Hey, I have a cool one.

You could add a range-based Geiger counter sound to reactors!

- optional: very few clicks outside but close to the radiation radius border
- more clicks if you're within the radiation zone (to inform you that you're close)
- many clicks while being irradiated, irrespective of the radius (I noticed that doors stop radiation)
- very loud clicks while being irradiated next to the reactor

Also, I made 2 recolored Iodine variants if you want to make it look different from Carbon:

Sadly I don't have many clue on how to make a Geiger counter since I haven't heard anything regarding even the possibility to make something like this in game

Woudl need to detect radiation affliction in the environement or it might be inconsitent depending of the reactors actual radiation AOE range

I'll add the darker iodine next update (wich is when I managed to get the reactor not catch fire during post meltdown repair)

No, I'm not suggesting a Geiger counter. I'm suggesting adding Geiger counter sounds to the reactor :)

The way to implement it would be easy: add looping Geiger counter sound files that play based on your radiation code. Everyone would be always able to hear those sounds. Just assume that every headset has a Geiger counter built-in :)

Oh that

Yeah I can add such background sound and adapt it to each range / AOE intensity rather easely

But it will go through the walls so you'll hear it even when safe :/ unless ignore cover ="false" can affect sound but i doubt that

I can otherwise put in a smaller range regarldess of the actual radiation AOE (wich is big but can't go through cover until reactor go below 20%)

Can't you make it scale with radiationsickness speed? Radiationsickness only gets applied if you're not behind cover and by itself radiationsickness is scaled with range.

Sadly no, you can hear the reactor alarms through walls, radiation doesn't affect you when closing a door because I set the explosion to take walls into account

I haven't seen any such attribute for sound files nor does adding the same as for the explosion do anything

Oh, so that's how you did it - explosions.

How about making it play always when you're getting irradiated (radiationsickness is increasing), based on the speed of getting radiationsickness?

Haven't heard anything regarding strength gain threshold attribute, can do check for multiple threshold (so a multistage system) yet not sure if its really possible

I've got another idea if that doesn't work. You could add several layers of explosions, each corresponding to a Geiger counter sound file, and those explosions would apply an invisible affliction that doesn't affect vitality but makes the sound play.

I don't think it'd be a problem that at low range you'll be hearing 4 or so overlapping sounds because most likely you won't hear them overlap.

The layered explosions could actually play the sounds by themselves.

I have multistage explosion already I can just slap a coresponding soundfile on top of it so you can hear the switch in intensity but it might still be rather anoying so a lot of sound tweaks would be needed to get it right

How's it going?
