Rework Instant-Kill Hotwired Doors

[Mouse]

Make it so that shocked door when you touch them send you flying back like when you touch someone when a arcfiend uses that polarization move. The distance you get sent flying back from and how much dmg you take on impact with a wall should scale with power. I just find it a funny idea watching someone fly down the hallway while screaming "DOOR SHOOCKEED!!!". I also agree that if doors are electrified to the extent that they can just one-shot you they should emit sparks or something.

Pretty sure they do that currently if you don't roll the instagib

knocks your shoes off too

You should get stuck to the door and electrocuted so someone has to pull you off

Didn't that use to happen where the wires or grilles would just keep shocking you over and over if you didn't move away?

I think if the doors would just be very obviously and visibly sparking it'd be fine already. Most of the suggestions are cool too. Imho the concept of a door that nearly kill you without you having a clue is the antithesis of escalation, if the door was more visibly dangerous then you could at least add a way for people to grab someone and press them against the door for the same effect.

to be honest, the move away from instakills is something i really do not like to see. Just make it a bit obvious, but still instantly lethal.

My opinion specifically on the instakill business is that being rocketed across the room with BURN measured in exponents is significantly funnier than just vaporizing.

yeah I'm fine with the instant kill from door shock just not with the gib. its a lame way to get permanently thrown out of the round just cuz you touched a door that an AI clicked on

You should get stuck to the door and electrocuted so someone has to pull you off

That would be funny, up to a certain wattage

But if a traitor engi goes through the effort to hellburn the engine, they deserve the satisfaction of the insta-kill shock. Maybe go the Home Alone route and ahve it leave behind a cloneable skeleton.

Edit:

Holy shit I forgot how funny that scene was. New idea: Make them get stuck, progressively take damage (Faster depending on the wattage) and their hair stands up on end (change the style), eventually turning into a skeleton and dying. Funny as hell

yea gibbing from full health is a 2016-era punishment. people died more back then, and most people scanned in. instadeath is an improvement - perhaps doors get a unique electrocuted sprite too. i can't imagine the LEDs on board can handle that throughput that well
