	The subtypes AND type to combine with the loot list
remove_if_cant_spawn	Whether items that cannot be spawned will be removed from the loot list. Keep it TRUE unless you've a good reason.
spawn_all_loot	Whether the spawner should spawn all the loot in the list
spawn_loot_chance	The chance for the spawner to create loot (ignores spawn_loot_count)
spawn_loot_count	How many items will be spawned
spawn_loot_double	If the same item can be spawned twice
spawn_loot_split	Whether the items should be distributed to offsets 0,1,-1,2,-2,3,-3.. This overrides pixel_x/y on the spawner itself
spawn_loot_split_pixel_offsets	The pixel x/y divider offsets for spawn_loot_split (spaced 1 pixel apart by default)
spawn_random_offset	Whether the items should have a random pixel_x/y offset (maxium offset distance is Â±16 pixels for x/y)
spawn_scatter_radius	Determines how big of a range (in tiles) we should scatter things in.
Procs
get_spawn_locations	If the spawner has a spawn_scatter_radius set, this creates a list of nearby turfs available that are in view and have an unblocked line to them.
make_item	This helps keeping the modified weights more or less correct, since pick_weight doesn't appreciate decimals. Makes the actual item related to our spawner.
skew_loot_weights	Levels out the weights of loot if lower than 1, or makes rarer spawns even more rare.
spawn_loot	If the spawner has any loot defined, randomly picks some and spawns it. Does not cleanup the spawner.

–

The subtypes (this excludes the provided path) to combine with the loot list

var
loot_type_path
–

The subtypes AND type to combine with the loot list

var
remove_if_cant_spawn
–

Whether items that cannot be spawned will be removed from the loot list. Keep it TRUE unless you've a good reason.

var
spawn_all_loot
–

Whether the spawner should spawn all the loot in the list

var
spawn_loot_chance
–

The chance for the spawner to create loot (ignores spawn_loot_count)

var
spawn_loot_count
–

How many items will be spawned

var
spawn_loot_double
–

If the same item can be spawned twice

var
spawn_loot_split
–

Whether the items should be distributed to offsets 0,1,-1,2,-2,3,-3.. This overrides pixel_x/y on the spawner itself

var
spawn_loot_split_pixel_offsets
–

Proc Details

proc
get_spawn_locations
(radius)

If the spawner has a spawn_scatter_radius set, this creates a list of nearby turfs available that are in view and have an unblocked line to them.

proc
make_item
(spawn_loc, type_path_to_make)

This helps keeping the modified weights more or less correct, since pick_weight doesn't appreciate decimals. Makes the actual item related to our spawner.

spawn_loc - where are we spawning it? type_path_to_make - what are we spawning?

proc
skew_loot_weights
(/list/loot_list, exponent)

Levels out the weights of loot if lower than 1, or makes rarer spawns even more rare.

proc
spawn_loot
(lootcount_override)

If the spawner has any loot defined, randomly picks some and spawns it. Does not cleanup the spawner.
