[Feature] New traits! (9 traits! More phobias!)
#1
Rainbow 
This PR adds several new traits, namely:
(note: all [thing] things cannot be used with each other - you can only have one out of all of these!)
  • Meathead (-1) [Stats] Can take quite a beating! Suffers from brain trauma, though. [150 max health but 60 incurable brainloss]
  • Athletic (-2) [Stats] Great stamina! Frail body. [1.1x max stamina (220 total), 1.2x stamina regen (12 regen), 80 max HP]
  • Big Bruiser (-2) [Stats] Stronger punches but higher stamina cost! [Doubles both stamina cost and damage]
  • Glass Cannon (-2) [Stats] You have 1 stamina max. Attacks no longer cost you stamina and you deal double the normal damage with most melee weapons. [Probably too game changing to include, will remove if asked.]
  • Jailbird (0) You have a criminal record and are currently on the run! [Gives you a randomised criminal record with major and minor crime, some note and *ARREST* security status. Fear the Beepsky. Doesn't give or take points due to how trivial it really is.]
  • Matrix Flopout (-2) [Skill] Flipping lets you dodge bullets and attacks for a higher stamina cost! [get half a second worth of dodge-window every *flip, successful dodges substract stamina. Obvious to others you have it when it says "tactical flip". Should it cost 3?]
  • Spaceaphobia (+2) [Phobia] Being in space scares you. A lot. While in space you migth panic or faint. [Mentioning "space", "star", "celestial", "asteroid" will force an emote so others can figure your phobia out. Seeing space turf will make you uneasy. Being too close to space turf will make you freak out. All phobias function like this.]
  • Pithecophobia (+2) [Phobia] Monkeys are horrifying. You hate the idea of monkeys being our ancestors! Seeing a monkey terrifies you. Being near one might make you panic or faint. Avoid groups of monkeys! [Being near too many phobia-inducing things makes you freak out even harder. Mentioning "monkey", "chimp", "ape", "gorilla", "baboon", "simian" will force an emote. All phobias function like this.]
  • Robophobia (+2) [Phobia] Robots are going to take over the world! Fear your metal overlords! Aaaagh! Seeing a silicon being terrifies you. Being near one makes you panic or faint. Avoid groups of robots! ["bot", "tron", "drone", "borg" force an emote.]
Here's the PR

Planned traits:
  • Prosopagnosia (+2) Also known as face blindness, makes everyone's faces indistinguishable to you. Need to figure out how to make humans show up as "Unkown" even when you hover your mouse at them.
  • Actually fix Observant trait and make it work with lings properly??? It'd be a hella useful trait to have, especially for antags.
  • Compulsive Drinker (+1) You can't help but pick up and sip drinks!

More traits to come. Thoughts?

I like Fallout body type style ones with clear pros and cons. Nice

I'm thinking of implementing prosopagnosia, but the trouble with that is essentialy replacing human's .name var just for one specific person. Is that even possible?

We have something similar with ghostdrones. It obscures how they look, their name, and everything about them. It's kinda hacky though, but it could be done.

Code is sadly unavaliable in the 2016 repo, though.

If you think the ghostdrone effect would be what you want, if you want that just include a note in the trait like "TODO: ADD GHOSTDRONE VISUAL EFFECT HERE."

Alright! I'll make Prosopagnosia only affect examine text for now, maybe come up with a separate hacky solution.

I think Athletic might need a drawback since just flat out improved stamina pool and regen sounds a bit op.

The others sound ok since they've got clear drawbacks.

That's a fair point. Perhaps some sort of damage nerf?

#12
athletes do drugs and stuff right? maybe something with overdoses being more likely, or starting with an addiction or two, or just an improved chance of random cardiac failure

Updated! Added Matrix Flopout and tweaked Athletic trait to change your maxHP to 80.
Reply
#14
If you’re Athletic, taking drugs that boost your stamina regen should give you a chance of cardiac failure? That would be like being a roid fiend.

Or hell, a separate Roid Rage trait that boosts your punch damage/causes cardiac failure.

You probably want to check if stance != dodge before triggering the matrix flip message stuff.

Also, could pose an issue with chems like stimulants.
