san7890 d1afd66508 The Curse Of The Slot Machine - Now Clone-less (#77841)
## About The Pull Request

Hey there,

I think it's commonly held that clone damage sucks and is overused. One
of the last places where it was in slot machine code as a type of
"immutable" damage that would cause you to die if you didn't leave and
get medical attention. It had a lot of silliness and I'm not sure if a
lot of it was meant to work the way it was, but here we are.

So, what's the changes?

* The Cursed Slot Machine will give you a status effect that will
"curse" you with repeated damage. After five curses, you get gibbed
(similar to the old behavior of the machine). Each curse has it's own
change to the status effect, with a lot of depth included. Let me know
if the fluff messages about the status effect change sucks, I think it's
neat though.
* A person with the curse will smoke. I wanted this to look a bit more
"steamy" or grey, but I think it's a decent way of communicating that
shit is fucked up with that dude.
* You also get a branded wound after your first failure at the slot
machine. Ouchers. Should get it looked at by a doctor.
* We also throw a nice screen alert and all of that jazz.
* I also cleaned up all of the code relating to the slot machine
(including a stupid double and), and did some tinkering with the status
effects framework to get the desired effect I wanted. I hope you enjoy
it as much as I did making it. We use cooldowns and stuff between slot
machine pulls.
* If _anyone_ wins on the slot machine, all curses/brands are lifted.
Lucky jackpot!
* A lot of the stuff in this code has a lot of vars that might not be
modified codewise in case admins still want to jank with this for
events.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Clone damage stinks, and I don't really like it as a way to subvert the
whole "oh you can't use legion cores to get your way". It's a cursed
slot machine, and it should do long term damage so that even if you
expend all of the resources on the station, it might all be for naught.
It's a horrible price to pay in your search for that d20. I think the
negative side effects are pretty OK as far as balance, earlier
iterations of this concept had you die _way_ too fast.

All in all, it's just way more of an interesting interaction than "you
take damage and then go to medbay and then come back in the hopes of
gambling a d20".
## Changelog
🆑
add: The Lavaland Cursed Slot Machine of Greed suddenly seems a lot more
sinister...
refactor: Instead of taking clone damage from the cursed slot machine,
you now get a status effect with a number of curses associated with it.
There's some interesting florid language associated with the status
effect as a nicety until your eventual gibbing from chasing that prize.
/🆑

I remain undecided if I should keep the curse limit uncapped (but have
the damages increase rapidly after the 5-curse threshold), so I left it
as the `gib()` from the old code. Let me know your thoughts, but I
really don't like the thought that getting the fabled d20 is easy.
