New Trait: Light Step

[angelofallars]

Description

Light Step is a 1-point Auditory trait that reduces the volume of your footsteps by roughly 50%, enabling you to be quieter and stealthier. Inspired by the SS13 trait of the same name.

TODO

• Locale strings
• Reduce the distance in which Light Step footsteps can be heard
  • It turns out that whatever I did reduced the delay between footstep sounds.
• Discuss the balancing values for the trait

Technical details

In the current implementation, Light Step reduces the volume of footsteps by 10 dB, resulting in roughly halving the volume.

The fields in FootstepVolumeModifierComponent change the volume in terms of decibels.

1. Felinids should most likely be disallowed from taking this trait. Felinids have NoShoesSilentFootstep comp; which means they walk silently with no shoes on. So this is just kind of redundant, when you can just take your shoes off.
2. This should have a "heavystep" opposite, which makes it louder.
3. Worth considering adding NoShoesSilentFootstep as it's own trait tbh. (IN A SEPERATE PR)

1. Resolved with a9c62b0
2. I tried testing out a louder volume, and it seems like they limit the maximum volume of sounds (for a very good reason), so the maximum volume footstep sound doesn't seem noticeably different to me compared to normal footsteps

Stale & Resolved
