Should dionae be able to use creatine and nanobots?

[Kammerjunk]

In the reactions for creatine, mednanobots, and comnanobots, it's currently trying to prevent dionae from using those reagents by checking for if(H.species.name != "Dionae") However, this doesn't work, meaning dionae are able to use both creatine and nanobots. As far as I can tell from less-than-thorough testing, what you actually want is if(H.species.name != "Diona") or perhaps if(!istype(H, /mob/living/carbon/human/diona)) Should this change be added, though? I don't care either way, but it doesn't seem to have caused any problems except dionae not having a cyber horror sprite. Thought people might want to share their opinions in a structured place and not just shitpost in the thread

EDIT: Someone please add a discussion tag or something? I dunno if I can or, if so, how

Diona are trees they don't need nanobots

[TheEliminator16]

I intended to make nanobots non-usable by Dionae, but I made the same mistake as creatine because I reused the code.

I don't think they should be able to use them or creatine, they're way too strong as it is.

[Kammerjunk]

Ah, fantastic. Dionae being called like 3 or 4 different things (diona, dionae, dionaea at the very least) in different places is a bit of a bother, so that's understandable. I'm inclined to agree that a diona with mednanobots would probably be too resistant to burn damage, their only real weakness damage-wise. I haven't really used Hulk enough to know how it'd affect dionae, but you're probably right there too.

[TheEliminator16]

Especially because mednanobots heal burn and brute damage most efficiently when compared to oxy or even worse, toxin.

Pretty sure that dionaea is just flat out incorrect.

If we're going by Diona being Latin the plural is dionae.

[Kammerjunk]

I think it's going by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionaea but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionae seems to be the same thing

Brawndo for Dionae WHEN

Should be a way to make a species not able to process a certain chemical at all, maybe a chemical_exempt list that would just treat it as toxin or something.

Would let you make a bit more variety between species as well

Actually I think livers should be able to support something along those lines

[TheEliminator16]

That's a good idea. Maybe we should also make it so that if a human body doesn't have a liver, it sets the custom_metabolism of all reagents in that body to 0

[PJB3005]

@TheEliminator16 that's not how reagents work, though. Things like acid wouldn't hurt without liver then.

[TheEliminator16]

Oh, that's a good point, I didn't think of that.

[gbasood]

Custom metabolism = 0 would make it so a thing never metabolises, so it never gets used up, which for some reagents means it doesn't do a damn thing. For others it means it keeps reacting forever
