PULL REQUEST DETAILS
[STATION SYSTEMS] [FEATURE]
About the PR
Adds a new `ion_category` which queries all player ID cards and randomly choose 5 of them to scramble their access. The modifier is currently removing a 5th of all accesses available, with a minimum of one. Afterwards, it will add 1 or 2 random accesses back to the card, excluding any removed ones.
The excluded accesses are `access_fuck_all` (to avoid breaking stuff), `access_maxsec` (for armory) and `access_change_ids` (to allow an easy reversion), as well as maintaining all hidden accesses such as syndicate which would be otherwise unobtainable.
Finally, it will use the `radioGarbleText()` method to scramble the name on the ID card.
Why's this needed?
This change is part of a long series of changes that I'm planning to make HoP gameplay more varied and interesting. A small subset of players on the station will suddenly find themselves unable to access a location, or dislike their new garbled name, and seek out the HoP to have them fix it. Additionally, it simply adds an additional layer of variety to the game, and fits well into the thematic of an ion storm messing with all electronic devices.
