The Multiclassing Trait - Restricted Gear

[WarMechanic]

Description

Adds a new trait 'Restricted Gear' that unlocks job requirements for a curated list of items (most equipment), allowing you to take items from other jobs at a loadout and trait cost.

The main idea is to allow freedom of choosing items 'initial player power' at a cost of trait points 'final player power', as well as effectively automating greytiding. Item selection is moderated through loadout cost, all the numbers are up for discretion.

This trait is definitely not suitable for all servers, but it has a place in lowpop RP downstreams like Grimbly Station which I play on.

TODO

This PR only really features yml changes, so it could be considered in a complete state. However there is also room for design / balance discussion.

• Should command staff be able to use Restricted Gear? (currently yes)
• Should prisoners be able to use Restricted Gear? (currently no, but funny)
• • it would also be possible to add item restrictions on restricted gear so prisoners cant smuggle guns
• Should Restricted Gear grant access to certain items on your current job? (Heirloom armory weapons for security, lethal .50 for bartender etc)
• Tweaking of numbers, interpolation between trait cost and loadout cost.
• Does this trait need a CVar requirement? (there was some discussion on discord about it)
• Probably more that I haven't stated.

Of course, this can also be tailored to any downstream as required.

(dw death i changed it's to its)

You can use exchange loadout points to get other jobs' items.

Loadout point costs don't apply to your own job.

• I'm tempted to add 'heirloom' to literally everything, however this would conflict with my "You cannot smuggle from your own job" approach.
• Probably more that I haven't stated.

Most of this should be set in a state of "the least game-changing settings" and let others change it.
So, for example a CVar requirement, which I recommend waiting for.

i think the current iteration should be somewhat 'okay' in terms of numbers, a lot of the sus stuff is quite expensive and guns especially itll be hard to get ammo for unless you roll traitor since you otherwise get only 1 gun + 1 spare mag.

Tests were failing because you included the word (r)equires in your PR description

[WarMechanic]

i drafted the pr because cvars werent working locally and i didn't want to submit something that didnt work
(in hindsight i probably should have written this on the pr)
but if working cvars arent a requirement then the actually trait side of things is all functional, theres also the small chance its simply not working on my computer

i think itd be wise to test merge it on deep or something

again, i tested the cvar requirement locally and it was fine. ill merge the fix to your PR in a minute when I get the YML linter to stop yelling at me on the wizmerge.
