Phoron combustion improvements

Post by Sarah_U. » 02 Sep 2016, 09:59

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allow for phoron-based items and constructions to be ignited by any flames whatsoever.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
This will greatly increase the risk of fire spreading, as well as bring several risks and gameplay mechanics related to phoron.
Currently, you must use a welder to directly ignite it (Or some other objects I'm unfamiliar with, but welder work).
With this, you would have to be much more cautious using incendiary and other objects near a phoron doors and phoron stacks.
It'd allow for more fire-traps and shenanigans.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
If any fire spreads toward a phoron door or object, it'll start to melt it and show a text similar to:
Example - "The door sizzles and sparks, starting to combust and burn." which after 2-3 seconds would cause the phoron to burn as it catch fire.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]


PS: There's more mechanics and informations that can be detailed here, but overall the rules disallow for certain tactics which involve this. The cooldown was added to prevent unfair phoron traps much like a room filled with doors and suddently combusting (AKA: Engineering ladder / science ladder).
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.
