health scanner obsucation

About The Pull Request

Medical scanners (the hand held ones) now have a bit of OBSUCATION YAY!
Having the perk for OBSUCATION or ADVANCED MEDICAL removes this obscuration

Requested PR

Tested with and with OBSUCATION perk

[Lamasmaster]

This does leave regular scanners untouched right ?
Those already got way higher investement in bio and obviously require entire machine / not portable

[cdb-is-not-good]

So fucking zased

[ChefDoggo]

i don't get why handheld scanners obsucation is perk locked with zero bio bypass if 90% of medical items (including the much larger supposed "advanced" scanners that require a lot more bio to use) have a stat bypass, how are you gonna convince me that someone that can accurately read a much larger/advanced scanner is incapable of reading a handheld smaller scanner

[cdb-is-not-good]

I'm not a huge fan of there being any bypass to be honest. It kind of defeat the purpose of moving away from hard numbers so people stop saying shit like " 20 brute to the arm" since clearly we can't expect people to role play or something like that, we have to do it by code.

I'm not particularly a fan of this recent shift toward more 'fuzzy' readouts.

[cdb-is-not-good]

If staff would enforce roleplay standards this would be a non issue. We could rely on them to keep players to be kept in check and not straight up spout game terms

[Dimasw99]

Hilariously enough. This change makes it so that examining a person gives you exactly the same amount of information as using a health scanner now. I would suggest making the damage threshold more granular.

An even better solution would be to have a word output and a number output at the same time. To guide people to tell which damage case is what tier, while also not completly removing any instant feedback that otherwise just feels fustrating.

This would be a good way to do it. K5 suggested making it percentage based rather than direct damage numbers and putting that side by side with the actual terminology would be good.

I'd prefer it if a high BIO would also be usable in place of perk requirements.
