Varlun Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 I'm making this thread as a result of the thread I made, suggesting to give medical borgs a 4th module slot. Instead of that idea, I think this is a better one. However I recommend reading that thread first, since a lot of what was said will still apply to this discussion. Anyway, here's my suggestion: Instead of a fourth slot, make the health scanner BUILT IN to the actual borg. So rather than it being a module, just have it be default active all the time. So that if we click on someone with no module selected, boom it'll give us a readout just as if we had used the scanner. This isn't just about making it more convenient to scan people, it's about freeing up a module slot for other things. My standard loadout is scanner, cyborg hypospray, and defib. If the scanner were built in, my loadout would instead be the trauma kit, hypospray, and defib. 6 Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10243-make-the-health-scanner-built-in-to-medi-borgs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox McCloud Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 you can turn on the medical scanner or the security scanner by using one of the buttons to the left of the modules.

Varlun Posted May 7, 2017 Author Posted May 7, 2017 You're talking about the HUD. That's different. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10243-make-the-health-scanner-built-in-to-medi-borgs/#findComment-84994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varlun Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 Based on the "thumbs up", seems like a few people are for this idea. Hopefully we can get it implemented?

Jovaniph Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Ohh I get it. I thought you were talking about the medical hud. Yeah that would be a neat feature to add. Basically as long as the Borgs intent is set to help and is a medical borg, you can scan people's health. I like it.

SomeGuy9283 Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Worth a try, I guess. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10243-make-the-health-scanner-built-in-to-medi-borgs/#findComment-85360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would work on help or harm intent.

BiberDark Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Make it shift + left mouse button. Like the AI Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10243-make-the-health-scanner-built-in-to-medi-borgs/#findComment-85381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varlun Posted May 14, 2017 Author Posted May 14, 2017 That would work. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/10243-make-the-health-scanner-built-in-to-medi-borgs/#findComment-85385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
necaladun Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 I like it in theory, it's a nice QoL thing from what I see, I'm just not sure on the interface. Shift+click or other such things could be weird with code, and conflict with other things. A code monkey would know more.

GunDOS Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 It would be easier making it use the help intent probably, but you will need a coder.
