# _PR PSA_  ## About The Pull Request Cleans up code for laser pointers, fixing some bugs like the forever-charging state or affecting dead cats along the way. Remaining charge is now available upon examine. Canonizes #45834 by implementing an upgrade to the laser pointers: installing a bluespace crystal into a laser with tier 3 or higher laser diode lets it shine through walls. Using an upgraded laser uses twice the charge of a normal one. Of course, you can only shine it on something if you can see the target behind the wall, like via x-ray or thermals. Mesons don't count, however. If one tries to jam a crystal into a pointer with a tier 1/2 laser (or a tier 1/2 laser in a pointer with an installed crystal), _something_ will get teleported, crushing the crystal. You can uninstall the crystal with wirecutters or a hemostat. The pointer will _hint_ on closer examination (`examine_more`) at a possibility of a crystal being installed if you upgrade the laser (different messages for tier 1/2/3,4). Removes one stupid 1% increase for a recharge chance per process tick if your laser was in a full recharge state because it was insignificant and irrelevant. i've had a branch for this for almost 9 months and i was always laying it off for some day later. today i just completely fucked the branch. whoops. i'm not even sure at this point what else did i fix while here, double whoops ## Why It's Good For The Game Closes #45834 - Canonizes a bug into a feature. Fixes #77003 - lol Cleaner code, possibly more robust even. Seeing the remaining charge was not available at all and the only hint was when you tried shining the pointer on something. That sucks. ## Changelog 🆑 add: you can upgrade laser pointers with a bluespace crystal to let them shine through walls at double the power cost, if the laser in the pointer is of tier 3 or higher. qol: laser pointer charge can be seen by examining it fix: fixed laser pointers luring dead cats when shone upon code: laser pointer code cleaned up a tad /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com>
