Gravity hammer balance and ODST call in fix #3541
Conversation
Makes the powered hammer less broken by preventing killing enemies by clicking as fast as possible. Prevents instant door breaking and pushing back of hunters with it.
Sets the max armour properly so chieftains don't seem to have 200% armour displayed when examined.
Gives chieftain job its hammer back (Since it hopefully should not be busted now)
Normal ODSTs were able to call down medical and other supplies they shouldn't. They are only intended to have personalised drops. Officers retain their current support options.
Adds a check I forgot to put in. To stop direct hits moving the hunter.

This could probably just be narrowed down to only shift /mob/living and /obj/item/

Use a define instead of a magic number like this.

The define can be used here too.
Attempts to make the code less messy
No wonder it was failing
|
Changes made, should be better now (I hope). I kept hunters immune with the narrowing down of targets but wonder if complete immunity is too much. Maybe I should allow them to be moved by the ground attack which has a cooldown but not direct attacks? |
|
I think keeping hunters immune is fine as-is, although you may want to check through the code and see if there's some internal size tracking for simplemobs that you can check against rather than specifically targeting hunters, as flood juggernauts should also probably be immune. |
For use with checks in the hammer (couldn't find any existing ways to check if the mob is large)
Should prevent both Juggernauts and Hunters from being thrown by the hammer (And any other mob with a large size)
|
Large size mobs are now immune to gravity hammer knockback. Not sure what other mobs count as large but I imagine for halo mobs it is just juggernaut and hunter. |
Attempts to make the powered gravity hammer useable but not too strong. Also fixes ODSTs having more than just personalised call ins.
Hopefully could lead to Chieftain being enabled in the future whether as an alternative to shipmaster or as an extra.

tweak: Powered gravity hammer no longer spammable, hunters immune to its knockback.
tweak: Non officer ODSTs get personalised call downs only
