The errors thrown by the meat tendrils have been fixed but they’re still gasping. At this point one could argue it’s a feature, and from people I’ve talked to in ghost gang, it’s liked as it’s kind of creepy.
As a result there’s quite a number of solutions and approaches to fix this issue, so I’m making a forum thread to try and get some opinions.
For some context: Currently meat tendrils gasp because they have the respirator component, but nothing to metabolize air with so all they can do is choke. They don’t take damage from it, they just suffer quite loudly.
Here are some solutions I’ve thought of.
Solution 1: Let them choke, just quieter.
Raise their emote cooldown to maybe triple what is currently is. Simple enough, raises the time in - between gasps to reduce emote spam, could also increase the time between inhalation and exhalation too.
Solution 2: Let them breathe.
Give them a SimpleRespiratorComponent. I need to make one of these anyways, so it wouldn’t be a bad test. Makes it so they only gasp when there’s no breathable air.
Solution 3: No more breathing.
The initial proposed solution, remove the RespiratorComponent from them, they no longer breathe or gasp at all. Back to being silent.
Obligatory Poll…
- Quieter suffocation.
- Let them breathe.
- No more breathing.
