[ ALPHA ] Critical Self Destructs for Predators

[Dragon2323]

CM Version (alpha or Regular):

ALPHA

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Either issue a rule violation, or put an integer in the code dictating when you can self-destruct as a predator, because predators whom aren't even captured choose to go Cuban Pete and ruin a Marine or Xenomorph's round. They should only be able to do so in a critical state.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Stall the rate of butthurt Marine and Xenomorph players from Predators abusing the self-destruct in which it violates Predator code, lore, and can be found in the constraints of grief as well. It would also stop Predators from self-destructing to kill other Predators as grief if coded in.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Rule-wise, a possible easy four-hour ban, escalating to eight and then a twenty four hour ban discussable by repeat usage.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Code-wise, I have very minimal ideas, I've focused on rule violation due to that being somewhere near my "forte" so to speak.

Code-wise you could just make it that they can only self-destruct when in critical condition or at the maximum red state. Even so I thought that was supposed to have a timer, so Preds just wouldn't kamikaze.

Kamikaze was the old term.
New term is allahu akbar / Sacrifice for the great god allah.

You may be offending Japanese, but no one cares if you offend the Jihad.

Um. Predators can only self-destruct if they are in critical. That's already in.

If you try before then it says "Go hunt for honor, you coward"

@Apop;
Had a non-critted Predator do it. Either this is a bug report or aspects aren't fully checked.

[apophis775]

If he was using his healing meds, he could have been critical when he engaged it, and it healed him past it.

It can ONLY be done, if the predator is unconcious. When did this happen, because only staff are predators right now, so I'll get better information from them.

Caryl was allowing people as preds for multiple rounds fyi.

[apophis775]

WHAT?

I will deal with this.

[Abbysynth]

If Preds are able to self-destruct while being conscious and not while unconscious/crit, it's definitely a bug.

[apophis775]

Yea, i'm guessing what may have happened, is he was crit when he activated it, then he woke up.

Maybe, once activated, it locked them in at -90 health until it detonates?

[apophis775]

Already done.
