Base TTT let you check a body to view if they had bodyarmor or not, it seems this was removed in TTT2

It would be cool if this was brought back, its a cool feature I think

Just as a discussion-starter: Why would you like this to be added back?
I don't see a big advantage nor disadvantage in having it or not having it.

Points that I can think of right now:

• NEG: It would clutter the body search more (meh, not that much of a negative, but definitely not a possitive imo)
• NEUTRAL: It would give away if a person has spent credits on armor, or received it by other means (might confuse people on roles that would normaly not have armor? Probably overthinking this point by now though).
• PRO: Could of course "clarify" a situation in where someone needs drastically more hits to kill, and you then know he had armor (though I don't think this happens very often)

I'm not against nor for it, just want to know a broader viewpoint on this.

I kind of agree adding it back. TTT2 supported items (like armor) being shown in the search UI. I forgot to add it back in the day and never thought of it again.

I'd personally like to add a list of items the player had. This should also be pretty simple after the current vgui rework I'm working on.

But I also agree with Nick that most people probably don't care. But this doesn't mean that everybody doesn't care.

Hm, an extra list would probably be a good idea. And if this is already something you wanted to add back, I guess it should be added back.

I have something unintrusive in mind. I think we should add it back because we also added extra features for those who like to use their detective skills. Removing something is therefore a bad approach

How would this interact with new body armor, though? I thought you didn't see body armour anymore because it can be destroyed, and you can gain armor through other sources without buying body armor itself.

Good question that I did not consider so far. However, I do want to readd items and effects in some way to the body search. I will think about this once I got the vgui PR done
