TOPIC: [TTT] Silencer Traitor Weapon Suggestion

Server Name:
TTT
Suggestion Title:
Silencer
How would it benefit the server:
It would be a new traitor weapon which would silence the person whom it was used on and they would not be able to use binds, chat or voice chat. It would also come up with a message on the bottom on your screen alerting you to when you were silenced, it would be multi use and each one would last for 30 seconds.
Potential Issues/Exploits:
Potentially hard to code (I don't know myself but please tell me if it is), confusing for new players
Additional notes:
Can all replies be constructive and not just people chatting shit about me ty

Like you say, this would be hard to code and given the input we have to TTT at the moment, probably will not happen. However, it’s a good idea

Definitely an interesting idea though does seem hard to code. Would be especially useful against players who use their mic a lot compared to chat users.

That said, with how the server is currently run, I doubt this will be implemented but I'm really fond of the idea.

Nick0GR wrote: Yes but that's kind of the idea of it. Such as silencing a detective so they can't force test people but I see a problem with trying to stop people blocking. The person would of course be able to use admin chat so they could teleport the player who is blocking. But I feel TTT is in dire need of some suggestions and if we can find a person capable of coding and is trustworthy they could code and add these suggestions (Capt1n said)

Why would they let Xnator touch TTT? He's already got 4 servers to code for and I can guarantee that the same amount of work would be put in as there is now

Nick0GR wrote: Isn't the fact that it stops communication kinda the whole idea? The only issue I have with this is that 45 seconds is too long and makes the weapon too overpowered, but 20-30 seconds can be really fucking cool and a great addition to the gamemode.

Raeker wrote: I agree that 45 seconds could be considered too long for something that can be purchased more than once but I think 30 seconds is a good balance! I will change this in the suggestion, thanks for your feedback!

Raeker wrote: For this to work properly it would also have to show up in the logs so staff can see if someone could or couldn't communicate at the time. Also I think the warning should be loud and clear so you don't mess up and RDM.

Nick0GR wrote: What warning? And obviously it should be visible in the logs lol, that's a given.

Raeker wrote:
This would actually be a really cool idea, however, we just simply don't have the necessary manpower to code this. Like who would actually do it?

Nick0GR wrote: It would be included in the logs for obvious reasons but i think red text at the top or bottom of your screen would be enough

Raeker wrote: When a use gets silenced it should be very loud and clear that he is being silenced so he doesn't accidentally RDM

Nick0GR wrote: I'm confused - how can you "accidentally" RDM? Nick either you aren't maming sense or I am being stupid and I honestly don't know which one it is.

Raeker wrote: As we all know there are some scenarios where using chat would tell the difference between RDM and not RDM, for example, a user tells a player to ID a body and thinks the person can hear him but in reality he is silenced and in a short notice he kills the person even though he hadn't run away from the body. Situations like these are what I'm talking about.

Nick0GR wrote: That's a bad example because you don't have to ask people to identify bodies. If they're taking too long identifying it then they can be KOSed. Not just that, why would the guy you're speaking to just stand there? You (the silenced player) aren't saying anything they can hear, so there's no reason for them to stand still and do fuck all.

So no, I still don't get your point. Maybe come up with an example that actually works, because so far I don't see the negatives here.
