Suggestion - custom votes...

Post by daytroxative »

ok would it be possible to make a command to create custom votes?... i'd want something to work like a normal vote but the vote to tag along side with the text you specify..... the maker of the vote should also get the results.... and choose the action if any for the vote to do....

so just say i wanted to ask everyone to vote for low gravity or high speed... or far pushing stuff like that...

is it worked simple like this it could be useful....

Code: Select all

/makevote Do you want low gravity?
if it was added as a command that only admins could use for et pro they can give important people the makevote command like on my server.. i'd give makevote to people who have access to gravity speed knockback shove etc...... this way they dont have to ask everyone ... they make the vote get the results and act on them... another thing.....

setting how long it takes for votes to be calculated... if you could make this static... so that votes arent calculated until a certain time.... unless everyone has voted... like say 5 seconds... every vote within that 5 seconds counts... and when that 5 seconds are up it calculates and acts on the votes......

I usually do /callvote map Do_you_want_low_gravity?
but thats kindo stupid beacause players see it as
Vote(#): Change map to : do_you_want_low_gravity?
so I realy like this idea ... it could also be better if you can bind an effect to a vote like
/makevote "Do you want low gravity?;cg_gravity 70"
and players will see this as :
Vote (#): Do you want low gravity?(com: cg_gravity 70)

Maybe this would be good for bayonET, but I don't see its value for etpro.

I think, I've better idea than this...
When someone need callvote (kick), than he can type why. like that:

/callvote kick player1 He_have_999_ping

and this will be easier than chatting - He have 999 ping, he's unplaying, he don't play, he is still standing... ;)

About gravity and speed: Try changing g_gravity or g_speed on a server in ET and I'm sure you'll be disappointed :(

Works just fine, what's your point?

I mean, gravity resets after a map_restart, but that's OK.

low grav is fine for me too... only people who complain are the people who cant shoot in the air due to reduced accuracy... also the custom vote thing was my idea to call a custom vote of your own kind... instead of asking people if.... they can answer multiple times making it confusing to know what people want.... if you just did my /makevote blah blah blah..... it would only count 1 vote per person.. and you'd know what people want once the results are in...... also people pay more attention to the vote then you asking them if they want something.... this does not affect gameplay... and i see no reason it couldnt be in et pro...

Custom votes sound like a good thing.
As long as Server administrators can control if it is on or off.
And can block certain settings from being voted on.
