Write_character pin, without crew spawn tags.

lua:

local function replaceIdCardAndWriteCharacter(targetInventory, oldItem, newPrefab, character)
Entity.Spawner.AddItemToRemoveQueue(oldItem)
ah_utils.time.delayFunction(0.1, function()
Entity.Spawner.AddItemToSpawnQueue(newPrefab, targetInventory, nil, nil, function(spawned)
spawned.GetComponentString("IdCard").Initialize(nil, character);
end)
end)
end
local function ah_idcard_printer_write_character(item, contained, signal, connection)
local target = contained[1]
local inventory = target.ParentInventory
local prefab = target.Prefab
local character = ah_utils.table.firstOrNil(Character.CharacterList, function(it)
return it.IsHuman and it.Info.Name == signal.value
end)
if(character ~= nil) then
replaceIdCardAndWriteCharacter(inventory, target, prefab, character)

end
end

Set InventoryIconColor
lua:
targetItem.SerializableProperties[Identifier("InventoryIconColor")].SetValue(targetItem,Color(255, 0, 0, 255))

The write_character pin is still broken.
Although it's less of an issue in campaign mode now because idcards are sold in stations.
Still a bummer for traitor mode though.
The other pins work perfectly as far as I know.

any update on broken status?

Unfortunately upon further investigation it looks like it's not possible: I can change the SpriteColor (that is, when the ID card is dropped on the floor) but the InventoryColor is hardcoded so it can only be changed in the sub editor.

That's a very good idea. I believe it is possible. When I have more free time I will add that.

Would there be any way to add a write color to this in order to change the cards sprite color?

Good, maybe one day, lua will realize life service server.

Nice!

though i could just airlock myself and wait 10 minutes to respawn as security

(not like security ever watches armory)

If security lets you then I don't see why you wouldn't.

omw to print captain access to access armory and murder all of my crew
