Idea: Injectable Traits

[InfinityKage]

You know how you have the neural transmitters that let you inject skills? How about some that let you inject traits? Like if you want someone to be an optimist or a cannibal or whatever you just fine a transmitter with that trait and have them inject it and BAM! Now they have that trait.

That would be cool. Shouldn't be too hard, either;

1) Copy the thingDef for Neurotrainer from items_exotic.xml
2) the Neurotrainer class it references decompiles nicely, it picks a random skill in PostMake(), and in UsedBy() it applies the skill bump
3) You can add a trait by: pawn.story.traits.GainTrait()

I think the only wrinkle is that some traits can't be applied to everyone (for example I think I remember seeing Bloodthirsty can't be applied to colonists who refuse violence) so you might want to make sure the trait gets applied before destroying the neurotrainer.

Now all we need is someone who actually knows how to do this.

I will take a look and see if i can pull it together but this afternoon

You're doing God's work son.

You ever come up with anything Blaze?

Here's an idea:

"When the local government imposed harsh restrictions on joywire manufacturing, he began selling his products on the black market."]

This is a great idea. No more sending pessimest's to cryosleep because of stupid drone, inject with sanguin / optimist. And more importantly, no more forgetting to let them back out when psychic drone is away.

Yep. Helps with making a spacific type of colony. Like blood thirsty pirates or something.

... I foresee entire colonies of cannibal joggers in my future.


By the by, dev mode does have a "give trait" tool, so the code might already be there

The only thing worst than a cannibal...

Fair enough. Not like I'm doing any good.

There's two types of traits, too, singular and spectrum, I think you can't have more than one trait on a spectrum.

you can set pawn data to anything, including invalid combinations, but game may refuse to work in such case.

suggestion is fun, but it does not fit game concept - there is no drama possible when you allowed to "brainwash" your colonists into perfect killing machines.
