i dont think it should have a battery seeing as it can be destroyed... no point, so either on/off or have to go and pick it up to deactivate it (could add tension to deactivating for traitors)

Oh wow, I'm stupid, never thinking of that. It's just on by default now, no derma menu or anything. I'll post some pics tommorrow. |

I have another idea; adding in an element of caution for the Traitors.
If a Traitor fails to hide his decoy well enough a player who finds it may silently turn it off rather than destroying it, exposing the Traitor to DNA/Radar scans without alterting him.

Probably the best idea anyone has ever suggested.

Added that, but traitors are not allowed to turn it off. Also, traitors can't destroy the decoy either. Question: Should I make it to where the decoy has DNA but the traitors can destroy/turn off the decoy? EDIT: Screenies :D http://img820.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=gmconstruct0003w.jpg |

You've done a good job, but in my opinion it's unnecessarily complicated. |

How is that? I'm open to any ideas. |

How is that?
As I stated before I think it should just be an infinite use device(until it gets destroyed of course) that the traitors can toss wherever they want, and pick it up any time. I don't think you should have to activate or deactivate it. The traitors should also be notified when it gets destroyed. The ones who are supposed to be sneaky should be the traitors, not the innocents. |

It already notifies when it's destroyed and you dont have to turn it on or off. And I guess you're right with the last sentence so the silent-turn off has been removed. |

None right now. I'll release some files when I can convert it to v15 correctly. |

I've just added a Decoy weapon to the SVN build of the game. Traitors just plant it and it takes effect until they pick it up again or it gets destroyed.

I just tested the decoy, and I like it. I was able to plant it, split up the group and take out the stragglers, leaving the remaining players too weak to take me down.
There's one problem though, I can throw the decoy down anywhere. It needs to stick to a surface, otherwise it can be thrown somewhere no one can get at.

Good point, I'll make left mouse stick it on the surface you're facing (like right mouse already does).
Certain maps will still be vulnerable to unreachable decoys if they have traitor-only areas. Not much I can do about that without limiting it to a number of charges or something.

It'd be safe to assume so.

No DNA. I think that would make Traitors very conservative with it. The main thing you gain with the Decoy is more time/distraction when they have your DNA. I don't think that's such a big advantage that it needs a significant downside, like the risk that you're screwed if someone stumbles on it. It already costs a credit after all. The Radio doesn't have DNA on it for similar reasons.

Could we also have it so it shows general area to the radar, just so it doesn't directly give it self away straight away.

It should have some sort of distinct glow, and maybe even a low hum.
