I'm unhappy with the way revenants are right now, and my code for them is pretty unsatisfactory in comparison to what I know now. Although revenants will still fill the same role of just being spookier ghosts, they'll be a bit more passive - incapable, for instance, of giving diseases to people. The new revenants will be called umbras and will use vitae instead of essence.
Total change list:
Revenants have been renamed to umbras. Essence has been renamed to vitae. This may be temporary.
Umbra spawn events are now weighted higher and spawn an unoccupied umbra. Ghosts are alerted to the umbra's position and may interact with it to take control of it.
Umbras' health is not based on vitae but has a hard cap at 100.
Umbras have a passive vitae drain each tick, defaulting at 0.01. If the umbra runs out of vitae, they will die irrevocably. They also slowly regenerate health by doing this.
When an umbra dies, they leave behind umbral ashes that reform after one minute. They're difficult to see and can be scattered by activating them, although they also have high research levels if you're fast enough.
Harvesting vitae from critical targets no longer kills them. Harvesting a target in general prohibits them from being harvested until five minutes later, but they can be drained again after that.
EMPs revitalize umbras and give them hefty amounts of vitae due to their physical nature.
Umbras have four abilities: Toggle Nightvision, Discordant Whisper, Possess, and Thoughtsteal.
Toggle Nightvision is self-explanatory.
Discordant Whisper is identical to the original revenant's transmit.
Possess allows the umbra to slip into a human's body unnoticed. While in their body, umbras will slowly drain vitae from the human at a tiny rate - not enough to cause harm, but enough to induce adverse effects in the clueless human. These effects intensify over time and eventually lead to the umbra being forced out of their host.
Thoughtsteal paralyzes a living human for several seconds while the umbra steals their memories. After several seconds, the umbra copies the notes of the target's memories and turns invisible - the hapless victim is stunned for several seconds afterwards and can't be Thoughtstolen by the same umbra again. Umbras have an objective to steal the memories of 25% of the station's population.
Salt piles have been added, created by salt shaker or just by splashing salt. These piles will prevent an umbra from passing and reveal them briefly if they try.
Fixes bug where wabbajack statue's eyes didn't close
Removes indentation and tidies the wabbajack() proc
Corrected an inaccurate comment in mob.dm
Mass Polymorph no longer uses a spawn()
Adds syndicate medical borg, cak to possible forms
Polymorphed drones now have random appearances
GODMODE mobs are now immune to polymorph
Wabbajack altars now ghost their sleepers after 10 seconds,
because they tend to just be abandoned and left there. It's
all a dream to them, if and when they get pulled from the altar.
- Mass Zombie Infection - gives all humans a zombie infection organ to
all humans, which will make them reanimate on death.
- Polymorph All - This applies a bolt of change to all living mobs.
Slightly laggy.
