InteractionNode

Remarks

⚠ A shared node is claimed for the duration of a channel, and that is the whole reason this type exists. Without a claim, two players who start mining the same rock at the same moment both finish and it yields twice — the interaction library's version of the duplication bug the container algebra exists to prevent. The claim is released on completion, on interruption and on the claimant walking away.

⚠ Per-player instancing means the uses are per player, not the node. One rock, one respawn timer, and everybody gets their own go at it — which is Guild Wars 2's answer to node-stealing and is a policy on the definition rather than a second kind of node.

⚠ Respawn counts from the completion that emptied it, not from the last attempt. A timer restarted by a failed channel is a node that can be kept out of the world by somebody standing next to it starting and cancelling.
