Topic: [IDEA] say_team stuff

I thought that in games like CTF where u need to co-work with ur team, bringing communication to a higher degree is a good thing to do. All i came up is that there could be some special variables which u could use in ur say commands ( especially say_team ) to report ur status to ur team. A lot of online games have similar stuff and it would help the teamplay. Something like this:
say_team I have %health health. Need help at %position.
which could expand to:
I have 3/5 health. Need help at red base top. ( health/armor )
Maps like ctf2 could be divided to zones which could have a name. For ctf2 IMHO 5 zones would be enough: red/blue base top/bottom, middle. Other handy variables could be added too, but for now i came up only with those 2. What do u think ?

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

Re: [IDEA] say_team stuff

Surely a good idea, but i doubt the devs have "time" to implement this.
Anyways i would prefer some less specific text as there are too many numbers to think of while i try to concentrate on the game.

For instance: HP Critical,SOS; NEED HP; DONT TAKE MY FUCKING ARMOR BASTARD!!!!!! would be already enough info for the others.

Until then, we will have to use team binds..

Good idea anyways big_smile

I disagree with amn, I (even if I have near-null experience) think that it won't take long, just change a variable specific to each player if they pass over a line, the hp percentage would be simple. This would require client-side mods.

if($poster["intelligence"] == $intelligence["idiot"])
        deny_post($poster);

Re: [IDEA] say_team stuff

Sounds like a nice idea! smile

But .. There's just no one that want to code stuff like that, since it takes some time - and not everyone have time ..

Hmm, I think it can be done on the server-side too, since you dont send messages to all clients but just to the server and the server then resend your message to all clients.
