| − | If it bleeds, it leads. Beings inherit from the [[Modding:Thing|Thing]] base class which handles some basic properties in common with items. In addition the [[Modding:Player|Player]] inherits this class, so anything you can do to creatures can be done to the player as well.
| + | Within the context of modding a 'being' can refer to: |
| | | | |
| − | == Prototype ==
| + | * The [[Modding:being_blueprint (0.9.9.7)|being blueprint]], a structure used to define beings |
| − | | + | * The [[Modding:being_API (0.9.9.7)|being API]], a set of functions which can be used to manipulate beings during gameplay |
| − | New beings are created from being prototypes. Think of a being prototype as a recipe for creating new beings. There can be multiple former humans, but they all came from the same prototype. Prototypes are declared by passing a table with the desired properties to the Beings function. [[#Engine Hooks|Engine hooks]] may also be included in the prototype. Mostly, the prototype's properties just describe beings' initial properties (occasionally with different names). Beings' properties can also mostly be changed after they are instantiated. Required fields are underlined. Sometimes required fields can safely be omitted, but this will generate a message in the log file. All being prototypes are stored in a global table called beings. This table can be indexed by id or nid.
| + | * The [[Modding:being_object (0.9.9.7)|being object]], an object that inherits from [[Modding:thing|thing]] which represents creatures in-game as standard, alterable objects |

| − | :This attempts to calculate a path between the being and ''target''. The ''cutoff'' and ''maximum'' parameters are somewhat technical, but basically they indicate how much time should be spend searching for a path. DoomRL uses 40, 200 for bosses and 10, 40 for normal enemies. The path will be remembered by the being, and can be followed using path_next. Modders should keep in mind that path-finding is a somewhat expensive operation, especially for large ''cutoff'' and ''maximum''. The return value indicates whether a path was found. Even if no path was found, a path will be loaded that will try to take the being closer to the target (although this path may be empty). This uses the AStar searching algorithm using Euclidean distance as a heuristic. The search is aborted if ''maximum'' nodes are expanded without finding the target or it ''cutoff'' nodes are expanded without getting closer to the target. When aborted, a path is created to the closest expanded node to the target in terms of the heuristic.

If it is closer than ''mind'', then a position opposite from the closest with respect to the being is returned.
