Zyner Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) DISCLAIMER: While the file is only 0.007MB, the true decision will come from how it affects performance as the Add-On most likely has a script that repeats "Is Player Here?" and such when performing the video & voice link between the two Holocomms. The suggestion is mostly to see how you guys would feel about adding this as while it is very immersive, it is also very useless as it is only usable within reason. The testing of it will decide its final fate. Name: Zyner Suggestion: Adding a Holocomms device Implementation: Allowing Admin+ to spawn a Holocomms device to BCMD+ (or any rank with a worthy reason) during events when requested or approved by a Game Master. Could potentially add this to the loadout of all High Command jobs depending on performance after it is tested. Lore: There were Holocomms in Star Wars. Currently we just use /comms but with this it would allow more direct & immersive coordination & communication between High Command on the Battlefield or even in the base where immediate yet confidential information is required to be transferred. Workshop content if applicable: (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development") https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1693000098 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dID5JW1Dok&feature=youtu.be&t=40 If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: Add the Holocomms Entity Job: All High Command Jobs (Either BCMD+ or REG+) Model: N/A Weapons: N/A Other: Holocomms Entity As stated before, the adding of this entity to High Command would only be allowed if there is no performance impact from them having this item; Otherwise, it will be only able to be spawned by an Admin+ at the discretion of a Game Master during events/encounters (which includes the request of one even if below the rank within reason.)

It would be very fun to see this around different events and RP scenarios. I can imagine right now, having a call with a hostage taker while they show their hostage in the background and demand their terms. That would be pretty sweet.

And allow game masters to spawn it for events maybe? Or Possibly adding it just for BCMD's and Gamemasters? Gamemaster for sure, my main intent for this Add-On would to be used during events. Otherwise, it would be to the discretion of the Gamemaster overseeing an encounter or someone requests it during passiveRP with a worthy reason. As far as Donator Perk, it would certainly be unique and worth spending real money on over sweps. It has both utility and entertainment value but the cost of it would certainly be high, I'd even guess at $20, because of the necessary precautions - or perhaps make it "invite-only" so to speak? Where you allow it to be sold 20 times over the course of 3 months or so. I was also suggesting BCMD+ to spawn with it so it's more common for them to use it on the battlefield and not have to hassel a Game Helper constantly for it, including respawns. The numbers of who have it is limited and they can easily be held accountable for when abusing it. The testing phase is truly what I'm waiting for since that's what will decide the fate over this Add-On. I'd give one to every BCMD+ and see how it goes from there, start from heavy load then see how it gets better from there when lowering the numbers who have it.

Based on performance, I would suggest to let a few high/active ST get it so if someone is FailRP/Minging, a person can call a ST and show them directly so there's no confusion over what may or may not have happened and ST takes swift action.
