TOPIC: [SSRP] F1 Menu Key Change

This suggestion / issue only effects SSRP staff.

Server Name: SSRP / DarkRP

Suggestion Title: Change the F1 staff menu to F3 or alternative key.

How would it benefit the server: When I am in a sit or trying to access the F1 menu, F1/F2 has to be pressed several times to clear all of the notifications off before the F1 menu can be accessed. In a busy sit sometimes you can accidentally enter lotteries or joining events. This has happened to me three times now when in a busy sit I would be pressing the F1 key to bring up the F1 menu and I would join the event which caused to be TPed away from the sit after 10 seconds leaving the F1 author on a roof somewhere. I know this has happened to a few other staff members as well. I know it would be avoided by looking out for the alerts but when in a sit, most of the time things need to be handled quickly and efficiently so having to clear notifications or being TP'ed away to event while in a sit slows things down. Joining 100k lotteries by accident is also very costly. So my suggestion would be to change the F1 menu to F3 to allow the F1 and F2 buttons to be used only for accepting votes and other notifications such as lotteries. I am pretty sure F3 is not a used button in GMOD and if it is then a suitable alternative can be found.

Potential Issues/Exploits: Only problem is that all admins and staff have got used to the F1 button but over time everyone can adjust to the new change countering this potential issue.

Additional notes: No additional notes to this issue / suggestion

Would love to hear other staff's opinions on this, information if you have overcome this and if you would find this suggestion helpful.

Thanks everyone!

bind F3 "h_ca"

You can change it in your options I believe, there are buttons for things like "MOTD", "info", "spare 3" etc. Which are something like F1, F3 and F4.
