From 9459c2d9d6e027c6583176da0b1893d73b7bffce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: QuiteLiterallyAnything <154708292+QuiteLiterallyAnything@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 21:56:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Adds charge checking interactions to ethereals (#96904) ## About The Pull Request This PR adjusts the ethereal stomach equivalent (biological batteries) such that they provide their charge whenever either they or their mob owner get hit by a multitool. This is formatted in the exact same way as seen when multitooling a cable. A tip of the round indicates that this is possible. Additionally, health analyzers will show stomach charge as well. While coding this I made a couple of slight adjustments to the nearby blood level formatting for spelling and a (sometimes) stray comma. In effect this makes it go from displaying "Blood level: 100%, 560 cl, type: O+" to "Blood level: 100%, 560 cl O+" (with the underlining being a tooltip). ## Why It's Good For The Game To my knowledge, there is currently no way to get the exact and quantified charge of an ethereal. This makes it difficult for anyone healing an ethereal to definitively tell whether toxins damage is from a lack/excess of charge or some other source. Aside from that, it's also just mildly comedic to be able to check the charge of a living entity in the exact same way as a piece of insulated copper. ## Changelog :cl: add: Health analyzers now display ethereal charge. add: It is also possible to check the charge of an ethereal (or their stomach equivalent) with a multitool. /:cl: --- .../items/devices/scanners/health_analyzer.dm | 29 ++++++++++++++++--- .../internal/stomach/stomach_ethereal.dm | 20 +++++++++++++ strings/tips.txt | 1 + 3 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/code/game/objects/items/devices/scanners/health_analyzer.dm b/code/game/objects/items/devices/scanners/health_analyzer.dm index 894f20c1534..1f75ec1b4d7 100644 --- a/code/game/objects/items/devices/scanners/health_analyzer.dm +++ b/code/game/objects/items/devices/scanners/health_analyzer.dm @@ -389,22 +389,22 @@ if (blood_type.restoration_chem == /datum/reagent/iron) recommendation += "[/datum/reagent/medicine/salglu_solution::name]" if (length(recommendation)) - recommendation += "[blood_type.get_blood_name()] transufion" + recommendation += "[blood_type.get_blood_name()] transfusion" else - recommendation += "immediate [blood_type.get_blood_name()] transufion" + recommendation += "immediate [blood_type.get_blood_name()] transfusion" level_format = conditional_tooltip(level_format, "Recommendation: [english_list(recommendation, and_text = " or ")].", tochat) else level_format = "[blood_percent]%, [cached_blood_volume] cl" if (blood_type.get_type()) - blood_type_format = "type: [blood_type.get_type()]" + blood_type_format = "[blood_type.get_type()]" if(tochat && length(blood_type.compatible_types)) var/list/compatible_types_readable = list() for(var/datum/blood_type/comp_blood_type as anything in blood_type.compatible_types) compatible_types_readable |= initial(comp_blood_type.name) blood_type_format = span_tooltip("Can receive from types [english_list(compatible_types_readable)].", blood_type_format) - render_list += "[blood_type.get_blood_name()] level: [level_format], [blood_type_format]
