Kintsugi Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I recently had a very embarrassing situation occur, where through a combination of sheer lizardbrain muscle memory and the fact I was in the middle of typing something, I closed a vampire dominate prompt early by accident. This lead to me misinterpreting the order - I saw the name of someone I was supposed to be killing, and assumed he was the person who used the power and made me subservient. I only realized my mistake after I was informed by a staffmember that I had ignored the dominate order, and by then the original order was far more awkward to go through with. Frankly, I think it's far too easy for these things to occur - the text prompt that vampire powers give to the people they've targeted leave no information behind after you close them, and unless you ahelp or copy-paste the orders themselves, you must solely work off of memory after you close the box. To summarize: I want vamp powers to leave a message in your chatbox, too. The popup is good for getting the player's attention - but a message in your textlog will make sure you don't lose the information you're supposed to be acting on.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I put DanseMacabre on blast in an ahelp thinking he was ignoring my dominate but the mod found out they just closed the dialogue box too early and it was really funny +1
GreenBoi Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Yeah, I don't know why it pops up as a box. It should just come up in chat like normal stuff. Stop being snowflaek smh
Kaed Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I made this very suggestion months ago, and skull said that he implemented the feature because people missed messages in the chat box. I told him that people were having the exact same problem that you did, where they accidentally closed the Dominate window and aren't able to read the command. As I remember, it was suggested and agreed that it be put in both the text box and the pop-up window, and then skull never did it. So I did it: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/7885 Edited January 2, 2020 by Kaed
