Automatic alert on bleeding-out PCs

Egon the Monkey · August 01, 2009, 11:06:07 AM

Much like subdual and spar modes throw up *subdued* and *winded* talk messages on PCs, would it be possible to add something like *collapses, bleeding* to a PC that is reduced to negative hitpoints and maybe *grunts in pain* to one Near Death or Badly Wounded? This would allow a reasonable response to help PCs in mortal danger, replacing the party health bars by serving as a very rough indicator. It would also add a bit of reactive effect to the battle, rather than people fighting mostly in silence so they can click items.

Or the players could just emote it themselves.

yep, since they have nothing else to once they're down.

At least quote your source, my friend. RwG should be none too pleased.

There's a voiceset message that already does it automatically for you if you listen carefully ;)

I might make a blood-letting animation to go with bleeding. Making it more aesthetically pleasing and would provide a visual cue.

I am all in favor of GORE.

Yeah, but everyone on EfU uses the non-default voicesets, and there's lots of them that don't have those emotes.

SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR CUSTOMIZING

Nuclear Catastrophe · August 04, 2009, 06:40:26 PM

haha, Porkolts right actually, most voicesets don't seem to have it.
