## About The Pull Request I like for things that mobs do to be consistent regardless of whether they are controlled by a player or by the AI. One big offender of this is the melee behaviour cooldown. Basic mobs piloted by AI have arbitrary melee attack cooldowns which are not reflected when they are controlled by players who can generally attack much faster (but in _two_ instances, slower). To remedy this I added `melee_attack_cooldown` as a var on `living/basic` (sinful) and the ai now uses NextMove to not click too often, meaning that players can only bite things as often as the AI can and also that if you VV the cooldown it can speed the AI up (or slow it down) as well as a player. This also gets rid of a lot of subtypes of that datum, as we mostly made them to change the cooldown. I also hunted down a few places where there was behaviour placed inside an AI behaviour which wasn't easily replicable by a player piloting the same mob, preferably a player should be able to do everything that the AI can. Fixing this was largely a simple case of moving code from `ai_behaviour/melee_attack/perform` to `basic/mob_subtype/melee_attack` and also adding an element for one thing shared by three different mobs. Strictly speaking I didn't need the element that much because a player is perfectly capable of clicking on something they attack to drag it, but it's nice for it to be automatic? ## Why It's Good For The Game If you see a mob do something then you should also be able to do it. Mobs shouldn't have significantly different capabilities when controlled by a player (aside from usually being smarter). ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Player-controlled basic mobs attack as fast as those mobs can when controlled by the AI balance: Player-controlled Faithless can paralyse people they attack, like the AI does balance: Player-controlled Star Gazers (if an admin felt like making one) apply the star mark on attack and deal damage to everything around them, like the AI does /🆑
