last_loop_length	The length of the previous assigned moveloop in deciseconds
pickable_dirs	List of dirs avalible to pick, used to avoid accidential duplicates
step_delay	How frequently (in deciseconds) should we move our particles?
total_effects	Total amount of effects we currently have active
Procs
generate_effect	Generates a effect for our system to control, returns the generated effect
