About The Pull Request Attacking someone with a gun at point blank with grab intent will now hold them at gunpoint. This means you will automatically shoot the target if they move or attack, though they're still free to rummage around in their (or your, if you continue standing next to them) inventory, speak (including using radios), and throw things. The shooter may roam around a 3 tile box radius without breaking the hold-up, allowing them to reposition themselves, though breaking visibility will break the hold-up. In addition, if you're several tiles away and they make a break for it, they may be able to dodge the projectile. Tactical choices! For the first 3 seconds after the hold-up, any triggered reaction shot will deal normal damage. Between 3-10 seconds after, any triggered reaction shot will deal double damage. After 10 seconds, the reaction shot will deal 2.5x damage. The ramp-up is to give weapons with weaker per-shot damage like disablers, laser guns, and the .38 the ability to be useful for arrests and stick ups, without affecting combat balance too much. If you got someone you're trying to kill to hold still for 2 seconds at point blank range, you may as well just keep shooting them rather than fiddle with holding them up. If you're gonna resist, it's best to do it quickly! Lastly, if the shooter is attacked and takes damage from anything, they have a chance to flinch and fire in reaction. This is a 50% chance, unless they're hit in the arm holding the gun, in which case it's an 80% chance. Why It's Good For The Game Adds in mechanical backing for taking people hostage or being able to arrest people with the threat of violence rather than actually carrying out that violence. Trying to take hostages or hold people up right now will just get you immediately shove spammed mid-"DROP $500 OR FAILRP" unless the other person feels like playing along. This makes cooperating or risking getting shot an actual choice, increasing mechanical depth while also adding more roleplay potential. Also yes, the target cuffing themselves will not trigger the reaction shot, so holding someone up, backing up, and throwing cuffs at them is a valid move.
