SirQubed Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hello to all that reads this. I was watching YouTube the other day and came across a video that has an interesting command. In the recent weeks the server has been experiencing more and more hostage situations. While this does make for some fun RP opportunities the way of doing the RP is lack luster to say the least. /me would take his arm placing it around the persons neck aiming a gun at them. /me would allow it or /me would fight the attacker off.... then you just stand there with the other person at gun point. After that any time you want to move or look around you have to keep the RP like /me would continue to aim the gun at the person's head... I think a simple way to enhance the RP would be to include a command followed by an animation. Now I say simple but I don't know what really goes into adding new commands and animations but I figured it was worth a shot bringing it here and letting the community give it's thoughts on the subject. The command could be /th or /takehostage... either way you would 1. Have to have a pistol equipped as it wouldn't make since to take someone hostage while holding an AK or Shotgun. 2. the other player would have to have their hands up and be with in a VERY close proximity of the other player using the command. 3. the player being taken hostage would have to answer with /hostageaccept ID kind of like how we do with /frisk. Obviously the RP would still have to be done with /me and all of that to avoid PGing. This is simply to include more visual effects and make the RP situation more fun allowing the hostage taker to walk with the player they have hostage as appose to telling them where to go. If any Admins would like me to link them the video please feel free to reach out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoface173 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 +/- I can see how this could be a useful command but it could also be abused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirQubed Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 As can most commands but thats why we have a report system and an admin team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaesarSeizure Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 +1 Simply for convenience. While sniping, you are 90% of the time outside of /me range, so you dont know if the person has RPed anything regarding holding the hostage or not. Additionally, make it so the command basically drops turn rate and movement speed while you have a hostage to balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Once as the actual negotiator. And multiple tacs with it and I know the frustrations of the constant using a friend for hostage situations trust me I get just as annoyed as the next but thats a different post for a different topic which I 100% agree needs to be addressed and its borderline NON RP at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
