Title: [+++] A small circle or marker around medics in riot/ce/ar areas
Post by: M3dusa on 10 09, 2022, 06:56:11 pm
As you're all probably aware, medics are not visible in CE/AR/Riot areas not to cause disruption and blockage to people participating in CnR activities, but that defies the purpose of a medic since they don't know where to seek heal so they end up running around with us medics chasing them around to do our jobs.

So I'm suggesting some kind of circle or a marker that's pegged to the medic's healing area radius so people from both sides know where to seek help.

For illustrative purposes only, excuse my awesome paint editing skills

EDIT: Maybe make it only visible for the team the medic has chosen to allow healing for from /settings
ie: Not to cause confusion, if I as a medic only enabled healing for cops, criminals shouldn't be able to see my healing area, as it wont work for them anyways.

Great addition and help for both of the teams. :tick:

It would be a good contribution for riots and more CnR activities.  :tick:

we used to have that back in the old days so adding it back won't affect anyone but will make it easier for players to recognize the medics. Positive

This is a very good suggestion as it will make medic's job way easier and also for us. :tick:

This will let us know where are they so we can stand near to them to heal, as the ghost mode is already activated for Civilians to avoid blocking. Positive.

I find this simple yet useful and easy to implement, would really be helpful to see the healing area instead of running randomly trying to find the healing area.

Positive. :tick:

We do have already a red-cross in CEs for Medics. Do you mean replacing it with a ground circle so Medic stands in one position without moving to let the players who need to get healed go to that spot, and adding it at riots and ARs as well? If that's the essence, then I'm certainly in favor of this due to the fact that we're chasing that cross to get healed which is risky too, we might get defeated while we focus on getting healed rather than fighting.
Didn't know red cross is a thing in CEs, it can also be like that outside, or we could have the circle if the the cross blocks the view.

A very excellent idea, it makes the work easy for the medic, like this he avoids ''running after the low hp".
For cop/crim shows them the right place where they must stand to get health.
Voting positive  :tick:

Nope, it doesn’t block the view because the cross’ is sort of not seen and kind of invisible. But yeah the on-floor marker you’re suggesting is indeed better, we can know if we are inside it and can be healed or not.

Positive.

It will be a great addition to see the medics' area to heal, that's not blocking the view the marker on the floor is better than the red cross.

I think this addition is way better for people who are in different CnR activities so im giving that a big positivo :tick:

"...they don't know where to seek heal so they end up running around with us medics chasing them..."

Big true  :tick:

There is no harm in buffing this activity because the money comes from other players rather than generating new cash into the economy.

I'm surely positive, also we could add the red cross instead, just like CEs.

That would be extremely useful. I always thought that the red cross was too small and a bit too transparent to be properly visible amid the fighting. This wouldn't just be great for players wanting to get healed, but also for medics wanting to do more in these events. As someone that enjoys playing as a medic, this would definitely get everyone else's attention to myself, which would result in us medics getting more heals and money. Hopefully making the medic job a bit more popular.

Another thing I just thought of, what about Criminal/Police medics? I know they're not invisible, but I think it would be great to show a marker around them, a marker that would only be visible for their team. Or else we would have the other team easily targeting Criminal/Police medics because they are easily visible due to the marker. Either way, my vote is positive, the medic job does require little improvements like this to make the job as good as it was back in the day.

It would be useful of course, because sometimes we can not find medic in the CE. Making it more visible would be good enough.  :tick:

Very useful as I play as medic a lot and it annoys me to follow players around to heal them  :tick:

- In places where medics are invisible (CE, AR, riot) a medic icon will show their location for healing. (Arran + Medusa)
