Silver Monocle Works Like Mercantor's Eye, Steward Can Select Their weapon

[Sulaboy]

About The Pull Request

Silver monocles can be used to see the value of items or the value of all items on a tile by clicking the item/tile.
I thought about making a special monocle, but this probably isn't a problem, because the only way to get silver monocles is like one of two spawns in on Vanderlin, being a specific minor noble, or buying them from the merchant.

Makes Mercantor's Eye cheaper to buy. (Smart merchants won't be handing these or silver monocles out to people who would use them against them)

Steward has the same weapon choices that minor nobles get, without the stat ranges. Steward gets base 20 knives/swords.

Changed silver monocle grid size from 1x2 to 1x1.

Why It's Good For The Game

Monocle seemed like a fitting way for steward to get the same tile price check that merchant has (Examining and math sucks and we all hate it).

Mercator's Eye is now worth 75 mammon, and costs 100 to buy.

Weapon choice good, Steward has a bad stat line anyways.

Changelog

🆑
add: Silver Monocles can now check the price of items or all items on a tile by clicking. Steward spawns with one.
balance: Stewards can choose their weapon

I'm fine with this. makes sense for the steward. though give the steward a fancy scabbard if they take sword. they are the steward, they have all the money.

If you are going to make it so the sivler monocle has a special power, it should say so in it's examine (lore wise, since it entails that it has an enchantment) IMO.

I was just going to go for the idea that it physically lets you look at things better like one of those jeweler magnifying glasses, but now I have the idea to make it so if you don’t have golden blood it will give an inaccurate estimate like 25% higher or lower.

[TheGreatSkeletonman]

ben is right it should still say what it can do in its description. people need to know if an item has functionality.

/obj/item/clothing/face/spectacles/monocle/examine()
. = ..()
. += span_notice("Click on a turf or an item to see how much it is worth.")

it has tool text, in yellow, but I’ll write up some fluff.

[TheGreatSkeletonman]

ah I see, yeah a small fluff blerb is good too, but glad it has the yellow text.

[Sulaboy]

Alright, cleaned up the text a bit, added some new bland descriptions to some spectacles that didn't have any. Changed the price of the Mercator's eye. Made it so if you don't have the see prices trait and use the monocle your appraisal will be inaccurate. Mercator's eye is enchanted so people using that without the perk will get accurate appraisals.

Suggested change

	var/choice = tgui_input_list(spawned, "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON", "STEWARD", options)
	if(!choice)
	choice = "Dagger"
	var/choice = tgui_input_list(spawned, "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON", "STEWARD", options, "Dagger")
	if(!choice)
	return

[Sulaboy]

I ended up having to keep setting the dagger as choice if none was made, unless you know a better way to make sure they get something if they just click the X on the window.

[CheffieGithub]

With this change? It's setting the default value

[Sulaboy]

So this is what happens for each of these when I test them.

	var/choice = tgui_input_list(spawned, "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON", "STEWARD", options, "Dagger")
	if(!choice)
		choice = "Dagger"

Submit = Gives Selected Weapon
Cancel = Get Dagger
Close Window = Get Dagger

	var/choice = tgui_input_list(spawned, "CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON", "STEWARD", options, "Dagger")
	if(!choice)
		return

Submit = Gives Selected Weapon
Cancel = Get no weapon
Close Window = Get no weapon

1: create the scabbard
2: create the knife
3: Insert the knife update appearance
4: equip scabbard

I think I did this right, it works, but please look at it.
