* Allows status effects with alerts to display their duration (on the alert), adds it to a select handful (#83211) ## About The Pull Request Plainly: Expands the status effect API so their alerts can showcase duration remaining. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/51863163/02eaad84-ebb7-4af9-9895-977c6e71acc4 ## Why It's Good For The Game I figure there are some status effects out there which really want the player to know how long the duration is. And right now, for 95% of them, you have to code dive to find out. This is rather punishing for players who... don't code dive. At the same time, there are effects which *do* tell you how long they last, which leaves it up to the player to intuit when it'll run out. This can get a bit silly during lag, and again, punishes new players. That's not to say I think every status effect should report how much duration is left: **For very common effects, like sleeping, it should be left up to the player to guess.** Otherwise we lose a lot of paranoia and feeling of helplessness. (Also keep in mind this only applies to status effects with alerts associated.) Hence why I only added it, largely, to the more "gamified" buffs and debuffs - Things from (generally) one or two sources and with a static duration, (or things which already informed the player how long they last). Notable ones include Fleshmend, Convulsing (from emag defib), Regen core. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert qol: Some alerts, such as Fleshmend's, show their remaining duration on their icon. /🆑 * Allows status effects with alerts to display their duration (on the alert), adds it to a select handful --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com>
