bring back paradox anomaly

About the PR

title

Why / Balance

terminator 3 judgement weekend we do a lot of judging

Technical details

its terminator under the hood all the unique code is spawning

key differences from legacy:

• it wont select any antag since it doesnt copy uplink and stuff, you cant easily steal implants, "oh you are antag? name every antag component in 1 file"
• instead of just kill + escape objectives, you also have an obj to keep your target alive. there is no more greentext so the choice to be friends isnt "punished"

spawning is still mostly copypaste shitcode so big warning slapped over it (im amazed it still works)

Media

ghost role is real

valid

redtext is real

cloning a paradox anomaly just works how

• I have added screenshots/videos to this PR showcasing its changes ingame, or this PR does not require an ingame showcase

Breaking changes

If its getting reimplemented anyways, all mentions of "Evil Twin" in the code should be replaced with "Paradox Anomaly"

why does the pr have warning thing for merging master it shouldnt have any effect on merging right

It just does that sometimes, it really doesn't matter for merging

Vm solidus already has a working version, they are just waiting for metem to be merged

This is kinda irrelevant and kinda rude; when Metem is merged the two versions can be compared and things can be improved if and where necessary.

Sorry, just wanted to inform them somebody had already worked on it, I didn't mean to seem rude, anyways this is cool, can't wait to see it merged

I much prefer the implementation proposed here over the original nyano era implementation

This one is also more complete and ready

@deltanedas Hey so, I have a follow-up question to this PR, after spending a little bit of time thinking about it, and also editing the wiki to reflect the new "Kill OR Save your target" mechanic. What if we were to add a system that checks if the person being paradox cloned was a traitor, and then selectively give the paradox anomaly objectives that were intended to be directly opposed to them?

Such as for example. John Smith(Real), is a traitor with an objective to kill the Captain. If a Paradox Anomaly rolled him as its clone, it would then generate objectives diametrically opposed wherever possible. So a Kill Captain objective becomes Protect Captain. Steal objectives can remain(Only one person can steal the captain's spare ID!), etc.

I don't like that

traitors are antags so arent eligible
