Toggle Crouch & Speech

Post by Elrehka Quena »

------------

I was wondering if it would be possible to implement the ability to talk whilst crouching. Too often it blows a hole in stealth and other things and ruins the feel of things. So what if crouch became a toggle command? Then you could tap in and out of it, and talk whilst in either stance.

The thing to be wary of however would be how would rolling work, I haven't quite thought of a solution to that, but maybe rolling could be bound to something else?

I'd much rather hear your thoughts so this can become clearer and hopefully implemented by Master Raun.

Thanks for reading!

The chatbox would needed to be removed or otherwise faded as well to prevent it from "sticking out" from cover.

I've often facepalmed myself in occassions where I needed to type while crouching, only to stand up.

I think this is a good suggestion.
An option to make crouch toggle would be fine, like way Walk is just now.
You can press a button to Toggle walk or you can hold a button to walk.

This way you can still roll by pressing the crouch button, but for those occassions where you wish to remain crouched, you can use the toggle.

I do not often use crouch. It's not really necessary for me.

Whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

This can be done with a .cfg file.

Code: Select all

bind c "vstr CROUCH"
set CROUCH "vstr DOWN" 
set DOWN "+movedown; set CROUCH vstr UP" 
set UP "-movedown; set CROUCH vstr DOWN"
Or something along those lines. The key commands are "+movedown" to crouch, and "-movedown" to stand back up.
