stun and telebaton rework

[hal9000PR]

What Does This PR Do

stun batons:

• 60 stamina damage, crit in 2 hits, or 1 hit + 2 disabler shots
• confuse for 10 seconds
• knockdown (force crawling) for 10 seconds, instead of a 14 second stun, after a delay of 2.5 seconds
• have a cooldown of 3.5 Seconds between swings if you stun someone with a swing. (this cooldown is shared between all stunbatons to prevent people hot swapping batons to insta stun)
• throwing the baton now has no RNG chance to stun

stunprods:

• 40 stam damage, crit in 3 hits
• knockdown for 6 seconds, instead of the stunbatons 10
• all other changes are the same

telescopic/ "classic" police batons/ NT rep cane, ETC.

• force crawling for 6 seconds
• 30 stamina damage, affected by melee armour of the chest

contractor baton:

• stam damage is the same, not affected by armour
• the short stun at the start is replaced by a slightly longer duration of crawling

Why It's Good For The Game

combat ending in a single click is unfun. most of these changes have existed in the crawling PR with great feedback from the general community.

Changelog

🆑
tweak: stun batons now do stamina damage and force the target to crawl after a brief delay. hitting them twice will stop them from moving. stunprods do the same, but they need 3 hits to stop them,
tweak: telescopic/classic/NT rep cane now cause knockdown and stamina, affected by armour
tweak: contractor batons short stun is replaced by a slightly longer crawl.
tweak: throwing batons no longer stuns.

contractor baton should stun, contactor is already hard enough and the baton should be better than a stun baton

it already is better than the stun baton. it has no delay to the force crawling and its cooldown is lower between swings.

I would suggest that the telebatons actually deal 30-40 stamina when used, so you can actually potenially deal with someone as a head of staff / detective, rather than having to run away. Security can often be busy, and not able to deal with demotions / removal of people in reasonable amounts of time. RD / CMO should not have to wait 2 minutes for sec to come to get the clown out of scichem / virology / wherever else.

Too weak nerf. You are capable of more.

[MRgaty]

What I fear the most is having this merged but keeping the stupid RNG disarm. The lucky click could end any of your attempts to kidnap someone if you need to land 3 hits on them

[hal9000PR]

Batons now do stamina. OP editted.

Unsure if this is intended; With this PR when using a baton it puts ALL actions on cooldown. Not just using the baton. When trying to baton someone and swap to cuffs I had to wait for the entire baton cooldown. I don't think this is intended, and if it is...why?

not necessarily intended, but it is intended to put other things on cooldown, that way you cannot switch to another baton instantly or a disabler instantly to stun them instantly.

[Inadvizable]

Having played several security shifts, I must say stunprods might be a bit undertuned. They are basically not a threat, I just win with my baton. Even when surprised.
