Sechailer nerf

Should the sechailer be able to set you on fire for overuse without any sort of warning before giving you enough firestacks to take you halfway to crit?

It's funny, but no.

It's not a "nerf". It's a nerf to spam. It is a buff to its actual use, because people will know that you're actually using it as it is meant to be used. Not as a glorified bike horn, which is how people use it now.

The alternative is what we're doing now, which is saying "these masks are fucking annoying" and keeping them very limited use in the armory.

technically an unbiased OP isn't required

Anyways I think it's hilarious and a good deterrent to spamming which is annoying as fuck so yeah

I think the same effect could be had by simply making it break. Or at least have it give a warning after the second use that any further use for the next 15 seconds will cause it to explode.

Why don't you add a longer cooldown or just make it stop working forever after you use it 6 times in a period of one minute?
This seems kind of immature and stupid, especially considering the person who made the PR is an admin. Just tell people to stop maybe?
it's not like sechailers are more annoying than midis

S-sorry...

[Incomptinence]

It has a delay it isn't like it is alien spam

[Scones]

Pretty retarded, IC issue, if you can't handle the sound spamming and don't want to fuck with the guy doing it, turn off your sound

MIDIs are OOC and have a mute button. Sechailers do not (and no, adding a mute option for sechailers isn't an option because the point of them is to get attention. if you're going to that length then they're useless and you should just remove them entirely).

Longer cooldown just means there's a greater pause between annoyances. Telling people to stop works but its a solution that requires deployment for everyone people who spams. This method works automatically forever.

Warnings aren't necessary in SS13. The description of the item warns you, and even if you don't read it you will find out about it if you happen to spam. That's all the warning you need. The Supermatter Shard does not give you a warning that walking into it will instantly vaporize you. I don't understand your obsession with designing the game with Valve Playtesters as the target audience.

unban tonto, if you don't want to read her spamposts just put her on your foes list

oh wait that's not how it works
the posts get deleted because
they're spam

[onleavedontatme]

I unironically found tonto, and the reactions to tonto, amusing though

[TheNightingale]

There does need to be a way to stop sechailer spam, yes, but I'm not sure setting people on fire is the way to do it? A warning first would work. "Your hailer begins to heat up!".

[Falamazeer]

Put a cooldown between uses, no need to be cunty about it and make it catch people on fire or blow up, jeez.
Bike horns are at least as bad, and vox is a trillion time-ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass explosion

[invisty]

Remove sechailers.

Put JUSTICEHELMETS in each sec closet.

WEEOOOWEEOOOWEEOOOWEEOOOWEEOOOWEEOOO

Cue coders chasing ambulances to try and set them on fire.

[Malkevin]

Because changing
+ if(cooldown < world.time - 30) // A cooldown, to stop people being jerks

To something longer than three seconds is apparently too hard/easy


I'm actually fine with them setting you on fire though, after all: I'm the guy that made summoning narsie when she isn't an objective set all the nine on fire... and ian sacrifices.

Three might be a bit too few though...
