De Onut Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 As the title states. It gets rather tiresome seeing Plasmamen Shadowlings instantly burst into flames upon evolving, or Vox dying to toxins damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Shouldn't they already do this. Although it sounds really ironic and hilarious that plasmamen shadowlings light on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauka Usanake Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Not only does the station's lights burn them but so does the light of their own body flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikecari Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Holy kek. Bug of the month, everyone. And yeah that's a serious development oversight if I ever saw one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZD Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 GODDAMNED SNOWFLAKE SPECIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I'll see about fixing this. Just to make sure, are you having these issues while in the cocoon while hatching, or afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Onut Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 It begins right as the process starts, as it strips everything. (Vox N2, Plasmamen hardsuits) It continues to cause toxic (for Vox) or burn (Plasmamen) after the evolution process. Though, with the plasmamen side, I have not experienced it personally, but have witnessed it. Also, Diona may need to be looked into. Shadowlings dying due to a lack of light would be somewhat amusing, yet sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinatacolada Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Can't changing the species to shadow people fix it? I think I saw that on some admin panel on local, and while I didn't look at the code at all, it should fix it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeykins Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Plasmamen will have enough time to hatch without dying due to the flames, but the fire more or less bugs the hell out and produces infinite light on the player, which then turns the newly transformed shadowling to dust. I have first hand experience with this. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw that on some admin panel on local, and while I didn't look at the code at all, it should fix it, right? Wouldn't that make shadowlings take twice the damage from light (as they're both a shadowperson and a shadowling)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeykins Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Admins have fixed this for me on multiple occasions by just making my plasmaperson an IPC prior to evolution. c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hatch, you drop everything and lay down in a 3x3 cube of xeno resin (It really is, don't lie), at which you sit there until the game sets your race to Shadowling. He's proposing making you a Shadow Person during this time period I believe, so you wouldn't get the Shadowling powers but you also don't die while "hatching" while keeping it thematic.

pinatacolada Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Pretty much. Basically, instead of changing the species after the cocoon things hatches, change straight away, which shouldn't stack the light damage, I think? And even if it stacks, it'd mean the light damage was snowflaked into the shadowling, so removing it and keeping the light damage to the race only should fix it, maybe.

I think I saw that on some admin panel on local, and while I didn't look at the code at all, it should fix it, right? They already get their species changed to the shadowling species, which is a subtype of shadow people; however the species change happens as hatching finishes. The strange thing is, after the species change, they shouldn't at all be catching on fire/suffocating because their species no longer has the properties of their original one.

davidchan Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The only reason I can see for species NOT to change is in the off chance that someone finds the cocoon and rips it open before the hatch is completed. Other than that, a big +1 from me for changing/removing species vulnerabilities upon cocooning. Only other way I can think to do it is to have it set the hatched sling to full health upon hatching and automatically extinguish all lights in the area to include putting out fires as it hatches or a moment before.
