| SET_BASE_PIXEL | Use this to set the base and ACTUAL pixel offsets of an object at the same time You should always use this for pixel setting in typepaths, unless you want the map display to look different from in game |
|---|---|
| DO_FLOATING_ANIM | Causes the passed atom / image to appear floating, playing a simple animation where they move up and down by 2 pixels (looping) |
| STOP_FLOATING_ANIM | Stops the passed atom / image from appearing floating (Living mobs also have a 'body_position_pixel_y_offset' variable that has to be taken into account here) |

Define Details
DO_FLOATING_ANIM
Causes the passed atom / image to appear floating, playing a simple animation where they move up and down by 2 pixels (looping)
In most cases you should NOT call this manually, instead use /datum/element/movetype_handler! This is just so you can apply the animation to things which can be animated but are not movables (like images)
SET_BASE_PIXEL
Use this to set the base and ACTUAL pixel offsets of an object at the same time You should always use this for pixel setting in typepaths, unless you want the map display to look different from in game
STOP_FLOATING_ANIM
