MovableMan.Attachables
CreateLeg, CreateArm, CreateTurret
MO.ParentOffset,JointOffset,SpriteOffset (not read-only!)
Absolute control over frames; Lua should be able to override any .ini animation settings.
I'm sure y'all have more.

Wrong. I have done it.

Anyway MO.Attachables seems like a better idea than in MovableMan.

Some sort of actor storage variable thing.

why not have both? be able to access them globally and locally. though i suppose you could just do double iterations if you had MO.Attachables.
also being able to set the spriteanimmode would fix the "control of frames" issue. or can we already do that?
i definitely want createlimb functions <_<

MO:AddFunction(ScriptFunction.Update, foobar)

Or something. I just need a way to add lua code to an actor without some MO tracking for it.

Global hooks.

So I can hook into every thing being created, destroyed, ect.

Specific lists(separate from the luaed objects list).
MovableMan.AEmitters

No crashing if you use the actor editor to reload a non-scripted actor to a scripted version.
And to do MO.Attachable one better, Attachable.Parent.

MovableMan:IsAttachable and/or MovableMan:ValidMO() working on pointers to attachables.
