Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Add a *fingergun emote. *fingergun by itself will say, "George Melon fingerguns." *fingergun-mob will say "George Melon fingerguns John Doe." There is a 25% chance each emote to sound like a pop gun.
Coalf Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I think providing such a simple way for players to make the fabled "finger guns" emote takes away from the game. The current /me system provides a sense of pride and accomplishment to the players when they successfully type out /me fingerguns.
Kaed Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Is this even a serious suggestion. Don't we already have enough stupid memes in the game without adding another one? And seriously? Give it a chance to actually make a bang sound? Voting for dismissal on account of how stupid this is even though I'm not a Dev.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 We have plenty of emotes already. This is merely adding another one.
Kaed Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I don't want another one, it's already irritating enough to have people spam finger snaps. It'll just be another spammy emote with sound effects.
BurgerBB Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I could totally do this, but minus the sounds. Could pair this with an emote PR that adds a bunch of emotes while also overhauling the system.
BurgerBB Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/blob/94fe548cf7c331d05d08868b8b0d251ea763dc87/code/modules/mob/living/carbon/brain/emote.dm#L14 Just as I suspected, the emote system is hot garbage. Could be using flexible datums instead of switch statements.
Sytic Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 This is just another emote. I don't think it should be special. Just use the click noise of the fingersnap if you really need a noise, otherwise just shoot fingerguns at someone, or "me shoots fingerguns at (some guy)" if it doesn't get added. I don't see a controversy here.
Pacmandevil Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I can make it do the "lockon" stuff with the overlay and noise and big ass chat and everything, it would increase immersion to get blown the fuck up by security for pointing fingerguns at them
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 lmao as funny that would be the first few times I think that it's a little too much.
LordBalkara Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I can make it do the "lockon" stuff with the overlay and noise and big ass chat and everything, it would increase immersion to get blown the fuck up by security for pointing fingerguns at them +1, would be great for RP and workplace goofing off.
