Ask for confirmation when joining as a specific marine role mid-round

Post by sicktrigger » 19 Jul 2017, 06:29

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Pop up a confirmation Y/N box after you choose a role to join as (ie Squad Medic, Squad Leader, Pilot Officer, etc.)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): stops me from joining as the wrong role and then just immediately cryo'ing because im a big dumb idiot who can't click things right

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): n/a

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): just make it exactly like the confirmation box you get after you select a suitable mob with the Join-As-Xeno verb
So this is what cluwning feels like?

Yeah I've misclicked before, joined as MP when I wanted to be a squad engineer. Those two are kinda opposite roles really so a confirmation prompt with the name of the role you're selecting would be great.

How can you click the wrong thing again and again if you're paying attention, do you just kind of throw your mouse on the ground and it clicks the job for you?

Denied.

Be more careful when clicking.
