* Creating new objects is cheap, in fact comparable to the cost of getting it out of the pool, so it doesn't help there.
* Placing items in the pool is far more expensive than letting them garbage collect due to the resetting of vars and such.
While I was rooting around in hydroponics code, I saw that a list was being regenerated with UI interaction, so I threw the list into the plant controller.
No proper sprites for the Floral Somatoray's new mode yet, but it uses the gun sprite from mutate mode, and the projectile sprite from yield mode.
Adds a fairly simple system that allows adjusting various numbers like max health, incoming damage, outgoing melee damage, etc. The nice part is that changing certain variables this way (like max health) is a lot safer than manually setting the max health var directly.
Changes a lot of short lines of code to point towards a variable's getter or setter helper instead of reading the var directly so the modifiers can work.
Endoarmor, delayed toxin sting, Enfeebling sting, and recursive adrenaline overdose now use the modifier system.
Enfeebling sting now only lasts two minutes, from five minutes, however it now also reduces the victim's melee damage by 25%/50%, and increases the damage they suffer by 10%/35%, for normal and recursive respectively.
Delayed Toxin Sting's effects are now felt all at once instead of over the course of a few minutes.
Hand-held flashes now do 30 halloss per flash, if the person lacks flash protection.
Hand-held flashes now can be used 10 times per minute instead of five, due to needing ~4 flashes to down someone.
Flash rounds do 20 halloss if the mob hit lacks flash protection.
Fixes auto blindness and no click on 510 servers, lessens the lag of
mesons and material scanners, and I suspect the general speed as well.
I only made it work for Polaris (and by extention, to our server, Eros),
and adapted it a bit.
