The Throwing Update

[angelofallars]

Description

Turns a plethora of items into throwing weapons that deal damage when thrown. Throwing weapons cost stamina to throw.

Technical/Balance Details

To make a melee weapon also a throwing weapon, just add - type: DamageOtherOnHit, and it will automatically inherit the damage from a light melee attack and the melee sound effect as the thrown hit sound effect. You can set a custom damage value with the damage field (necessary when the item is not a MeleeWeapon) and stamina cost with staminaCost.

To make the throwing weapon embed and deal damage over time when embedded, add - type: EmbeddableProjectile and - type: EmbedPassiveDamage. By default, the embed damage per second is 5% of the throwing damage, but it can be modified on EmbedPassiveDamage with throwingDamageMultiplier.

The default stamina cost for throwing is 3.5 stamina. The baseline cost for almost all DoT embeddables is 5 stamina, because of the extra damage the DoT brings.

When a thrown item hits a target with body parts, it will randomly select a body part and only deal throwing damage to that body part. It will also embed to the same body part and only deal passive embed damage to it.

TODO

The unchecked checkmarks are best addressed in another PR but they will stay here for now.

Show Todo

• Deal with prediction issue on embeddable projectile removal
  • This happens even before this PR so not really a big issue, maybe in a separate PR
• Add embeddable damage numbers to embeddables
• Fix throwing angle for surgery tools after the surgical tools sprite update
• Try to make the throw knockback function as if it hit a wall
• Esword/desword/e-dagger toggle embed damage
• Don't start passive embed damage if EmbedPassiveDamageComponent has no damage
• Make DamageOtherOnHit.Damage not nullable
• Throwing damage only to a specific body part

Traits

• Enraged Throw (Oni)

  • Oni/trait damage bonus applied to throwing weapon too
  • Can throw carried bodies, which will do a MassContest between the thrown body and the hit body to determine blunt damage, and stun duration for each party
  • 15% resistance to thrown/embed damage
    • This helps when their enemy uses the items they throw against them.

• Sharpthrower (Human)

  • 10% more Brute thrown damage
  • 50% chance of throw hitting targetted body part
  • 40% throwing stamina cost reduction
  • 15% resistance to thrown/embed damage

Embeds

• Adjust embed damage per second to be like /tg/ (in /tg/ spear has around ~1.2 embed DPS, adjust for ~45% embed chance since we're not implementing embed chance and its 0.54)
• Merge EmbeddableProjectileComponent and EmbeddablePassiveDamageComponent
• Split SharedProjectileSystem into EmbeddableProjectileSystem
• Embed to a specific body part and deal damage only to that part, for now can randomly select body parts on embed
• Normal passive damage becomes x0.2 when lying down
• Increased damage when moving, more bonus damage for running (Jostle DPS on /tg/ is 0.2 running and 0.1 when walking/crawling)
• All embeddables have a fall out time (30 or 45 secs)
• - [x] On damage examine, can see that an object is embeddable "It can embed on a target if thrown."
• Negative moodlet for attached harmful embeddables
• On health examine target with embeds, can see embedded objects "He has a spear embedded in his left arm."
• On examine item that is embedded, can see to which body part the item is embedded "The spear is embedded on Urist McHands's left arm."
• An embeddable removed outside of surgery deals a lot of damage (x2 thrown damage)
  • Lying down prevents natural falling out and thus the damage with non-surgical removal
• Surgical procedure on a body part to remove all embeds on it, using hemostat for removal
• Allow anyone to remove embedded cultist weapons even if they're not a cultist

Changelog

🆑 Skubman

• add: The Throwing Update is here. You can throw most melee weapons at the cost of stamina to deal damage from afar.
• add: Dozens of throwable weapons, mainly sharp weapons will now embed on throw and deal damage every second until they're manually removed or naturally fall off after some time.
• add: Examining the damage values of an item now shows its throwing damage, throwing stamina cost, whether or not it embeds on a throw, and if the embed deals damage over time.
• add: Examining an embedded item now shows what body part it's embedded in.
• tweak: The traits High Adrenaline, Adrenal Dysfunction, Masochism and Low Pain Tolerance now affect throwing attacks just like melee attacks.
• tweak: The default time to remove embedded items has been increased from 3 to 5 seconds, and both the remover and the target with the embedded item need to stand still during the removal.
• tweak: The time to pry up a floor tile with a crowbar and other tools has been decreased from 1 second to 0.5 seconds. The throwing damage of floor tiles has been increased. Go figure.
• fix: Attempting to throw a Blood Cultist item without being a cultist will stun you and drop the item you're holding properly.

blunt weapons bounce off of people?

This test fail is valid actually, it will cause map files to fucking destroy themselves.

This entire method is not allowed on ComponentStartup, because modifying the datafields of a component during component startup will cause corruption of map.yml files(It will save the component modifications to the map if you do this on a live server). You can instead do this through MapInitEvent, which is the semifinal initialization step, and occurs after the maps are saved.

Gotcha will try that out
