Staunching Wounds

[Desolane900]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make grabbing yourself stop bleeding wounds.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Give people with no medical supplies a way to stop the blood pouring from their body.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): I know it isn't a massive concern but it's an annoying one. If you have no gauze or tricord and you get an open wound that's bleeding, your view goes dark, your character gets much slower, and you feel dizzy. Just make using grab intent on yourself staunch your wounds by applying pressure to them. It would need implemented much like CPR where you would need to staunch a wound several times over a course of time depending on severity to make them stop bleeding but not remove any brute damage.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Code in another use for grab intent.

What's this? A way for Marines to potentially stop themselves from dying after getting cut up? FUCKIN' DENIED MUTHAFUCKA.

Butt srs nao, yes +1

I'd like this if there was an increase in bloodloss. (Not mechanically, but the amount of blood that you see on sprites and falling to the ground)

I want headshots to be a thing.

Sniper gets a headshot and two gibs appear on the floor and the head is deleted

If this was a thing, apop with a sniper rifle would remove more marines per round than devouring ever did.

-1 unless it slows them down and takes a bit of time, and only working on limbs. Can't really 'grab' a headwound with your hand, same with your chest.

[Surrealistik]

+1. Baystation apparently has this now; makes perfect sense to me. I don't think it should take multiple tries, but it should occupy the selected hand you used to do it (which is a pretty significant drawback) until the wound heals enough to no longer need staunching.

I would like to point out that bay has this and since the code was originally bay I doubt it would be hard to implement.

[monkeysfist101]

+1 This sounds great.

Under our lisence, unless we got 100% permission from the original coder, we'd need to code it from the ground up.

...you're literally just putting your hand over the wound and applying pressure,it could probably be done on the chest and head.

[Dirty Old Harry]

I suppose it isn't a guaranteed method of survival if you get hurt, sort of a way to prolong the time you have before you can get help.

[Martzin]

Yes please. +1

Bring in the Italians... We're gonna need a lotta pasta...

[ZDashe]

+1 If it occupies the hand slot like a grab, and it should slow down bleeding temporarily until properly treated.

I treated a marine in the field with a sliced open chest just yesterday (no idea how he got it...), by lighting my cig and cauterizing the cut before stopping the bleeding with a trauma kit as a medic. Pretty fun stuff. It's the small details that counts sometimes =)
