Spected Players Get Text Note When Anyone Dies

Post by Steelpoint » 11 Jul 2017, 12:29

Summary: Akin to /tg/station anyone who is spectating will get a text note whenever anyone, human or xeno, dies and the ability to click to teleport to that players location, or former location. The line itself is no bigger or smaller than any other text line.

Benefits: Help spectated players keep track of where the action is when they can quickly jump to areas someone just died.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

I think this would be pretty neat to have in and would certainly be a nice QoL.

I like it, but a minor problem where people would be getting revived via defibrillators and die off again (due to novice medics) spamming the chat every now and then.

If it can have like maybe a few minute cool down for each person so chat doesn't get spammed by a marine dying on defib over and over again that would solve things. Also a toggle so people can just disable it if they don't like it.

+1 from me no matter what. I love the idea.

+1 Sure why not, if you worry for chat spam just add a pref to turn it on/off.
