BIN_fnc_probeVeinHitpoint

Description

Reacts to a hit on a vein of the alien probe: the vein is retracted with BIN_fnc_probeAnim (retract sound, the looping sound fades out and is deleted), and after a delay it is expanded again (expand sound, a new looping sound is created). The delay is 4 seconds by default and can be changed by setting the variable "bin_probe_retractTime" on the probe itself. The function does nothing if the hit part index is -1.

Its parameters match the Dammaged event handler, from which it is meant to be executed; no other Contact function calls it. As it uses sleep, it must run in a scheduled environment.
