Adding such a script to the server is actually allowing spammer people to bypass localchat cooldown. In order to prevent people from spamming localchats especially in crowded areas (ARs, CEs, Protected Areas etc.) following conditions are what I suggest:
  • If number of people in the area is greater than 20, countdowns should be disabled for normal players. Only team leaders (SOs, PCs and CBs), Staff should be able to use that feature in that case.
  • Counting down from 25 means sending 25 localchat messages which is a lot. So maybe counting 5 by 5 untill the number gets closer to 0 enough then counting 1 by 1 could be cool. (25,20,15,10,5,4,3,2,1,GO)

    Example chatbox output:
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 25
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 20
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 15
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 10
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 5
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 4
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 3
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 2
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: 1
    • (LOCAL-CD) Player: GO!

    Instead of displaying 25 lines, this way it is much better in my opinion.

Well, I don't really feel what you want here. This can be spammed non-stop by many players inside CEs or ARs which will confuse many cops/crims and they won't know which countdown to listen to and rush when it's over. So I think it's pretty balanced and fair for PCs and CBs only to have the countdown ability. Since if everyone had it there will be a lot of trollers that won't stop executing the command. And I know that you made a "solution" for this which is adding a limit to the amount of times you use the command but let me tell you that trollers are more than one. It only requires 3 trollers to start a countdown that will confuse and troll everyone nearby.

Will script it to display the countdowns on players heads once I get my internet back

Such a feature is already in the game.
A feature that applies to both Criminals and Cops.
I don't understand why such a plugin is needed when there is such a plugin even in groups. I don't support this idea as I don't like it. Good luck for other thoughts.

With this the commands in AR and CEs can be more usefull and understandable. I think it will also add some entertainment as said. My vote is positive :tick:

Positive.
Why?
Would be useful for street races (for example 1v1) when there are only one player and it would be quite hard to get equal start when one of them is counting.
For others; it would be useful for ARs and CEs to make a rush.

If there's some way to avoid abusing and spamming then yes, it would be great for races and 1vs1 duels between players  :tick:

This will be very useful for street racing, CE's, and any activity that requires a countdown for friends whom aren't group/squad mates.

Then just make it for locf friends and if anyone misused u can remove him from ur cb or whatever, and even making it appear above player's heads it's still annoying.

I agree. It will make alot of things easier, an example u stated is racing, another one is dancing, another one could be for duels (for people who don't want to /duel and want to experience the real dimensions), However there should be a limit for sure. :tick:

- Added '/countdown 1-10' to make a countdown above your head. (Senza)
