About the PR
A small change to holopads - speech is now relayed by their hologram rather than the holopad unit itself
Why / Balance
It seems more natural that the hologram appears to speak, even though the sound is coming from a machine. It also shortens the speaker's name, so it takes up less space in the world space and the chat window
Works towards fulfilling #33954
Technical details
A new field was added to TelephoneComponent, allowing telephones to nominate another entity with the speech component to act as its speaker. TelephoneSystem checks for these speakers first when attempting to send in character messages, using the telephone as the speaker if it does not find one
