SETUP_GENERIC_ACTIONBAR

Creates an actionbar that calls the specified proc_path on -either- owner or target if the duration passes without interruption.

icon / icon_state can also be set. duration should be in seconds. end_message is a string that displays once the action succeeds.

You can also directly instantiate a callback actionbar if you need to modify variables on it that the macro doesnt easily let you do. For instance, callback actionbars have an args variable you can modify to call the callback proc with arguements. Just make sure to start it once its been made!

Example:

/obj/item/foo
	name = "foo"
	icon = 'icons/obj/foo.dmi'
	icon_state = "foo"

	attack_self(var/mob/M)
		M.visible_message("[M] starts fiddling with \the [src].")
		SETUP_GENERIC_ACTIONBAR(M, src, 5 SECONDS, /obj/item/foo/proc/cool_proc, list(M, src), src.icon, src.icon_state,\
		"[M] finishes fiddling with \the [src]", null)

	proc/cool_proc(var/mob/arg_1, var/obj/item/arg_2)
		boutput(world, "[arg_1.name] farted, [arg_2.name]!")

SETUP_GENERIC_PRIVATE_ACTIONBAR

The same thing but only the owner can see it
