Feature description
"if it was a smoke grenade then it would make sense" - bibbybabby, 2023, posted on a "Grenades should make smoke" issue.
Grenades. Granadas. Granaty. Granaten. They are known by many names, but they all have one simple purpose. To effectively make the person you want not alive anymore not alive anymore. But there's a special type of grenade. One that the purpose is usually not to kill. Tis to help killing. This grenade, the smoke grenade, isn't in People Playground, and that's a tragedy. From this standpoint, that makes sense. We can see everything, the characters don't move on their own, and can't see. But... smoke grenades don't have to just obscure vision, they can do so much more. But, hey, let's start basic, and with the obscured vision.
The M18 Colored Smoke Grenade
Okay, starting basic.
The M18 Colored Smoke Grenade is a real life thing used by the military, looks cool as hell, and looks like what you would expect from a smoke grenade, and does what you expect from a smoke grenade. It.. smokes.
Once used, the pin and spoon is pulled and starts spewing a little bit of gas. It then waits 1.5 seconds and then it spews a lot of gas in a short time. I recommend watching a video on M18 Smoke Grenades so you can get what they truly look like. When using the right click menu, it will show a "Color" button. This both changes the color of the band on the M18, but also the color of the smoke. It is emptied after 10 seconds of continuous smoke.
The Gaseous Grenade name in progress
Like the M18 Colored Smoke Grenade, but instead of being colorable it can be filled with a syringe liquid, and creates a gas that imitates that syringes effects. It is shaped more like a grenade than a canister. It has to be refilled after 5 seconds of continuous gas. If shot it detonates all the gas inside of it at once and explodes.
Feature purpose
Well, it would add some very interesting mechanics to the game, and let you have more contraptions like being able to infect people with a "zombie gas" or something, or with RP makes smog or fog, or just smoke in a police environment and such.
