KingOfThePing Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) so alright, kiddos, listen up: hold someone in an aggressive grab, use them as a human shield, hostage situation, you name it. You have them in front of you, you /me pointing a gun at their head. Some unga bunga shark bait officer doesn't care or read it or maybe doesn't see it and unga bunga rushes you nontheles. But why not a feature to actually do it, red text, do more damage, maybe (not sure how much point blank adds as is) when they have no helmet or so. Just aggressive grab, firearm in hand, aim mode, harm intent (or idk any other, I dont know what combination with what grab is already taken from the top of my head) aim at head or mouth maybe (like when you suicide). Would be cool, don't ya think. Edited July 1, 2019 by KingOfThePing
Butterrobber202 Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 yes this would be very cool, I've thought its weird I can slit peoples throats but not put a gun to their head.

I'm proud to announce these features (not so obviously) exist. https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/blob/b7d9339c830dfeb718ae54df071a6c21a63f38b5/code/modules/projectiles/gun.dm#L390 When you point blank someone, with a neck grab, it does a whopping 2.5x base damage, allowing you to deal 150 base damage with a .357. A headshot of that value, assuming it wouldn't kill them outright, would immediately give them shrapnel, 150 brute, hard crit, a broken skull, and a large caliber bleeding head wound.
KingOfThePing Posted July 3, 2019 Author Posted July 3, 2019 Right, know now that point blank shots are a thing but read the suggestion again. I suggest to make a move possible that announces the fact that i hold a gun to someone's head. So it doesn't drown under a situation by a /me.
KingOfThePing Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 default dancing to bump this since another thread about ghetto surgery reminded me of it
DronzTheWolf Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I agree that you should be able to red text a gun to someone's head to stop an unga rush.
Hendricks Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Great idea and all but the amount of times I’ve been shot because of aiming is ridiculous. This could be abused too because people a lot of times forget to check the choices for firing. Insta headshots sound rough.
KingOfThePing Posted September 1, 2019 Author Posted September 1, 2019 Doesnt nessecarily have to be tied to the aim function (hopefully)
Mogelix Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 report unga sec officers and get them in positions where truly only a brainlet would try to rush you so you can then ban said brainlets. if you RP putting a gun to someones head, any rescue attempts should be reasonable/well thought out, also, yeah, use pre-existing mechanics. this is a ooc enforcement issue, not a stupid games stupid prizes issue. also, just to note, hostage RP is the ultimate shitter filter
