2 Suggestions - !backup improvements & !move improvement
Hello everyone, I have three relatively simple ideas that have probably been thought of already but I can't recall seeing any threads about them before.
Suggestion #1 - Improvement to !backup Explanation: During my time using the servers, I've noticed (and many other people have most probably noticed) the problem where only one backup call can be in progress at a time. This is annoying because you have to wait for 30 seconds to call backup if someone got it before you. It's especially annoying when a cop is somewhat desperate to get a suspect and he keeps using !backup before you can. A solution to this problem is that each backup request could be allocated a number. At the top of the screen the backup requests could be stacked from where it is normally. Let's say maximum 5 at a time to avoid your screen getting filled up, but I doubt there'd ever be 5 at once. To join a chase, you could !join [number of chase displayed at top]. Of course the number would be chosen in order of the cops calling backup. For example:- [COP] x calls for backup (this would be #1) [COP] y calls backup (this would be #2) etc. As this is only an example of how the number would be assigned, it would not show the number on the backup call message itself, but at the top when it says who it is. Advantages: No more waiting until you can call backup because someone else has done it before you. Disadvantages: People would have to write one little number at the end of !join. Surely this is not even that much of a problem. Backup Sub-Suggestion: At the moment anyone can call !backup in a chase. Only the person in the chase longest should be the one to !backup, therefore I'm suggesting that the insim would throw up an error to someone who does !backup when they were not in the chase for the longest period of time. Suggestion #2 - Improvement to !move Explanation: At the moment, people rarely look at the chat and ignore !move, and !siren etc.. my suggestion is to make it even more obvious. Similar to the message you get on your screen after 5 seconds of !chase, you'd get a message saying 'move' on your screen straight away. Unmissable. I think this would slightly increase the amount of people who actually move for sirens... Advantages: Might make people move more frequently. Disadvantages: None. Feel free to point out some. TL;DR? 1.) Make !backup have slots so you can !join (chase number) to avoid waiting for someone else's backup to expire. 1.1.) Make so only the person in the chase longest can !backup. 2.) Give people a move message on their screen when someone does !move against them. ~ BP |
