/datum/listener_tick_cache 
Listener tick caches are responsible for storing the "listeners by type" lists calculated by PassToChannel() for a single tick.
This allows all other hearing operations occuring on the same tick from the same origin to quickly retrieve the relevant listeners;
this is why speaking into over ten radios at once doesn't grind the game to a halt.
Vars | |
| cache_tick | The tick for which cached_listeners_by_message_origin is valid. |
|---|---|
| cached_listeners_by_range_message_origin | A list of message origins, and the cached listen_module_by_type lists associated with that origin at a specific range. |
Procs | |
| read_from_cache | Attempt to retrieve a list of listeners by type, if it exists. |
| write_to_cache | Temporarily cache a list of listeners by type. The depth of this list is dependent on the number of conditions that the associated say channel considers. |
