Give Warden old taser, but it only works while standing in Brig

Give Warden old taser, but it only works while standing in Brig.
This would probably be a pain to code, as brig is different on every map. As to whether the gun should be spawned on the warden, or in the locker, I would suggest the locker.
Warden should never leave the brig in the first place, so by putting this limitation on his gun, he's got a powerful weapon in the defence of brig, and a weapon that can be stolen and used against him. But only in a limited capacity, as if you try to leave with it as a changeling it's a dignified paperweight 90% of the time.

What if it was a stationary brig turret that shoots tasers through walls using a wrangler controller

You could use some of the code we use to check for crates being in areas, right? Just to check if they're in Security Office, Gulag, HoS' Office, etc. Shouldn't be too hard (but who knows).

yeah it's like one line of code to know what area something is in wouldn't be hard to implement at all. the code you'd probably base it off of would be chef CQC given each map's .json file has a list of allowed areas for it and you'd need different areas for different maps. but given the warden has krav maga gloves and the contents of the brig including the armoury at their disposal it just seems unnecessary as much as i'd like to see old tasers return in some (non-shit) form

My experiments with trying to use stolen blueprints to make more areas the kitchen (and thus CQC-able) failed, so I'm going to have to examine that skillchip to see if there's a way to make that work...
