Description

What did you expect to happen?

dropping the heavy duty wire after being shocked and having it back in state of "heavy duty cable" not just cable (without insuls)

What happened instead?

dropped the cable after being shocked and it transformed into a normal wire

Why is this bad/What are the consequences?

Rewiring maint and getting shocked and not having the right cable to wire it after ward to try again upon droping it

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Dont wear insuls
  2. find a chewed / snipped heavy duty cable in maintenance or anywhere?
  3. have power flowing into cables obviously
  4. get shocked by the action of wiring the cable making you drop the heavy duty wire
  5. check if the wire is still a heavy duty or a normal wire

Attached logs

No logs, just a side note, state of player was on a wheelchair

Research direction
Investigate the code handling heavy duty wire behavior when a player is shocked. Look for where the wire's state changes from 'heavy duty cable' to normal wire upon dropping. Check the files related to electrical wiring, possibly in code/modules/wire or similar. The fix likely involves preserving the wire's heavy duty state during shock induced drops.
