## About The Pull Request
*The Miami Mutilator is at large once again. Thank god we have such
hardboiled detectives as Manny Pardo on the case.*
This pull request allows for players to use white crayons, which have
now been renamed to sticks of chalk, to generate outlines of dead or
"dead" bodies found throughout the station in an attempt to let
detectives actually set up crime scenes as opposed to, more typically,
just causing them.
Players will attempt to draw a chalk outline if the target is a mob and
the mob is dead (or fake-dead), using a single charge of the
crayon/chalk. Also, adds a quick macro so that we can get the proper
left/right orientation of the dead mob for reference.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Detective should have more thematic, simple ways to organize crime
scenes in-round, and what better way to do that then through existing
items and mechanics that we already have. Also, I was 100% shocked to
learn that these have always been white crayons as opposed to sticks of
chalk, which certainly seems odd. In essence, this change doesn't really
let you do anything "new", but just makes it easier and simpler to do so
in a regular round without nearly as much fiddling.
This mechanic exists exclusively within the afterattack of sticks of
chalk as opposed to all crayons for thematic reasons, but I'm not 100%
sold on that and it would be simple to move over to all crayons if
people feel strongly about that.
## Changelog
🆑
add: White crayons (Renamed to Sticks of Chalk) may now be used on dead
bodies to draw a body outline onto the ground easily.

This folder is full of #define statements. They are similar to constants,
but must come before any code that references them, and they do not take up
memory the way constants do.
The values in this folder are NOT options. They are not for hosts to play with.
Some of the values are arbitrary and only need to be different from similar constants;
for example, the genetic mutation numbers in genetics.dm mean nothing, but MUST be distinct.
It is wise not to touch them unless you understand what they do, where they're used,
and most importantly,
how to undo your changes if you screw it up.
