* Fixes a formatting error in the manual
* Fixed Item layering used by experimentor
* Added "crtical" results for certain R&D items
* Changed the detection for Ian/Runtime
* Adds "Global" fails that can occur on any EXPERI-MENTOR process.
* Replaces telesci with the Experimental Lab
* Fixes numerous Experimentor bugs (item layers, part exchanger etc)
* Adds an in-game manual to the Experimental lab to teach players to use the machine.
*Built with 1 scanning module, 2 manipulators and 2 micro lasers.
*Manipulators affect the reset speed, lasers affect it's chance to have bad things happen.
*Heavily RNG based to be the "fun" alternative.
*Includes features such as causing spacial distortions, transforming things into other things, and setting your face on fire.
*Can be built, but currently not included on the map.
The process of the EXPERI-MENTOR works as such:
1. Build it/walk up to it and click the "Scan for R&D Console" button if it is there.
2. Insert anything, literally anything.
3. The user uses a process of elimination to guess what the correct use for the item is ("Poke", "Irradiate", "Gas", "Heat", "Cold" or "Obliterate")
4. A correct guess results in addition of research points and (potentially) a randomised thing happening (reduced with upgrades). A failed results in a fluff message.
Current "use" RND events are:
Poke
*Destroy item, hit mobs in oview(1) for 15 brute
*Destroy item, proceeding to Obliterate
*Eject the item, throwing it at a random target in oview(7)
Irradiate
*Destroy item, apply 25 IRRADIATE to oview(1)
*In oview(1), spawn goo in oview(1)
*Transform item into something from valid_items list and eject it (primes grenades first)
Gas
*Destroy item, spawn toxic gas cloud
*Spawn harmless gas cloud
*Destroy item, Empulse(8,10)
Heat
*Destroy item, explosion(-1,0,0,0,0,flame_range = 2) (sets a small fire)
*Destroy item, heat up turf
*Eject item, spawn smoke, hit mobs for 5 burn in oview(1)
Cold
*Destroy item, release frostoil smoke
*Destroy item, cool down turf
*Eject item, spawn smoke
Obliterate
(by default, this will transfer m_amount and g_amount to a linked lathe)
(I'm aware that both of these are kind of "one item at a time", but I like the effect and left it that way)
*Destroy item, pull all mobs and items in oview(7) towards src
*Destroy item, throw all mob and items in oview(7) at other mobs and items
These are pocket devices that dispense unwrenched atmos/disposal pipes.
Despite the admittedly misleading name, these have infinite ammo.
There is no need to reload with matter cartridges or anything like that.
Currently, they spawn in atmos tech lockers, and as an engiborg module.
More can be obtained with the autolathe.
They are also a traitor "steal item" objective.
* designs are now using the construction time var and the hacky /obj/item/mechavars is gone
* designs updated : there shouldn't be "no material" designs anymore
* cleaned the objects of their construction_cost and construction_time vars
* fixes the material name being displayed with $ character before
* this also fixes the overlay animation in inserting sheets
* the category var is now a list, so parts can be build/used with several chassis (fixes the Firefighter Chassis appearing when building Ripley)
* properly fix the href vulnerability when emptying (you can now remove all sheets of a materiel at once)
* the exofab now won't create a material sheet if there's not enough material (e.g 1000 metal)
* the exofab now won't accept a sheet if it would overstuff it (losing some material in the process)
* cleaned the code a bit (simplified, streamlined, using global vars, etc)
Finish #5722 and fixes#5954.
Exosuits will now use the designs from RnD to create objects instead of having the object already created on their contents.
Each one of the default items to build are now designs.
Removed access required to use the exosuit fabricators.
Removed an unused mech syringe gun design and replaced with a new one, with no cost.
Added a temporal object, /obj/item/mechavars, to be able to use initalize() for the construction time. This will be later on removed and the construction time will be ported to the design datums.
Some minors issues are still present, due to the amount of files needed to fix these, it won't be part of this commit, but a future one.
Fixes issue #3893
Removed required access to access the setting controls of the RnD console.
