Airhorns should use air tanks

[GelatinousGlob]

 

Airhorns should require the use of airtanks and higher pressure airtanks should create louder sounds. Make the airhorn the size of whatever tank is attached and possibly spew out whatever gas is inside. Also make overpressured airtanks give super load airhorn sounds while near empty tanks are little air wimpers.

 

Helps prevent airhorn spam (unless you are prepared with many tanks) and gives a use for atmospherics, to make super pressurized airtanks like people want for pneumatic cannons.

Maybe make them be like a mini-oxygen tank? Stick them in a canister and fill them up when required.

 

I can now foresee clowns dragging Oxygen canisters through the station, armed with a dozen airhorns...

They already require bananium. Isn't that rare enough? Granted, it's not tough to get, but you'd be surprised how rarely it is acquired.

If you want to do this then just make them use mini air tanks like how flamethrowers use plasma tanks. That shouldn't be to hard to code but harder than treating the horn like a tank I'd imagine.

 

Or maybe not do anything, like what ProperPants said

I'm in favour of this.

 

Existing requirements already, or not.
