RivalAI - Defense Against Tool Users

An optional defense mechanism that can send a jolt of electricity up through a character's hand-tool, causing damage or immediate death. Electrical effects (sound/visual) coming soon.

lol, perhaps a little brutal but ppl would learn fast I guess :) Evil as always Lucas, gg

[@pauldrive7243]

That includes you as well Jon

[@LucasMassey]

Only getting started ;)

[@rishoh]

Splitsie's doomed, now he actually has to disable the ships he wants to board, with guns!

[@pauldrive7243]

Looks like all of us will....

[@rorynorris4248]

Dang it, now how am I supposed to steal all those passing ships... I blame pilfit for this! D=

[@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV]

Sweetness!! Much better than the goofy ' jetpack dampner' which is famous for the 'ship flies past my base and kills me with my own jetpack while I'm building rovers' manoeuvre!! :D

[@Zerovanii_]

This was sorely needed as a way to prevent the cheesiness that I see most players revert to and i'm happy to see it. Can the damage done be scaled depending on the size of the craft?

[@LucasMassey]

It doesnt scale dynamically, but the damage can be adjusted (eg, 10 points every second, etc) per grid/behavior.

[@Zerovanii_]

​@@LucasMassey Interesting, but to what extent would a grid need to be damaged to be considered 'disabled' and that function be shut off?

[@LucasMassey]

@@Zerovanii_ 2 conditions will surely stop it: no power and remote control neutralization. Mod authors can setup behaviors to stop/start it with other context events as well.

[@capacamaru]

@@LucasMassey it would be cool to have it tied to a 'defensive systems' block, so that it could be specifically targeted to make the target vulnerable

[@LucasMassey]

@@capacamaru Could be possible down the road, I hope to add more Trigger types. If I added one that watches for custom block types that disappear, it could be done!

[@NuclearBumpkin]

Cheese is cancelled.

[@puddingofdoom]

Seriously, what is wrong with you that you hate players so much?!

[@LucasMassey]

Y'all had it too easy for too long ;)

[@BBDoesTheThing]

sweet

[@shookistheblaine8521]

Oof

[@scandor8599]

Would this apply to all the grids in the world? If not, can you easily identify when it is "safe" to grind before doing so?

[@Tilion462]

That is epic.
