Syndicate sleeper (#27501) still needs work #28016

Open VasilisThePikachu opened 1 month ago

Description

[x] It should not pick people outside their preferences (priotity 1) (#28197) Probably from antag refactor
[ ] It should not activate if the alert level is blue or above. Or at least not do a sound. In my opinion, I intentionally made #23896 NOT activate if its blue already. The announcement sound is not meant to play without the "BEEWOOP" of the blue alert sound. And intentionally has a 1s break at the start. It also says "security level elevated" which is not true
[x] It should run at max 1 or 2 times (#28160) It can run several times in a round and add way too many antags. Pretty sure traitors have a max.
[ ] It should have another roll in it AFTER it activates (#28321) We want it to sometimes be fake, this can alleviate a bit of metagameness, as you can't always be sure "Oh two new traitors added!!"
[x] ~~(Unconfirmed) Sleeper agents add the traitor gamerule. Thus making latejoins traitors/assigning em after 5 mins.~~ ~~This is potencially not desired behavior.~~

And number #1 is just an issue with antagonists in general, not sleepers

Made more noticeable by sleepers though.

I had sleepers activate during a traitors round on train. And we started openly talking about TC and hey what do you need to steal in a hallway because there were more traitors than crew. Prolly more of an issue with events though, but yeah it was comical.

That would be cool then, it would actually make the heads have a reason for going back to green after a threat so they can be informed of sleepers

Issue 5 cannot be replicated, but it does prevent sleepers from showing on the round summary, so the traitor rule should only be added if there isn't an existing one

would fixing issue 2 count towards the feature freeze
