Add Dropship Transit shutter buttons to the MP Kiosk

Post by Gentlefood » 23 May 2017, 23:31

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Title. Sometimes stupid people deploy them and lock other people out of the dropship for no reason or to be idiots. Put a button that toggles them inside the MP kiosk so this situation doesn't occur.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Prevents stupidity

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Minor Mapping

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Minor Mapping

TRANSIT shutters? The ones players have no control over, are COMPLETELY indestructible (besides pred bombs), and which solely exist to prevent the entire dropship's cargo from aspxiating in the inky black of space?

-1

Someone'll either hit it and either open the shutters at the wrong time, killing everyone on the drop, or close them when they're groundside and laugh as Ancient Crusher(1) finally finds something he can't crush.

I'd be fine with it being a mod verb, though.

He fucking means the shutters that are able to raised at the press of a button.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

I am John "Buckshot" Rhodes, the Tactical Snowflake Hunter

He said transit shutters... I also thought he was referring to the round yesterday when the TRANSIT shutters got locked down via a glitch. Was weird.

If talking about transit shutters (Probably not) then -1

BUT IF NOT:
I will stick to neutral, leaned -1 untill you actually add a condition that asks for the dropship--
A) Not to be in transit
B) Not to be off-ship (Almayer-side-only)
C) Revokable by the queen once she takes control of the main console (Not onboard button though).
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.
