Suggestion: 10 second panic

[Matt_Allen]

First of all, what is 10 second panic?
10 second panic is when all players are summoned to spawn in the last 10 seconds before a zombie is selected. All the players the rush off as fast as they can, creating an exhilarating and energetic twist to the already exciting gameplay of the server.

What I'm suggesting!
A command, be it Op+ or VetOp+ to do this automatically, and accurately of course.

How this could work.
Example:
Matt_Allen used: /panic
10 second panic mode activated! Be on your heels!
20 seconds until zombie is chosen
10 seconds until the panic!
5 seconds until the panic!
Ooglie101: WEE, THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING!
4
3
2
1!
HERE WE GO!
At this time all are summoned to spawn and the panic begins!

This suggestion is open to change and different ideas.

 

[Wink]

It would be nice to have it as a command, but /summon all works just fine too

 

[Vatumok]

Sounds cool Matt! This would be really exciting on some maps
But I do think it should be a VetOp+ command and not Op+ because this should happen rarely because it will get lame if this gets overdone (and especially if it gets released at the start it will be done quite a lot)

 

[Mooglie]

Still. If the command was to be VetOp+, Ops could just summonall.

 

[Later_Gator]

You left out the part where I block the spawn exits.

 

[Jowe]

since it can be done with summon all - it seems that ops should have the ability to have it? I mean it doesn't make much sense otherwise.

 

[Jayfeather]

Sounds like it should be one of those, You are now VETOP.
COMMAND GET.
And with 30? Is it? Ops, it could get really overused, but with Vetops it could stay like Powerpill.

I am completely against this... This will completely ruin hiding people's chances. This will also undoubtedly be overused(even by vetops) even if it is only for the week it was added. When intensik first did it, playing was horrible for me as almost EVERY ROUND I played someone summoned us to spawn. Even with "/vote 10 second panic?" most of the players(the players who actually vote anyways) will choose it because it is mysterious, they want to test themselves, or they just like to see people run like hell around them. If this gets added I will not play for the first few days as it will be used constantly.. Anyways I am done ranting.

To avoid ruining the game for those that hide, perhaps it would better to have it used only on runner maps.

@Summer10 i did not know it was abused that much, i have only seen it done in no-build maps.

 

[Walker1212]

I'm not for this but I'm not against it. It would be a nice feauture if it happend every so often

When I played it was hardly ever used so I think that's a bit over-exaggerative, Besides, Ops can just Teleport everyone to spawn, so what's the difference between that and them having the /panic command? Nothing, So I don't see why it should be VetOp+; You might aswell make Summon VetOp+ aswell if that'd happen.

Summer, You need to argue with both sides, You're just stating every negative you can find - It wont be used constantly as @Damer_Flinn could easily tell the staff not to over-use it or they risk their Positions or something similar, And plenty of times I've seen 10 second panic be Out-voted with "No" and It's canceled. So don't bash it until It's tried out. :)

Well you play with different people I play with and at different times and I stated what I saw.

 

[Vatumok]

I think the command "/summon all" should either be made Controller/Admin+ or completely removed from the game because there simply isn't a good reason to use it. Without summon all the command could actually be VetOp+, the problem if Operators could also use it is not that it will get abused it will be done too much but because there are so many Operators and everyone wants to try it so the 10-seconds-panic will occur too often. Also, I don't think there shouldn't be a voting, to create even more chaos players shouldn't even get a message message and then when there are 10 seconds left until the zombie selection you will get a message: "OH MY GOD, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, YOU ONLY HAVE 10 SECONDS" or something.

 

[Jowe]

Good point @Vatumok - Since we no longer have to /summon all in a water vator now to check for WoM. Summon all has just two uses: 1) To mess around - which really isn't that great. or to add to the game play with the 10 second panic. 10 second panic is a nice gameplay mechanic, it would be nice to phase out /summon all in favor of the 10 second panic.

/edit - I do find it very annoying to be summoned to random location at the end of a map for no reason at all, except to relieve boredom.

 

[Megatron]

I think the command "/summon all" should either be made Controller/Admin+ or completely removed from the game because there simply isn't a good reason to use it.

The problem with that is that summon all is simply a summon which targets everyone. Summon has legitimate uses for ops, so removing it doesn't seem like much of an option.

 

[mariosatr]

Well, we'll have to see what's codeable. Perhaps @LISTINGS09 could code the all part out of the summon command and make it a separate command for VetOp+?

 

[LISTINGS09]

I'm sure I could change this so you can do /summon z or /summon h, though doesn't that kick everyone for anti-hack? There are so many clauses to the AH script that it's a right mess, I'd rather not mess up things further if it'll need added in.

Doesn't summons have a bit of a wait before the actual summon? I thought that prevented kicks.

 

[Matt_Allen]

There is infact a 2 second wait after the command is executed before the player is summoned to the operators position.

 

[Notme]

I like this idea, but it may be to buggy.

 

[LISTINGS09]

Ah right, that's me adding a delay so all the hack flags can be toggled to off for the players. So summon z would be indeed possible.

 

[Amorix]

Win.

 

[fireball0409]

I think its a great idea to add to the game. It would create excitement to the game!

 

[mariosatr]

This is already overused by Ops. I think the /s all should be moved to VetOp at least; if higher, a panic command could be made. It just causes confusion for new players; remember, not everyone on zombie has had experience with the server. Also, from what I know votes can be unreliable; people can vote yes and not know what's coming, while people may not vote at all, or vote yes, and regret it after.
