About The Pull Request

Deployable cameras that SL's get now have a 7 range proxy sensor built in. They will detect any hostiles in that range and report it over the radio.
They also have a minimap icon and flash when detecting stuff.

Deployable cam visuals are somewhat improved, with separate states for detecting things and being disabled, as well as being emissive.

Refactored how cameras manage being on or off, and how various things impact that.

Cameras now separately manage via flags whether they are actually switched on or off, whether their wires are slashed, or are EMP'd (and EMP now actually turns off cameras).

Removed some redundant/shitty code and generally cleaned things up a bit.

Some related bug fixes as well:

  1. fixed screwdrivers and wirecutters missing their tool sounds.
  2. Fixed a minimap runtime
  3. fixed certain cameras not being invisible as intended like LZ cams

Why It's Good For The Game

Gives this super niche item some more utility, particularly in sovl war and HvH.

Nicer visuals, more interaction via EMP, and better code, all this shit was apop era.
