Changing weapon while on command tent doesn't kill you

Got a great new idea for the game?

Changing weapon while on command tent doesn't kill you

Postby Gorman » Tue Jan 24, 2012 10:25 am

You can refill ammo, hp, and blocks there, essentially it is like respawning but without the wait time. So why not do it with weapons too?

If you are standing on the tent and you press . then it instantly changes your gun. (If anyone is wondering, it is possible to change weapons on the fly, so don't worry about the technical aspect!)


Since people are pushing for an option for the grenade spot (health packs, ammo bags, alternate/extra blocks/ etc) that should also be changeable by clicking . (or perhaps /), and of course if you are standing on the tent then it instantly changes without killing you!

+1

But before we have to memorise all these shortcuts , . / etc, how about rather a "use" function? While aiming at the tent, if you use it, you see a GUI where you can choose from all the available options.

Indeed, I would like less shortcuts too.

Well we already have , . so to replace them perhaps pressing escape will open up a menu with such things in it.


I would like the short-cuts to remain for those who do like to memorize and use them a lot though!

A new button is unneeded, rather it could be, "pressing. within 10 blocks of the tent will not kill you."
But really think about it, if you're already that close, how much time are you really wasteing?

A bit over 10 seconds, plus 1 death (KEEPIN MA KDR UP BRO, ALSO DONT WANNA LOSE THAT AIRSTRIKE, OR STREAK).


The new button was for changing secondary slot (grenades, medkits, etc, should they ever be added).

Does it add to your deaths though? Would somebody be willing to test that out?

You show up on the kill feed and you die so I would think so. Test it yourself! :P

I don't think it will count, mainly because it doesn't say x kill y, rather y switched weapons.
