TOPIC

NAME
        sensitivities - Damage sensitivity in livings.


LOCATION
	/obj/sensitivities.c

DESCRIPTION
	The sensitivity system as implemented by /obj/sensitivity is a
	replacement for the sensitivity properties. The object is
	inherited by living_functions, and thus the functionality is
	available in both players and monsters.

	The sensitivities are stored on a per-object basis. An object
	can contribute more than one sensitivity type. Any number of
	objects can contribute to a sensitivity type. The system
	enforces limits, defined in /obj/sensitivity, on how low and
	high a sensitivity for a certain damage type can get.

	Values are centered around zero. At zero sensitivity, damage
	is not affected at all.  A negative sensitivity will reduce
	the damage taken, and a positive will increase it.

	From the individual sensitivities, a total for each damage
	type is computed. This is then used to influence the damage a
	player/monster takes.


NOTE
	The sensitivities are simply summed. Thus, the order they were
	added does not matter.


NOTE
	You should no longer be using sensitivity properties. This
	system over-rides the properties; if both has been set on the
	monster/player, the properties are simply ignored.


EXAMPLE
	// Decrease the sensitivity to fire by 5%.
	this_player() -> add_sensitivity("fire");


EXAMPLE
	// Increase the sensitivity to fire by 5%.
	this_player() -> add_sensitivity("fire", 5);
