Title: [Riddy] Adding Ping location Feature for CBs/PCs.
Post by: T0Y-B0Y on 01 07, 2022, 08:16:55 pm: Greetings community, I am here suggesting adding a new Feature for Criminal bosses and Police Chiefs where they can ping a location for their Team.
lately, I have been playing some Shooting games where we can ping locations for our Team so I was thinking why not adding the ability to ping locations ingame as a feature for Criminal bosses and Police chiefs, sometimes when we are hosting Riots, etc sometimes we want to ping a location for Criminals where they can rush or if someone is hiding at any location.
FAQ:
Q: How will it look?

here is a video of how will it work https://streamable.com/ytfxer
Q: How can CB/PC ping that location?
A: they have to write /cping
Q: why not add this feature for everyone?
A: No because people will abuse it by trolling each other
if there are any other concerns about the suggestion feel free to ask
edit: about that (`) key we might change it.

I will be neutral.

@Carter Its not even related to the ''Ping'' which's in-game, the one that shows your internet connection. He meant a mark when he aims at a place and click on the ''`'' it to show us where to go, as shown in the picture, the yellow explanation mark sign. Same as shooting games the one which shows the enemy location when one of the team sees him/her.

this would help us in Riots etc sometimes you don't have time to write in team chat etc because Cops rushing so just ping the location and the rush sound would help, tbh I don't think that this will be useless.

Post by: Mazenolla on 02 07, 2022, 12:10:33 am: This suggestion is really nice and will be very useful because I use it a lot myself in other shooter games as it saves a lot of time of typing. I think it will bring the CBs/PCs a much more comfortable way of communicating during a fight in CEs especially.

Positive.

Well, I got the point that it will be more faster. I like the idea in general, but if you can just edit the bind to be a command like /cbping and /pcping and each and every CB and PC can use ''/bind <key> cb/pcping'' it will be much better because some people couldn't click on this ''`'' fast, and they will be free to make it on an easier bind. Supporting.

at first, I was going to make it /cbping but I think pressing on the key is way faster.

Post by: Timbery on 02 07, 2022, 08:51:26 pm: This would be definitely useful whenever it comes to dynamic tactical strategies on the field, regardless of which side you are leading. The leaders of each team will be able to alert their teammates whenever there is an urgent situation/possible threat that is not the object of using the local or team chat. It would also have benefits for both teams and would make the job of each side's leaders much easier and more efficient. It will at some points increase the teamwork ratio and help the non-English speakers to adapt to certain situations that would, later on, assist the entire team.

The only thing, I disagree with is, that there should rather be a command that may be bound to any key. For example /pcping or /cbping, so later on you can bind that command to a specific key through the "/bind >key< >command<".
Title: Re: Adding Ping location Feature for CBs/PCs.
Post by: Sleuth on 02 07, 2022, 11:45:48 pm: Very much agreeing with this. I personally lead law units everyday, in Armed Robberies and Criminal Events, 50% of the time, I refer to active physical coordination, because as you know, sometimes you just have to take the shot and grasp the opportunity to win. coordinating in team chat/local chat might take few seconds, and take the victory along with it, which has happened to many people before.
I've even did it once that I scared off the opposing team in a Criminal Event, without saying anything, I just initiated physical movement in a certain pattern that delivered a sense of threat in the other team's eyes, my movement was very prominent in front of other cops' eyes, including a Police Chief as well. that's what makes me believe that others are willing to take that action as well, they just need a compass to guide them through the action, which is what you are suggesting. looking forward to see a lot of action inside CEs with this feature encouraging more close engagement.

It will be /cping and cbs/pcs can bind them as they like

Post by: TomHartS2 on 03 07, 2022, 01:36:59 pm: This is better than lawblip to be honest, it calls more of your attention, and more people will respond to the riot place. Good idea, positive :tick:
Title: Re: Adding Ping location Feature for CBs/PCs.
Post by: Soul on 03 07, 2022, 02:02:22 pm: this idea I always wanted to share it's just way too useful and will give a lot of information but I think you should use a circle zone a specific range which people are able to see this, in another meaning if I am in LS Carshop near the CE, I don't want to see these cution pings. but regardless this idea is pretty much amazing, I will go with Positive

Title: Re: Adding Ping location Feature for CBs/PCs.
Post by: Skyscrap on 03 07, 2022, 04:21:32 pm: I definitely support this idea, this will help gathering the team real quick besides the law blip as it will be visible for all police officers on duty not only in the mini map, I would be glad to see this suggestion added ingame and adding an option were we can bind this ping too.

Positive :tick:

Nah that's a ping that will appear on screen for some secs and then disappear, btw riddy is working on it he will post a pre-submission tomorrow.

Title: Re: Adding Ping location Feature for CBs/PCs.
Post by: SqueX on 03 07, 2022, 11:28:23 pm: As in some War games why not for CIT? so If you have seen someone from the opposite side, you can indicate their place as a Boss / Chief with this suggestion, it is your most natural right, after all, you lead as a Boss / Chief. If this would be easy to script, my vote is positive.

Post by: Mask on 04 07, 2022, 01:15:03 am: It takes time to write the locations where you are going to direct the criminals or police, so this will be faster and more efficient. positive :tick:
Title: Re: Adding Ping location Feature for CBs/PCs.
Post by: Stolenn on 04 07, 2022, 01:58:54 pm: As a Criminal Boss, I can clearly say that such a feature is needed. Sometimes, we have to make sudden changes in riots and direct the criminals to a place. Adding something like this will be good for us in those moments. While there is such a feature for groups, alliances, squads, why not for teams? Positive.

This Feature is lot helpful and I give it Positive :tick:
But ! :
- it will be better if only Higher Ranks like ( Chief - Boss - Groups Leaders ) < can use it to avoid anyone try to sabotage by Trolling or spam with it .
- or Only players are more than 500Hours or 35-40 levels can use it
- and make who get Mute be unable to use this feature
- and make it blip for 10-15 sec and you can use it again after 30 sec ( just some ideas )
will be outraged if we let normal players use this feature, maybe we can allow it to group leaders since it will be displayed to their members only. about the blip, it will be displayed until the PC/CB cancels it.

Post by: Atheer on 07 07, 2022, 09:26:48 am: This is awesome, I took a while understanding that, it's just like the ping feature in CSGO or something, looks good anyway.. I find it useful in certain situations like the ones you mentioned. Going positive, of course.

Post by: Traxex on 07 07, 2022, 11:00:41 am: This would be a great addition of tools for CBs and PCs. Instead of typing where should the criminals or cops go, this command will help CBs and PCs to do it in easier way and easier for criminals or cops to notice the logo. Positive.

Post by: Dokt0R on 09 07, 2022, 03:40:36 am: Definitely a positive. But add this to groups too please as the /mgd is right now

Post by: PoTaToS on 10 07, 2022, 10:09:51 pm: This is a great addition, not only it will help CBs and PCs it will also help the players to recognize the places faster, its useful and helpful and it should have been added to the game from a long time ago, My vote is Positive

Post by: Dragon on 17 07, 2022, 10:41:52 am: I find this a very helpful feature and I hope to see it ingame as it's going to help organizing tactics inside CEs and ARs, My vote is definitely Positive. :tick:
