Adds Explosive Handcuffs as a Security-only Traitor item

Rob Nelson requested to merge pull/8935/SyndiTator into Bleeding-Edge

Created by: dylanstrategie

This is one of the two Security-only Traitor items I have planned, took long enough and caused enough modifications to get a first PR

  • Adds Syndicate Handcuffs (Stylized Syndicuffs). Those look like handcuffs on every aspect, but they contain a C4 charge and are filled with electronics. They cost 2 TC for every unit
  • The handcuffs have two modes, they either explode three seconds after being engaged (someone is handcuffed) or immediately when disengaged (handcuffs are removed for any reason). Modes are toggled by pulling the rotating arm all the way back (using the handcuffs)
  • Explosion is a (0, 1, 3). This will crit the target and might breach the hull, and will "lightly" (will generally lead to internal bleeding and fractures) damage anyone close by
  • Handcuffs can be triggered prematurely by explosions or EMP blasts (might not work when in a mob's inventory due to spaghetti code as far as explosions go, EMPs should be fine as demonstrated by headsets and such)
  • Added new procs to handle handcuffs application, removal and deletion. This was done to have the required procs actually work without shitcoding in the inventory file, but could be of use later
  • Added a sound var to remove a few lines of shitcode, also allows custom sounds for your top-tier adminbus cuffs
  • Fixed handcuffing message (used to be 'User is trying to put a handcuffs on Shitler'), used a plural check so that at least this one is fixed
  • Updated a bunch of things related to those changes

Explosive Handcuffs cost as much as C4 (2 TC). The balance reasoning is that Explosive Handcuffs can be easily sneaked in on a -somewhat- innocent Security Officer, are not obvious to onlookers until it blows up, can be applied without causing alarm and can cause slightly more serious damage around the target, BUT it does not gib the target, meaning he can easily be dragged off to be cloned unlike the block of C4 which will literally remove the target outside of its head, which can be picked up and binned, or cut open and used for a braincake.
