Player Whereabouts

Bani--
Would it be possible for a voice chat that says "Left" or "Right" or "Center" for us Trenchtoast Goldrush players? It sucks carrying a lot of gold, screaming for backup and having all the morons asking "Where to?" without looking at their HUD to see your exclamation point. It could also let teammates know where the Goldrushes are quicker.
Stopping to type often gets you killed.
Just a thought.

Or howabout the optional flashing arrow? Maybe to balance things you could make it a seperate command, maybe with the sound pack and it could be seen by both teams (the arrow). Like type in /needhelp and it would say something like "help, I have # gold" and the arrow would pop up.

Don't forget flood control if you do that.

in the mean time:
bind KEY1 "say_team Left;wait 100;vsay_team move!"
bind KEY2 "say_team Center;wait 100;vsay_team move!"
bind KEY3 "say_team Right;wait 100;vsay_team move!"

you may have to tweek the wait time based on your frame rate and of course KEY1-3 are replaced by what ever key you want to use.
You could also change which vsay you want to use too (maybe NeedBackup)

I frequently use the needbackup whenever I start to get loaded down.
