Ballistic Vests

Description
In beta, there might be some bugs.

Protect yourself with these vests. yeah

About
Realistic-esque ballistic vests (plus a helmet and full kevlar suit) that I made in a day! The vests will only protect your chest and stomach, and will not protect your limbs. You can also wear a Combat Helmet to protect your head. (Be senseful, wear a helmet) Heavier vests will reduce more damage but will also reduce your mobility more. Ballistic vests dont work against melee, only bullets, but there is also a stab vest.

Features

-Vests that only protect your torso

-Helmets that save your life

-Durability for vests

-Sounds when your vest/helmet are hit

-Dropping vests when equipping new ones

-Dropping your vest and helmet on death (Can be toggled in Options)

-Unequipping your vest through Options (I can try adding a chat command later)

How to use
Press E on a vest or helmet to equip it. If you already have a vest on it will replace it and drop your previous vest.

You can unequip vests and/or helmets in Options > Ballistic Vests (I will add an easier way like text commands soon)

NOTE that even with a vest and helmet your limbs will still be unprotected (Shouldn't be a problem since for some reason shooting limbs only inflicts 25% of the damage in vanilla gmod)

There are 5 different types of vests:

Lightweight Vest: A light ballistic vest that is easy to use. Preferred by VIPs and security, this blocks 25% of incoming damage with no mobility reductions.

Ballistic Vest: A normal standard-issue ballistic vest worn by police. Blocks 50% of incoming damage with slight mobility reductions.

Heavy Vest: A heavy ballistic vest. Blocks 70% of incoming damage but you will be moving significantly slower.

Stab Vest: A vest designed to resist sharp attacks. Effectively blocks melee weapon damage, but ineffective against bullets and will break fast against bullets

Custom Vest: A vest that you can customize values of!

Kevlar Suit: A full kevlar suit worn by Overwatch Soldiers. This suit covers your whole body, so there's no need for an extra helmet. Blocks 75% of incoming damage all over your body, but makes you move very slow. (Note: When de-equipping this suit I have no clue how to change it back to your playermodel, so temporarily it will change you into a Metro-Police playermodel.)

Bulky Vest: Nobody really knows where this came from.

There is also a combat helmet that will block 10% of incoming damage. It can save your life from sniper rifles!

Things to be added

-Vests shown on the player

-Better method of unequipping your vest

-Fixed playermodels for Kevlar Suit

-Possibly more vests

Unlike you cowards, I don't have to add "(in [insert game])" unless I'm playing Rimworld.

better than having to spawn a healthkit every 10 seconds while commiting warcrimes (in gmod of course)

I just checked the code and here's what i figured out (im not a coder and this all can be just a shitty misinterpretation but still):

Lightweight vest actually scales Bullet, Shotgun and AirboatGun damage to 0.60
It also scales Slash, "Club" and AirboatGun damage to 0.90 (AirboatGun damage scales 2 times but on different lines)

Ballistic vest decreases Bullet, Shotgun and AirboatGun damage to 0.45
Also gives melee protection from same damage types, 0.80

Heavy vest decreases Bullet, Shotgun and AirboatGun damage to 0.30
Melee protection, same damage types, 0.60

Helmet also decreases 3 types of damages above to 0.35

Stab vest... Has an unusual bullet protection. Damage scaling here is literally written in green with "--" which means it's just a text & not an argument. It just doesn't work. But melee damage scaling works (same dmg types), it's 0.45

Kevlar suit decreases Bullet, Slash, Shotgun, AirboatGun, "Club" damage to 0.20
