auto-crouch when typing

Postby burgerblock » Sat Aug 18, 2012 3:47 pm

I think this is fairly self explanatory and simple, but equally important. When a player is out in the battlefield and earns an airstrike/needs to votekick, they'll need to begin typing something which prevents the player from crouching. Since there isn't always three-block high cover available, players can become sitting ducks while trying to type out a command. The simple solution is to force players into a ducking position while they are typing messages, helping them be a little bit safer behind two block high cover.

I like this. I have lost count of the times I have been killed while trying to use airstrike. And for those who say "just build a wall derp!" it's not always that easy. I sometimes don't have the time to make a wall.

Or just allow typing while crouched? Which in my opinion would be better

An aimbot while typing too? ;-)

What I hate is that typing and shooting at the same time doesnt work. I dont see any reasons.

You don't have to use the airstrike right away when you get it.

Most people hide and then use it, after finding a place on the map where people are most located at.

Sometimes you get it while out in the battlefield, behind only a little cover, and hoping a mechanical dinosaur is coming to help you. Sometimes, its a case of use it, or lose it.

In a server(maybe a sham´s server), there was an airstrike script where the players just had to point on a block and press a special button.

Agreed. I'm no pro so I don't get airstrikes often, but I'm given to understand they don't carry over between lives. If so, finding three block high cover in the midst of two block high walls is a risk not worth taking.

I think you mean "most people find a safe spot and then just bomb spawn".

if your near a wall, just crouch and place a block over your head. It's only one block placed. And a small wall thats 3X3 with a small overhang over you head to keep you down. It is easy to make a wall with the click and drag thing. If your in water, go the where the land meets the water and build a overhang over you while crounching. Dig a hole and cap it off. Simple enough
