* Basic Wizards (#79476) ## About The Pull Request Makes NPC wizard mobs into basic mobs. These aren't actually used anywhere, since their away mission was removed, so I figured I'd have some fun with them.  Noteworthy changes are as follows: - Wizard mobs can now wear any of the four basic colors of wizard robe and hat. Rarely, they will wear the witch ("Marisa") outfit instead. There was going to be a rare Tape Wizard spawn too, but the outfit doesn't work correctly for some reason (see comments below). - Wizard mobs no longer have a set spell loadout. Instead, they always receive a random **targeted, primary spell**, a random **untargeted, secondary spell**, and the spell **Blink**. - Wizard subtypes (or var-edited wizards) can have any of the above specified rather than random. - Wizard AI will try to avoid ever being in melee, and will fire off spells whenever possible with the priority order of primary > secondary > blink. There is a mandatory 1-second waiting period between casts. - Wizard mobs use "lesser" versions of Fireball and Blink. Lesser Fireball does a little less damage and has a smaller explosion, though it is still extremely dangerous. Lesser Blink simply has a smaller blink radius so that wizard mobs don't just decide to leave. Depending on their spell loadout, wizards can be _incredibly_ dangerous mobs - stunning you with tesla blasts, shooting you with fireballs, and more. Even weakened, fireball is the nastiest of these by far, able to set you on fire or remove your limbs if you aren't properly protected. Watch out! The random lists have been kept pretty small, since I only wanted to use spells that I know for sure work. Spell cards is pretty weak in AI hands, since they don't take advantage of the fact that a human player can spam it, but I wanted there to be a little variety in primary attacks. I included an UpdatePaths script here in case a downstream is using these, but I doubt it was necessary. ## Why It's Good For The Game Removes another simplemob. The actual impact of this change is negligible, since this is an unused mob, but it's possible that this lays the groundwork for these actually being used - particularly since mappers can make them as powerful or weak as they want by specifying a spell loadout. Wizards may make for a tough boss challenge for a ruin or away mission, or a very mean surprise for an admin to drop on an unsuspecting station. ## Changelog As this is an unused mob, there are no player-facing changes. * Basic Wizards --------- Co-authored-by: lizardqueenlexi <105025397+lizardqueenlexi@users.noreply.github.com>
