Makes defib shocks dangerous

Open Contrabang opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

What Does This PR Do

Anyone pulling/grabbing anybody that is getting successfully revived with a defib will be shocked and may stop their heart. Notably, Drasks do not have their hearts in their chest and cannot be killed via excess shock stopping their heart. This only applies to the big blue defibs and only occurs when a body is being brought back from the dead.

Why It's Good For The Game

It makes the game more immersive, and more likely to introduce roleplay with doctors shouting "Clear!" and such.

Testing

Ran on local test server, grabbed and pulled a bunch of skrells while they were being revived, I eventually got shocked and suffered a heart attack. Tried to get

Changelog

:cl: add: Grabbing or pulling a dead body while its being defibrillated back to life with a large blue defib will shock you if you are not the one defibrillating them. add: Being shocked from excess energy from a defibrillator will stop your heart if its in your chest tweak: Cyborg's defibrillators now have special anti-shock technology that will prevent any excess shocking /:cl:

I'm open to making this not affect the person defibbing them if that is preferred, but it think that your third hand that is pulling the corpse should also be considered when shocking them

Also open to changing the Borg defib to do the same but i thought it would be interesting to give them more uniqueness considering they can't fix cardiac arrest with them

I like this, seems like a nice touch. Given that it'd be easily cured by another doc standing over them (possibly with the same defib), I think it'd add a nice bit of spice to medbay.

I'd say that it should not impact the person holding the paddles, though; that seems like a bit of a noob trap and will probably just make high-pressure situations incredibly annoying.

Changed, person using the defib won't shock them now if they're pulling them

For anyone curious, this does not kill IPCs because they do not have hearts but it does give 24 brain damage and some burn damage.
