/tg/Station 13

So fellow mins and/or users of the TG code. What buttons would you like to see added to the game.



After last nights failings of not understanding the nuke (*embarrassed face goes here*) I'd love to see a Delta button. So you can set an delta alert and timer on the nuke rather than having to do it manually via spawning a disc etc.

I'd also like to see a button to make shipwide announcements similar to if the AI uses the comms console, but be able to use it from observer. This is purely for a flavour thing so you can have announcements that dont have to come from Cent Comm for events and such.

1. A button for talking directly into people's headsets like a centcomm reply message except not from centcomm.

2. The option to duplicate custom var edited items so I don't have to do the same steps over and over.

3. A functioning BSA button

Button that makes someone fart uncontrollably with the choking cloud and everything. Best used when situations look like they're about to turn into ERP.

A button that turns everyone into a random antag.

Duplicate button

Boom Boom Shake the Room

What did that button ever do?

Rave button.

Its already possible to spawn a party button in. So that kinda be redundant.

I would like to see buttons either removed or heavily restricted from admin use.

I bet you're the life of the party

If you restrict a button from admins, then who is it for?

You also have to realise these buttons only make it easier to do functions we can already preform (generally) using proc calls or other verbs.
Curbing "button pressing" is the subject of another thread already so please use that (see here) , this is not that discussion.

Certain "event" buttons should just be removed because of how stupid they are.

bring back "space asshole" button 2k15

duplicate button is something i have planned, but it would be very buggy in any case.

Bring back BOOM BOOM SHAKE THE ROOM

How big was that .ogg anyway? Whatever, I'd gladly redownload it all the time.


Also, there should be a button that randomly selects one player and lets him press a badmin button. What could go wrong.

A 'reset to default' button in the debug tab? Would that be possible without entirely restarting the game world?

What if they hit that button too

it gets passed on to the next player

A button that spawns two demigod luchador boxers with obscene amounts of health and extraordinary abilities like throws strong enough to send anyone our anything not bolted down flying through a couple of walls, ground slams that tear apart the station like bombs, punches that shoot mother fucking pulse lasers, and the ability to breathe fire. They have one objective and one objective only. Kill their rival demigod so they can ascend to become the omnipotent ruler of the station. God help the poor bastards foolish enough to stand between them and their mission.

I would like to see a button that replaces the target's blood with PURE PLASMA

They'd die instantly, having below 40% blood is instantly fatal

A button that removes the player requirements for gamemodes but still enforces the minimum amount of antags required so gamemodes don't break codewise like using the debug mode workaround tends to do.

A button that allows us to spawn a fortune cookie with our custom message in it.

The kira button, spawns a journal at a random persons feet, If you write someones name in it, they die of a heart attack

Double points if you can haunt them as a "the faithless" mob that only they and others who touch the notebook can see.

We should also be able to rip pages out, letting them keep that ability and letting you use it as a normal piece of paper. "Uh, yeah, RD? We have some minerals for you, we just need you to sign right here and we'll get them to you as soon as we can"

A button that will spawn the alert messages and sounds from some other "random" event like a meteor wave or ion storm or blob outbreak, then five minutes or so later be all like "Whoops, false alarm" once the crew have raised their laundry bills.

That's already both a real event and a button, though it doesn't say it was a false alarm.

A button that spawns a Galactic Custodial Union cleanup squad, complete with mixed biohazard and Swat gear, and armed with all manner of cleaning supplies, acid grenades, and demoleculizers for maximum sanitation potential.

These guys would get called in on extended rounds where the station is a complete and utter shithole due to absence of janitorial maintenance.



I got the idea from a recent round in which I was allowed to exchange Wizard for Xenos, and it was either Stickymayhem or Bluespace who created a larger than normal, ad hoc team of 'Deathsquad Lite', in blue uniform jumpsuits, biohazard helmets, jackboots and basic laser weaponry, and they wound up being a lot more balanced, fun, and 'corporate' lore friendly than the overbearing full blown deathsquad or an ERT packing pulse guns and hardsuits.

Just add a janitor ERT. It's been a dank may may on Bay ever since the ERT was implemented, but they had the right idea.

Yes, a full on janitorial ERT with tools to burn through newly constructed obstructions (old xeno nest walls, for example) could be great fun.

Quoting this because this is both minor and a great idea.

Also, Janitor Emergency Response Party is the only Emergency Response Party I will ever be okay with.

A button that turns everyone with an Assistant ID into a drone. Let's make them useful!

On that note, a button that turns all Command staff into lizards.

The sheer amount of butthurt would be amazing.

But Assistants always want all-access and free toolboxes... we're just giving them what they want, right?

:^)

Trialmins don't have access to normal ert buttons so that was a ghetto attempt at making one. If copy paste was a thing, you could expect to see more things like this, since manually spawning in and dressing up a team takes a fair amount of time.
