What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
[I have a few suggestions after having played 096 for a while.
1st and foremost, make it NOT allowed to blindfold 096 while taking him to his CC, not only does it suck to be blindfolded but 096 should be trying to not look at people's faces anyway so having him blindfolded makes it more likely for him to see faces. Either that or if there is a way you can just make it so he can not be blindfolded at all.
Next is ideas for interesting mechanics rather than things that annoy
A 096 photo swep, most likely an event only item it is a photo which when you take it out you hold it out in front of you. Additional mechanics if you have multiple photos or you simply want to "tape" the photo to something you can hit primary click to attach the photo to anything (tape it to a wall, a vehicle, or SCP), or hit secondary click if you want to look at the photo yourself for... some reason. Additionally maybe bit of extra mechanic that if parawatch gets a hold of the swep they can press a specific button to "post the image on the internet" with a certain text. if you click the link in question then your character immediately sees 096's face. Link expires probably after 1 to 5 minutes.
096 XP bonus when he kills the people who had seen his photo based upon how little people saw him on the way to said photo. Like if 8-5 or less people saw you on the way up maybe get a 300 xp bonus, if 3 or less people saw you like an 800 xp bonus, if LITERALLY no one else saw your face and you manage to get to the people who saw you photo without killing ANYONE who didn't see the photo specifically you should get an xp bonus grand price I would think like 8000 to 2000 xp depending upon how much you want to reward that, maybe even give a little cash because QUIRKY. It is indeed OBSCENELY hard to get to the person who has
Not sure how someone could do this in code but I think that when the 096 picture spawns anyone who has scrambles equipped *as in not a part of their default loadout* gets them automatically removed.
General rule change that if an 096 photo does spawn and immediately is destroyed either because landed on its back or as it sometimes seems to do spawn in a pit which immediately kills it that staff are allowed to spawn another photo I suppose might need evidence of it.
Update 096 model and animations
Find a way to make it so 096 can't see through blast doors.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
[The blindfolded rule has already been suggested, mostly just adding it with the other suggestions, I do think that the other parts of the suggestions are original.]
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
[Positive of disallowing blindfolds for 096 is that more rp actually happens and 096 isn't as annoyed all the time when they do use blindfold.
positive of 096 swep with mechanics is good for rp and I think would be a really funny way to have a breach happen.
096 XP bonus would encourage 096 to try his best to not have his face seen by others and try to ONLY kill the target, would make for some interesting high skill gameplay of avoiding the sightlines of people.
The automatic scrambler remover would make it so perma scramble people *people who wear scrambles all the time* aren't going to instantly end a 096 breach without any recourse since it is fail rp to wear scramblers all the time anyway.
096's photo being respawned when it does immediately get destroyed would make it so it is less frustrating to play 096, waiting for hours in order to breach for it to immediately just stop? frustrating and makes me not want to wait for breaches anymore.
The model and animations are goofy, only reason why people don't usually notice is because they aren't looking I just want him to look better.
Always feels unfair when someone "sees" my face through a BD
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
[I do not think there is a negative of the blindfold rule the blindfold is annoying and people only do it to annoy the 096.
negative of the 096 swep is probably that it could be the worst breach of all time, someone tactically using 096 like that could be DEVISTATING though could think of it as a positive because it would be funny.
Negative of the bonus XP is a couple things, just ODD gameplay from 096's I suppose not looking towards their destination, AND once the 096 gets over the "Target killed bonus cap" as in the targets they killed on the way to their photo target would have them not care anymore after that, though 096 still shouldn't be making people not see his face. Additionally target killed bonus would maybe be too easy if you get a bucket on your head, so maybe make the bonus not apply if you get bucketed. ALSO on low pop the bonus xp would be too easy to accomplish so I suggest making it only apply when population is 60 or more.
The automatic scrambler remover would be annoying to players who thought they were safe from an 096 photo when they were not, but they shouldn't be wearing scramblers anyway all the time.
096 photo being respawned could be abused I suppose but that is why evidence would need to be required for it.
I don't know how 096's model and animation changes would affect his face "see box" *like hitbox but with your eyes*
From what I heard with the 096 seeing through BD it is a REALLY hard fix due to how gmod is programmed so can just ignore that one if it too hard.]
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
[I believe that the suggestions I made are interesting and could change up how 096 works, I think the suggestions I made here should be tweaked and tinkered with to see how it could be balanced well. Of course this is a LOT more code for every single one of these so this is a big set of suggestions but I think it is neat to think about.]
