Finer security firing pin controls

[Kaed]

I would like the standard firing pins in security Armory weapons to be revised. As far as I am aware, they currently operate on a binary functionality. Either the pins are in the guns work, or they are out and they don't.

I would like it to be expanded to the following three settings:

Secure: no Armory weapons may be fired. This is the standard setting for green.

Non-lethal: the Armory weapons that are capable of performing non-lethal attacks are enabled. If they can normally toggle to a lethal setting, that setting is locked. The ion rifle is an exception, and is enabled on this setting. This activates automatically on Code Blue

Lethals enabled: all guns in the Armory be used on any setting. This setting is enabled by default on Code Red.

However I would like certain individuals such as the head of security and the captain to be able to change the settings regardless of code level. I would also like the firing pins that are currently inside guns to announce that their settings have been changed if it happens ("Lethal override enabled."), so that security members can be aware that they can now use or cannot use their guns in a certain way.

I believe [mention]Pacmandevil[/mention] is doing a pin update. He'll probably see this as he reads the forum regularly.

I can support having a separate - probably very expensive box, or even just a few pins that do this. However just flatly applying this to all the guns in the Armory would likely be a shitty idea, as it A: fucks over any non sec who raids the vault, and B: feels pretty restrictive in general. I might make the pin a thing, but putting it in everything seems to be overkill.

As long as it's in the game and capable of being acquired, I'd be happy. I would even take the time as head of security to personally buy a set of these from cargo and apply them to the Armory by hand.

I could care less about antags raiding the armory, they can even have a traitor pin if they like. I just want to be enforce not using lethals as a HoS because the officers never fucking listen to me when I tell them not to kill a suspect.

[Pacmandevil]

They'll be added. but you're a HoS, if they disobey you, fire them

Last time I did that, they whined to the internal affairs, who bitched at me about self-defense regulations. Though that's slightly off topic here.

I just want to head off the entire thing if I could thank you.

Thank you for being willing to add them though!
