A Really CD DA Trait

" You get out of the shower and fall badly. You're blind drunk, and have a nasty cold.
On top of all this, the house is on fire! Today is definitely not your day.
[A challenge inspired by 'A Really Bad Day' from the awesome, wonderful and MUST-PLAY Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead] "

Aaah, the CDDA challenge. You love it. If you are here, you are probably like me: you'e the type of player who's masochistic and always trying to make the game harder, without making it unfair and unrealistic.
You love the CDDA challenge but you wish there's more variety to it. I mean, why does it always spawn you in the same house???
(Turns out, the spawn points of the challenge are buggged apparently, it's supposed to have more spanw locations, there's a 'FIXME' in the code left by the devs)

Anyway, you've come to the right place! With this trait you can play the CDDA challenge by simply adding the trait to your character, so you can play the challenge in Apocalypse, Six Months Later, or Custom Sandbox!

This mod adds a trait called "A Really CDDA" (and 2 others, less hardcore traits, one that only spawns fires without injuring the player and one that only injures the player without spawning fire)

What the trait does: (stuff differ from the original CDDA challenge)

- Gives + 1 point.
(If you want this trait to give more - or zero - points, you can adjust your character starting points in the Sandbox Settings -> Character -> Free Trait Points. I made it give one point so that the trait is displayed as a negative one.)
- Player starts drunk, wet, and with a nasty cold.
- Player also starts panicked.
- No items, no clothes, no belt.
- Only a key ring in their inventory since to my knowledge it's not lootable anywhere.
- There's a deep wound with glass shard lodged into it on the player's groin.
- There's also a high chance to get a scratch on either a leg, foot or torso. (leg 40% chance, foot 20% chance, torso 10% chance, left arm 20% chance, no scratch 10% chance)
- The building the player spawns in is on fire.
- A few fires have spawned in the vicinity outside, too.


If you want to base your Custom Sandbox game on the CDDA challenge settings, here they are:
- Population -> Zombie Population = Insane
- Time -> Start Month = December
- World -> Water Shut Off = Instant
- World -> Electricity Shut Off = Instant
- World -> House Alarm Frequency = Rare
- World -> Locked House Frequency = Rare
- World -> Months since the Apocalypse = 12
- Nature -> Erosion Speed = Very Fast (20 days)
- Nature -> Nature's Abundance = Very Poor
- Loot Rarity -> All on Extremely Rare
- Advanced Zombie Options -> Population Multiplier = 4 (should have been automatically set by the Zombie Population setting on Insane already)
- All other settings = Default Value.

Note: The trait works perfectly well if you create your character via the death screen, too, but I advise against it, since if you spam characters in a single world like this, you will spawn many fires in the world and you won't have much left in the end.

Mods to NOT use with this:
- Mods that give starting gear to the player. You won't get errors, but the CDDA trait should delete everything.


If you guys have ideas for balancing or new features, I can take suggestions.
