Sending & asking 4 points


Static

Recommended Posts

okay ill start with asking for points which is more of an observation, mercman and maestro have very noticable accents and yet they are the only ones apart from me doing what i like, they ask for points on the chat, then on the voice chat and when the do they speak in third person so maestro would say "send maestro points" or "maestro needs a heal" even though we reconise their voice straight away however there are still lots of people who play the server regualary who say i need points or a heal or whatever and im like who's talking? and rarely get a response i would request that as a kindness that if you request something using the voice chat that you speak in third person :) oh looney has a noticable voice aswell, cant forget the pumpkin.

 

sending points, this one is a hard one as even when your incapped as apposed to running around its still hard to send points as you are shooting zombies off yourself and even when you ask for points and they eventualy do send thm after 20 minutes or so lol you end up with 4 times more points than you asked for and need to send them back out i request a quicker way of sending points which also incorperates a restriction coinsiding with the number requested for instance ..

 

Static.gc: !np 4 ---click link so send the requested points

static has received the points he/she needs

player1: !sp stat 4

player 2: !sp stat 4

sorry but you cant send more than requested your points have not been sent

 

it would be good i reckon to have a button not nessercerrally in the chat menu that sends the points, but we cant alsways do that so if you type

 

Ststic.gc: !np any

 

this would allow people to send you as many points as they want

but this you would have to type a desired amount as usual in the chat menu to send

Try to include end points into your post as it's kind of hard to read.

 

On the asking for points thing, yes. Always include your name.

 

On the sending points: I've considered suggesting something similar, however having to type out points makes it extra challenging: do i stop running around and type to send out points or keep running?

I like the idea of simplifying sending points. Most times people are incapped it's the hardest part of the map so you have the least opportunity to send points anyways! Nevertheless, a lot of time people not sending points is just greed, not business.

 

The clickable link isn't a bad idea, but there could be problems with capping it by their request. For example, if someone does ask for points via voice chat, then how do we manage how many they get?

I also like the idea of just turning it into a chain thing via chat, if that's doable. One person types !np #, then the next only has to type !sp and it'll send them their request. *shrugs*

Not entirely related, but I was wondering if it was possible to have the points lost when a player leaves due to member kick etc. be spread out along the rest of the team? There have been a few cases, and while this isn't a huge issue, where infected non-members have tanks and are about to buy them but are kicked for member slots, the same goes on Survivors where everyone may send points to a player who then dies and ragequits.

Don't think this is possible to have a link or button to press... but what you could have is this:

 

if a player has used !np within the last X seconds, then anyone who types '!sp player' will automatically send the requested amount, if they have enough points.

The best alternative I think, would have to complete overhaul of the send points, and make it a menu like the buy menu

 

!pts

 

Will bring up a menu with a list of the players on the current team.

Since 0 is the last digit on the keyboard (not including the numpad) it would read 1~0

After clicking a name

1 Send 1 point

2. Send 5 points

3. Send 10 points

4. Send all points

one of things I want to implement this summer is !rsp (reply send points)

 

This would especially be useful for me because I cannot type well, especially under stress

 

how it works is someone says !np 6 and !rsp would send them 6

ie:

crasx: !np 15

jkap: !rsp

biggs: !rsp

 

jkap would send me 15 points and biggs wouldn't be able to because the request has been filled

 

in the case of:

crasx: !np 10

jkap: !np 5

biggs: !rsp

 

biggs would get a menu to choose who to send to.

This could also factor in points since request. so if I !np 15 and get 2 for a tank kill the request would change to 13

a lot of regulars and semi regulars dont ask for points when they're incap...especially in hunter spots, charger chokes, even when tanks are up etc...

 

this displeases me.

1) when reading the beginning of this post, I knew Swat would respond with this! 2) If you are ever in doubt who is asking for points, the best thing to do is just type "!sp pea all" , I find that helps out the team the best. 3) why isn't my enter key working? I cant make paragraphs. It is driving me nuts

For Crash's !rsp menu, I feel like another thing that could help is if there was some way to differentiate between mains and other survivors, maybe write the names of mains in different colour text.

I like that idea it would be more or a escort mission then. Whenever there is a point in the map when after you have passed a blockade you physycally cant turn back i always check who the mains are then command them to drop or pass first unless of course its a death point.

 

also I dont want to start another thread so ill just put it here

 

when you are a surviver and it hasnt shuffled yet please do not choose a hat many a time i have chosen a boomer head and been shuffled, for some reason if you get shuffled to infected the hat stay on even as a ghost this not only helps the survivers shoot you as a smaller infected such as jocky or hunter but improves their chance of a head shot, not to mention they can see you running into a room to spawn, so thats just something to look out for, even tho it is funny when they see a floating shopping trolly and get confused.

That's the reason why you should do it!

There are a lot of times I'm sure someone who need points but doesn't say anything is probably they type it all wrong. I know I do..
