Proposal: Stormtrooper Greeter (Interior Structure Item)

[Mantis]

Stormtrooper Greeter (Interior Structure Item)
This proposal details the deployment of a functional, stationary Stormtrooper Greeter NPC utilizing standard SWG interior decoration hooks and terminal mechanics.

Core Mechanics & SWG Integration

• Source Item: Spawns via a player-tradable "Imperial Employment Terminal: Stormtrooper Greeter" (obtained via TCG Loot, Faction Vendors, or a high-tier Veteran Reward). [1, 2]
• Placement Restrictions: Restricted purely to interior structural cells. Cannot be placed outside on lots or steps.
• Persistence & Moving: Uses the standard radial menu options Pack Up or Move to pick up the NPC. If the house is packed into data or redeclared, the Greeter automatically returns to the owner's inventory as a terminal.
• Proximity Radius Trigger: Emits localized spatial chat dialogue automatically whenever a player walks within a 5-meter radius of its coordinates. [1]

Proximity Audio & Spatial Chat Settings
The Greeter utilizes SWG's localized text strings accompanied by a static comm-link click sound effect before broadcasting text. [1]

• Owner / Admin List Entry:
  • Spatial Chat: "Welcome back, citizen. Perimeter scans show zero Rebel incursions."
• General Public / Neutral Entry:
  • Spatial Chat: "Move along, traveler. Do not block the thoroughfare."
• Opposing Faction Entry (Declared Overt Rebel):
  • Spatial Chat: "Hostile element detected! All stations, standby for security response!"

Customization Options (Radial Menu)
The structure owner can interact with the Greeter via the Radial Menu to tweak visual and text behaviors:

• Change Uniform: Toggle armor configurations based on player preference (Standard Infantry, Sandtrooper Pauldron, or Shock Trooper Red).
• Toggle Stance: Switch between a stationary At Ease stance and a strict Attention/Salute animation trigger.
• Set Randomizer: Enable or disable randomized flavor lines to mimic the classic feel of live SWG player housing decorations.
