Color code Law Enforcement dispatch chat notifications

[Demonmit1]

 

• Who is the suggestion for?
  - Law enforcement players

• Why is the suggestion being made?
  - to better organize dispatch chat spam, to help all government faction players to better quickly understand dispatch with it being color coded for easier understanding.

• What are the pros and/or cons of the suggestion?
  -pros: more organized response from the different LEO factions to their own calls
  -cons: dev work?

• How should the suggestion be implemented?
  - apply some logic to the dispatch chat system to have SD/PD/DOC/EMS/GSB dispatch calls color coded

 

so, this is a pretty simple suggestion, make the dispatch chat for LEO's color coded based on what faction the player is currently clocked in as.
for example:

I'd like the idea. if this is just for packup/panic calls, this would help a lot, but it could be difficult to implement onto regular 911 calls without scriptly implementing the PD and SD IC jurisdictions they folow. This would also need to have color coded MD calls, in the instance somebody calls for both when they're injured.

MD calls are already yellow for the map blip, this was more just for backups, backup response, and unit changes.

scripted 911 calls could do with a minor change, making ATM calls and similar calls say what region, like hawick, chaparal, etc its coming from, rather than being color coded. but that would be a different suggestion i think.

MD calls are red. It's only yellow if it's Law/Med.

 

That said, I do agree, and +1 the ide, that differentiating backup/panic calls are nice. The panics currently look better with the red and white asterisks, That said, I don't think magenta/purple is ideal for medical

oh yeah, color can be whatever, was just an example, and i coudnt think of a color different than red for MD, since panics are already red, lol
