species

Datum that handles different species in the game.

This datum handles species in the game, such as lizardpeople, mothmen, zombies, skeletons, etc. It is used in carbon humans to determine various things about them, like their food preferences, if they have biological genders, their damage resistances, and more.

Vars
armor	Percentage modifier for overall defense of the race, or less defense, if it's negative.
ass_image	For custom overrides for species ass images
attack_type	Type of damage attack does. Ethereals attack with burn damage for example.
attack_verb	Punch-specific attack verb.
breathid	What gas does this species breathe? Used by suffocation screen alerts, most of actual gas breathing is handled by mutantlungs. See [life.dm][code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/life.dm]
brutemod	multiplier for brute damage
burnmod	multiplier for burn damage
cold_offset	moves their safe minimum temp by this value.
coldmod	multiplier for damage from cold temperature
damage_overlay_type	What kind of damage overlays (if any) appear on our species when wounded? If this is "", does not add an overlay.
disliked_food	Bitfield for food types that the species dislikes, giving them disgust. Humans hate raw food, for example.
exotic_blood	If your race bleeds something other than bog standard blood, change this to reagent id. For example, ethereals bleed liquid electricity.
exotic_blood_blend_mode	Which blend mode should this species blood use?
exotic_blood_color	Assume human as the default blood colour, override this default by species subtypes
exotic_bloodtype	If your race uses a non standard bloodtype (A+, O-, AB-, etc). For example, lizards have L type blood.
family_heirlooms	List of family heirlooms this species can get with the family heirloom quirk. List of types.
fixed_mut_color	To use MUTCOLOR with a fixed color that's independent of the mcolor feature in DNA.
fly	The actual flying ability given to flying species
flying_species	Is this species a flying species? Used as an easy check for some things
grab_sound	Special sound for grabbing
grad_color	The gradient color used to color the gradient.
grad_style	The gradient style used for the mob's hair.
hair_alpha	The alpha used by the hair. 255 is completely solid, 0 is invisible.
hair_color	This allows races to have specific hair colors. If null, it uses the H's hair/facial hair colors. If "mutcolor", it uses the H's mutant_color. If "fixedmutcolor", it uses fixedmutcolor
heatmod	multiplier for damage from hot temperature
hot_offset	moves their safe maximum temp by this value.
id	If the game needs to manually check your race to do something not included in a proc here, it will use this.
inert_mutation	Special mutation that can be found in the genepool exclusively in this species. Dont leave empty or changing species will be a headache
inherent_biotypes	List of biotypes the mob belongs to. Used by diseases.
inherent_traits	Generic traits tied to having the species.
liked_food	Bitfield for food types that the species likes, giving them a mood boost. Lizards like meat, for example.

mutant_bodyparts	Visible CURRENT bodyparts that are unique to a species. DO NOT USE THIS AS A LIST OF ALL POSSIBLE BODYPARTS AS IT WILL FUCK SHIT UP! Changes to this list for non-species specific bodyparts (ie cat ears and tails) should be assigned at organ level if possible. Assoc values are defaults for given bodyparts, also modified by aforementioned organs. They also allow for faster '[]' list access versus 'in'. Other than that, they are useless right now. Layer hiding is handled by [/datum/species/proc/handle_mutant_bodyparts] below.

mutantliver	Replaces default liver with a different organ
mutantstomach	Replaces default stomach with a different organ
mutanttail	CIT SPECIFIC Mutant tail
mutanttongue	Replaces default tongue with a different organ
name	This is the fluff name. They are displayed on health analyzers and in the character setup menu. Leave them generic for other servers to customize.

nojumpsuit	Allows the species to equip items that normally require a jumpsuit without having one equipped. Used by golems.

skinned_type	What skin the species drops when gibbed by a gibber machine.
special_step_sounds	Sounds to override barefeet walking
species_language_holder	What languages this species can understand and say. Use a language holder datum in this var.

Proc Details

proc
check_roundstart_eligible
()

Checks if a species is eligible to be picked at roundstart.

Checks the config to see if this species is allowed to be picked in the character setup menu. Used by /proc/generate_selectable_species.

proc
copy_properties_from
(/datum/species/old_species)

Copies some vars and properties over that should be kept when creating a copy of this species.

Used by slimepeople to copy themselves, and by the DNA datum to hardset DNA to a species Arguments:

old_species - The species that the carbon used to be before copying

proc
get_biological_state
(/mob/living/carbon/human/H)

The human species version of /mob/living/carbon/proc/get_biological_state. Depends on the HAS_FLESH and HAS_BONE species traits, having bones lets you have bone wounds, having flesh lets you have burn, slash, and piercing wounds

proc
handle_digestion
(/mob/living/carbon/human/H)

LIFE

proc
on_species_gain
(/mob/living/carbon/C, /datum/species/old_species, pref_load)

Proc called when a carbon becomes this species.

This sets up and adds/changes/removes things, qualities, abilities, and traits so that the transformation is as smooth and bugfree as possible. Produces a [COMSIG_SPECIES_GAIN] signal. Arguments:

C - Carbon, this is whoever became the new species.
old_species - The species that the carbon used to be before becoming this race, used for regenerating organs.
pref_load - Preferences to be loaded from character setup, loads in preferred mutant things like bodyparts, digilegs, skin color, etc.

proc
random_name
(gender, unique, lastname)

Generates a random name for a carbon.

This generates a random unique name based on a human's species and gender. Arguments:

gender - The gender that the name should adhere to. Use MALE for male names, use anything else for female names.
unique - If true, ensures that this new name is not a duplicate of anyone else's name currently on the station.
lastname - Does this species' naming system adhere to the last name system? Set to false if it doesn't.

proc
regenerate_organs
(/mob/living/carbon/C, /datum/species/old_species, replace_current)

Corrects organs in a carbon, removing ones it doesn't need and adding ones it does.

Takes all organ slots, removes organs a species should not have, adds organs a species should have. can use replace_current to refresh all organs, creating an entirely new set.

Arguments:

C - carbon, the owner of the species datum AKA whoever we're regenerating organs in
old_species - datum, used when regenerate organs is called in a switching species to remove old mutant organs.
replace_current - boolean, forces all old organs to get deleted whether or not they pass the species' ability to keep that organ
excluded_zones - list, add zone defines to block organs inside of the zones from getting handled. see headless mutation for an example
