QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
The ability to request access to a door by hitting it with your PDA, pinging (via PDA) the relevant head of staff with the request, id (of PDA), and reason.
Head would receive a PDA ping with a clickylink that when clicked (within x seconds) would remotely open the airlock in question.
Pinging can be muted via PDA settings. Only certain doors have this feature enabled by default, but could be enabled on other doors via multitool.
Useful for interdepartmental collaboration and one-time access. Janitor could request access to clean. Sec could request access to enter. Scientist could request access to chemistry.
Only head PDA carts have the feature.
A fair mid-ground between getting id access from HoP (easily abused) and shouting on the radio for the a.i. or head to let you in/out of the department.

Re: QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
That’d be neat especially when an AI isn’t available.
Edit: request should go to door remote, I think that’d be a better system, plus it makes more sense.

Interesting idea. It's certainly better than faggots breaking into HoP or begging for "muh all access"

Re: QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
Going to look into this, it's a good idea. No guarantees I will be able to figure it out, but if I do it will need a cooldown on it

Re: QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
Yeah, hence the x seconds thing.
Cant make a new request until the last one "times - out" or is accepted.

Re: QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
This should just replace door remotes entirely honestly
Code: Select all
I strongly suspected the borgs were one humaned by the Captain because of their increasingly strange behavior throughout the round after the Captain had entered their upload and seemingly changed the laws. I had asked twice if I could blow the borgs to no response (because there was no admin online apparently). They were constantly complimenting the Captain and calling her pretty and essentially threatening people who called the Captain ugly - Pepper Oni.

Re: QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
if the AI is smart, they've already disabled the environment power to unpower the door, preventing it from being unbolted at all. Besides, the remote function could be moved to the PDA too (click the function in the PDA, then click a door you can see).
Anyway, this is a neat idea. Instead of the open link being in the chat, it might be better to have a link that opens the PDA and has an allow/deny option there.

Preliminary PR opened here: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/42728
May or may not get finished depending on if somebody wants to step up and do the hrefs part (or just explain how to make a proper href).

Re: QOL: Remote Door Access - PDA Requests
This is a great thing to give a HoP. After the mad dash at minute 1-10, I have nothing to do until some shitter wants all access, assuming there is a Cap/other department heads around. Giving the HoP a remote door control is ultimately his job, is great for one-time access things like Cargo Techs upgrading the ORM for science, and reduces the amount of AI LAW 2 OPEN making AI a shitty job to play.
