Colfer Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Visitor ghost spawns have nothing that makes them unique to actual visitors in my opinion, to offset this I thought of an idea recently, so hear me out right? Visitor ghost spawns get a menu that they can use to spawn ANYTHING cargo can order (except for things that may disrupt the round like lethal weapons, electronics boards (I don't play cargo man)) These crates will despawn after 30 seconds and take their contents with them. Visitors are informed of these new abilities and are obviously told that this is for whatever gimmick they are going for, and not to be abused Visitor ghost spawns also spawn with a chameleon kit and perhaps a paperwork faking kit. I think this would make random ghost spawn visitors much more enjoyable to play without requiring admin assistance to be the special snowflake you always want to be. From spawning a multitude of collectable hats and selling them off as a traveling merchant, to perhaps being an expert surface gardener with equipment already given to them.

This would allow them more variety in what they can do, because they could spawn a hydroponics crate and a kitchen supplies crate and act as a representative of some obscure service company who wants to sell foods they make on station. I don't know all the crates that cargo can spawn because I have never played cargo technician but I know that there are plenty for visitor merchant gimmicks, or for coming on station as a painter with painting supplies and such. 2 hours ago, wowzewow said: Isn't this like, just custom items? 🤔I suppose so. I just thought of this idea so it could be more reliable to ghost spawned visitor on round start, and with a bunch of helpful items that can let them do a wider array of gimmicks without having to ask for admin assistance. To help distinguish them more as a unique visitor rather than just joining as a regular visitor which is (right now) much better than the ghost spawn one. As the ghost spawn one doesnt have body markings, prosthetics, certain ages (as IPC) and other things to choose from while the regular one does, making ghost visitor kinda pointless besides not having an announcement that you are entering the station (I think?) and not having records, (something normal visitors probably already dont have) Edited February 4, 2022 by Colfer Hydroponics crate, not tray
Marlon P. Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 It sounds like you want visitors to be off-screen vendors? If so, could be neat.
Arrow768 Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 The primary goal of the ghost spawned visitor is to prevent security from valid-hunting everyone who is not on the crew manifest by providing a “harmless” canon role that is just missing their paperwork. That enabled other antags to use the “paperwork issue” excuse.
