Traitor Item - Camera Jammer #300

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have added an item which can be spawned from the traitor radio.  It uses
a slightly modified Locator icon.  When activated it removes you from the
AI's tracking list and cancels it if he is already tracking you.  It can be
placed in the belt and pretty much run constantly (though that may draw
suspicion from wary AIs).  The patch file is included (if I did it right).

Use this .patch instead, I forgot to include items.dm on the first one.

Great first patch, thanks for contributing. I made a couple modifications as
explained below; please note binary files (items.dmi) don't transfer in patch 
files
(you need to upload them seperately).

atoms.dm: var/on moved to end of type declaration
- new variables should generally be declared at the end of a type
- obviously many declarations don't obey this 'rule' at present

items.dm: inserted newlines in super-long string
- makes reading and understanding the function much easier

equipment.dm: reduced tab on return 0
- the desired behavior is to see if ANY jammer is active, not (as the code did) 
just
the first encountered

var.dm: removed extra variable
- not used

newitems.dm: removed /process()
- empty function removed

verbs.dm: replaced "Tracking error." with "Tracking Error"
- remove punctuation to potentially chain with other text (not a sentence)

newitems.dm: replaced "Tracking error!" with "Tracking Error"
- consistency with previous text

newitems.dm: removed return statement
- open ended design pre-supposes possibility of more than one AI
- desired behavior is to stop ALL AIs who might be tracking

I thought I did a couple of those fixes in my second upload, oh well.  Thanks 
for the
help, Kelson.

This patch doesn't entirely "make sense" given rev 572, but the functionality is
valuable even without traitors in the (current) game. Please comment on your 
notable
changes in a concise manner as well, so others can tell what areas were 
modified in
what area.

Relevant Changes: (Patch by Navee)
- added /obj/item/weapon/jammer
- CameraInvisible added to camera functions
- improved formatting for syndicate radio (code-side)
- standardized error message for those jamming cameras ("Tracking Error")

Committed in rev 575
