( actions transfer through arrow blocks to remote actors )
[ action player | & ] [ greendrone  ]    -> [ action player | & ] [ action greendrone ] again

( mark squares as "wanting to rotate" )
[ action actor | A_1 ] -> [ action actor | action A_1 ]
[ action actor | A_2 ] -> [ action actor | action A_2 ]

[ > A_2 ] [ A_2 ] -> [ > A_2 ] [ > A_2 ]
