Patting Down

Post by Mobius_None » 28 Jun 2017, 14:21

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
The ability to pat down a fellow Marine that is on fire.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It would aid in immersion and teamwork as Marines caught on fire without the ability to roll/ no fire extinguisher in sight can now be saved by their fellow comrades.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
It would work using help intent on a Marine that is on fire similar to how a crit Marine can recieve CPR, or be shaken.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Possibly a trigger similar to the one for CPR that once a character is on fire it allows the help intent to be used to pat them down maybe text saying "You urgently pat down [insert name]'. Should be easy to implement.

+1 only if you take burn damage to hands for doing this.
Troublesome, as usual.

+1 With or without burn damage to the hands. Double if we can belly flop on our fellow marines to instantly put a fire out but at the cost of burn damage to yourself and brute damage to the burning guy. (last parts a joke, no belly flops please)

+1, fire extinguishers are hard to find and LOOC's color is too faint when you're too busy trying to stop yourself from burning alive.

+1 I don't like staring helplessly at someone while they burn to death and don't know about rolling to put it out.

I'd take hand burn damage for that.
