Author Topic: Tactical Emotes - For people who don't like typing. Update preview~  (Read 6124 times)


If you're a lazy forget like me, you probably don't really want to waste time typing in the middle of a fight to ask for help or anything. It's much easier to yell at everyone at the touch of a button.
And thus this add-on was born.



WHAT
it's an emote, so it just spawns particles about you as far as seeing stuff goes. Each emotes has its own straight forward /command and also adds a keybind for you since not typing is the entire point of this. In addition to of course spawning an emote (in the same fashion as /wtf, several bubbles spawned about you), this also sends a team chat message detailing how forgeted you are and what you need. The following are the emotes and their commands.


/back


/go


/dropoff


/pickup


/yup


/nope


/medic


/split


/regroup


a secret

SUGGESTIONS?
If you have an idea, just post here and I'll take a look.
Please note that I am not adding sounds. As far as I know this would require me to change how the emotes work (/alarm is an explosion spawned above the player while this are just emitters on shapes basically) and, for that matter, they sound like absolute crap in first person.
