Ammo handfuls automatically combine on the floor.

Post by Derpislav » 23 Nov 2016, 11:45

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Separate items create more lag. I'm pretty sure if I wanted to crash the server, all I would need is some shotgun ammo to divide into a fuckton of separate shells and put in motion. Plus it's annoying as all hell to combine handfuls when you unload a weapon.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Obvious.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Shells and revolver ammo automatically combine into full handfuls if dropped on the same tile.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Wave the code-wand at it.

This would cause more lag then it'd fix

Still relevant, as armoury floor (and then disposals) is literally flooded with singular shells every round.

+1 if it does like some other servers and only happens when a player click on a table with his stack so that both stacks (from table tile and the dropped stack) stacks together into a single stack of stackable objects (Stack).
Otherwise, still fine with the idea of dropped items stacking, but that'd be a bit more of a strain.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Or we can make ammo magazines combinable. +1 I guess
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.

No. Just make dropped items call crossed() and check if the crossed thing on the ammo is other ammo and combine it.

ezpz no lag

+1

It's a small change but it would cut down on the insane clutter that exists every round.
