[Resolved] Drug Effect Countdown
« on: 03 03, 2012, 06:56:38 pm »
Hello, I'm here to suggest some sort of drug effect countdown, organizing drugs in current use.

Most drugs on CIT have a very subtle effects. I assume that many people share this small problem with me:
  • Not being sure if you have actually taken a drug (after pressing a binded key).
  • Not knowing when your drug effects will ware off.
  • Not knowing if your drug effects have already worn off.
I have come up with a simple solution to this (bottom right):

Let me explain these boxes:
  • Drug name at the top.
  • Small visual representing the specific drug to the left.
  • A bar that shrinks/decreases depending on how much longer your drug will last.
  • A number right below the bar that gives a more accurate reading of the bar (tells how much longer the drug will last, in seconds).
  • A number directly to the right of the bar indicating if you have more of that particular drug waiting to take effect after a drug has been depleted (in the screenshot, 3 additional hits of speed are waiting to take effect after the one currently in effect has worn off).
I figure that the first drug you take will appear directly above your speedometer/health, closest to the bottom. Every drug you take on top of that, will appear above it in the order they were taken (drug that was taken last/has the longest time left is at the top).



Remember, if you like this idea be sure to up vote this post.  ;)

All feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks,

-Mogems.

I like it, cool idea! This may also help people realise that when they use drugs the effects only get longer not stronger if you take more than one.

I like this idea, but it could also
create a drug or a button to cancel the effects of the drug, for example if you give you a god.

Iv'e counted, a hit last 60 seconds, or a minute. But a timer would help at times. +1

a drug or a button that cancels effects of a drug?.... you do realize this is a horrible suggestion... if u take a drug in real life there is no drug or button you take to cancel it... you take the drug so u can have  the effects, pfft! a button to stop drug effects, how bout just don't take a drug?


anyway i like the timer idea, i already have all the times of drugs memorized. Having this should help a lot of us conserve some of our drugs.... +1
