Add ComLink

[Piff]

Name: Piff

RP Rank: SGM

Suggestion: Get a Comlink that can be used to communicate with other battalions in a combat situation or for any need of distanced communications between people who aren't in the same TS Channel  (Basicallly add a Radio or have a custom made Comlink that works like a radio)

Implementation: So i haven't seen any comink addon on the GMod store or the workshop, this means it would have to be made, i would be glad to pay someone to make one because i personally think this would be useful to use and also something unique to us that we have and others don't. Also, if the update with nametags and jobs are going to disappear happens, this could also furthermore prevent metagaming by making communications between people a lot more secure.

Lore: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Comlink

Workshop content if applicable:
I'll look if this is accepted or if Maxwell can make one, i'll be down to pay for him to do it.
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

Yeah, but custom. Cause theres Radios in the workshop, which i mean if that gets added instead, thats fine, but a custom addon with a comlink model on our wrist would be nice

+1 I'd be down however I'm pretty sure there's plenty of viable radio addons already on the workshop.

This could also solve the whole TS OOC/IC problem where TS could be fully considered OOC and the radio in game would be IC. Just a thought.

I was skeptical from the title, but having this would actually be really good. Having something that when hooked up to a proper frequency, you could communicate through voice from long range to outgoing patrols. This would help with people stopping and typing for 30 seconds or so and dying to enemies. Naval could use it to communicate with outgoing units across the map, sort of how the intercom works, but only for people on one frequency, and only if they have the comlink out. Big +1

+1 I like how we just came up with these Idea after a training. If need talked about having a Discord Call were High Command/GM can give Orders and Comms men from SNCO to Junior Officer to be in direct Comms with them and Relay every order to their Battalion. These way no events will be ruined by lack of Comms between each other. I have an idea for a training already. Need to talk with the Other BCMDs and RCMDs about adding this.

+1 Seems like a good idea and can benefit everyone

A long time ago, there was a /radio and /channel command that nobody cared to use but me and 41st sometimes for like a week. That was restricted to chat and had lots of issues.

 

this would be epic tho, especially if it was voice

+1 find an addon

+1 I have experience using the radio before which I assume is what your asking but with a different model. I think it improves immersion and it’s a lot of fun. Although the only issue I can see are people who have other comms in RP but I don’t know how most of the radio type addons work.

IIRC it’s another button for voice chat, and you set it to a frequency so anybody on that frequency hears your voice chat. 
 

didnt military rp have something like this? @Pythin

Yes we did have something like that. I don’t remember what the addon is called, but I can confirm we did have something like that

I checked. The radio plugin we used for voice and text chat on the Military server is no longer supported by the original creator. Updates/Support no longer function, and comments on the Gmod Store Addon page show that it is no longer working properly, so that's not an option.

 

+1 to the idea if able to be created. Would be nice.

[Guac]

+1 sounds cool!

[Cubby]

I remember the /channel command lmao, but yea this thing sounds cool +1

[Willyworm1]

Hell yes, i want an ATC/BCC frequency so i don't have to see endless flight requests and PTLS, plus we could make one fulcrum for anakin +1

This actually sounds pretty dope

[Kirito]

To my knowledge there is an addon on the workshop, that allows for video chats with players across the map, and even multiple players. It would allow for people to communicate with players more easily and for calling DBs, along with Predeployment DBs.

[Rezz]

+1 would make events more immersive 

[Merrill]

+1

The idea of tuning to the frequency of a patrol as Naval to get updates sounds amazing, or BH, sneaking around to try and mess with troopers on their frequencies. It would be an amazing step into immersion for all sorts of events

[Hanz]

If its possible +1

[Misfit]

+1 i found a addon that just might work with a little tweaking

Not going to lie we'll probably just make our own.
