TOPIC: [TTT] Suggestion

Server Name:
TTT
Suggestion Title:
smoke nade buff/new smoke nade
How would it benefit the server:
either makes the smoke nade useable or adds a new t wep
add drowning indicator
change the suicide bomb sound
Potential Issues/Exploits:
N/a
Additional notes:
many players have or should have noticed that the smoke nade provides no tactical use in game, so either buff the default smoke or nade or introduce a special version of it for traitors that is more dense and covers more area and possibly has a different smoke colour just to differentiate it from the standard nade, this will also add new ways of playing and having fun


the drown indicator does work ,i have it on my server and it works totally fine, last time it was rejected because of old comments that were reporting it for being broken after a gmod update but it does work now
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=481440358

the suicide bomb can be changed to "fbi open up" as the sound que as right now it is just confusing and this also doesn't go against TOU so won't cause any problems hopefully

Support

Would be nice

The problem with smoke nades isnt that they are not good at what they do its that what they do is not that good. How many times even if the smoke nade was improved can you honestly say you would have it over an incend nade, discombob or plasma nade. You can improve the smoke all you like but i dont think it will see anymore use than randomly throwing them away just to pick up an actually useful nade.

If you make it a new traitor item no one is going to spend credits on it because why would they waste credits on a smoke nade when they could buy a gun that gives 4 free kills or a c4. As for just having it on the map as an improved version i cant think of a single situation where an innocent would need to throw a smoke nade, so its just gonna be random innocents throwing random improved smoke nades instead of normal ones.

Adding that you can't see names through a smoke grenade would be kinda cool and useful as people could then use it to get in the t room etc. Implementing that and how it exactly works would probably be weird tho

If i see someone throw a smoke into the t room door im doing one of two things, watching them to see if they go into the t room or running to the portal and killing them when they come out. Also if you make it block names and someone throws it infront of the t room door just straight up kill them, you wont be able to convince me that someone throwing something that makes it easier for traitors to get away with going into the t room is not a traitorous act.

I dont see a reason to buff the smoke grenade to be honest. Even if we do, I highly doubt they will be used more often. I feel like it is in a good place right now, and is used sometimes, mainly by traitors, in situations where it benefits them. Usually to cover up someone going in the T room, or if they are in the lighthouse/tester.
