Voice Commands & Hand Signals

Post by Zeak Dystiny »

I know this is a suggestion basically suggesting to copy something from another mod, but it seems like a reasonable idea. In Movie Battles 2, you can move around and still use the voice commands. I assume, well for me at any rate, using the voice commands would be more desirable because you wouldn't be forced to one spot when selecting a command. Some people don't like using them, but I think it would add to the squad/team work play during roleplays, especially for more intense and intimate teamwork activities/events.

Furthermore, to save someone needing to create binds for hand signals/me's and the teammates always having to possibly 'stare' at a player to see which is being used, MB2's come up with another solution. In the voice command menu a new section has been added which allows you to perform the hand signals, but also when you use them a note appears in the chat telling you what the had signal was.

Suppose it's a simple suggestion, just think it might be a nice and easy addition helpful to those who might use it.

I don't know who all would use it, but I think it is a good idea for those who would. I definately like the idea of not having to make a whole lot of binds so, support.

I (would) use them a lot. Although I already have the "lot of binds" for it, adding the menu like that, not only for these emotes, but even further, for all emotes, would add a lot of dynamism when using them.

That makes me think this isn't that good an idea, the last thing we want is voice commands flooding the chat area if people are gonna do it excessively....whats wrong with using chatrooms on the server like /clanpass <Room> and /say_team_mod <Chat>...or basically use PM's?

Because you have to end up typing them out, causing possible delays? It's just for hand emotes, not really asking for anything else to be added. And I doubt everyone's going to 'excessively' use them.

If people try to abuse it, then as usual I'm sure someone would talk to/deal with them. Besides I honestly don't see people trying to excessively use this.

I think we can expect people here to be mature enough not to run around constantly hitting a voice chat. It would add to the RP, specially during missions where you don't really have the time to stand still to write out things, which why battles generally have little texted RP to them.

so yeah, support.
