traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
Something to get spied on a little less by that pesky all seeing AI. I feel there are currently few options to reduce the camera coverage the AI has over the station. So my idea is the portable gap generator:
cost 4(?) TC
Activate and place somewhere on the ground, blocks all camera viewing in an x radius as long as it is activated (8 tiles?).
Should be stationary but it would be nice if it could fit in closets etc.
Or perhaps a bulkier device that needs to be bolted down and disables the camera's in a larger area.
of course balance details are always up for debate.

This would be a great addition, yes please. Since it's on the topic of blocking stuff a headset jammer would be a cool new traitor item too.

use EMPs or something.

The problem is "won't be extremely awful" here.

yeah sure i'll go steal the code from a closed source codebase with their incompatible saycode system and hope that that code wont be entirely awfulLumbermancer wrote:Goon has something like this.

Maybe the code from the abductor's silencer device, but bigger?

that is called an EMP.TheNightingale wrote:Maybe the code from the abductor's silencer device, but bigger?
unless you want for the device to make everybody completely unable to speak rather than unable to speak in radios.

Re: traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
Ais just need to not recieve camera alerts and EMPs are viable again

Re: traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
I always wanted a disguised device, like a zippo or signaller or something, that blacks out ALL artificial light in a large area around it for say, a minute.
So fire/glowshrooms etc would still work, but PDAs/camera lights/flashlights etc would all be dead for a while.
Traitors could use it to escape bad situations, or murder people in the dark with thermals/nvgs.

Re: traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
Maybe to accomplish this it can be a device that, when turned on, EMPs any online cameras nearby every now and then?

Re: traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
there is sadly no easy way to distinguish artificial light from natural light, and even the shadowling's "kill all lights" ability is pretty buggy, this would be even buggier.lumipharon wrote:I always wanted a disguised device, like a zippo or signaller or something, that blacks out ALL artificial light in a large area around it for say, a minute.

Re: traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
Why not ask in their irc if one of the coders could help with figuring out how to code signal jamming? They even have a cloaking field item too.

im literally banned from #goonstation for saying faggot
and, as i have said at least three times over several threads, their tcomms and saycode is very different from ours.

Re: traitor item - portable gap generator (camera blocker)
Even if it shut down all light in an area, that would still be neat (as long the recharge is long enough that they can't just use it to murderbone all day with thermals.
Might put some actual fear into the game when suddenly all the lights in and around your department switch off, and you don't know if som traitor is coming to kill you in the night.
