Gregis 262 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Hey everybody, so since I’ve joined the dev team I have been committed to one project that has driven me to insanity and back, and I feel like a good respite from it would be to work on something else. so I’ve been working on an addon that makes a droid enitity, that runs around and players can click on to heal themselves. now yes. This is really simple, but that’s why I’ve come here. We have a extremely strong community with a lot of players who have a strong understanding of the game mode and the needs of the server. I have created this thread to get your feedback on ideas and features I can implement, in order to make the best final product possible. The current ideas I’ve thought of is adding a feature where you can make the droid follow you and adding a feature were the droid can only heal certain amounts over time. all input is highly valued. I would really like to see this become a fun little community project cheers Greygoose Edited August 21, 2019 by Gregis 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Vanilla 427 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 What model is the droid going to be? Maybe make it possible to change the models? Link to post Share on other sites

Veles 96 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 This sounds really cool, i think like you should make a menu were you can call for it to come to you or were you can see a real time map of were it is Link to post Share on other sites
Splonter 571 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Would be a cool idea, To prevent is completely taking the jobs away from medics maybe make it so it costs credits to heal yourself? Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgeBloon 73 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Awesome Idea sounds nifty, maybe it can come out as public when there are no Medics on/low numbers, that said medics always have to heal broken legs and the diseases, so having a droid along a single medic can help them out.

This is what I was going to say But place the healing droids at locations where people break their legs often (main elevator and MH1) that would be awesome Link to post Share on other sites
Kamelieon 571 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Wow, nice idea. Make it cost credits! Link to post Share on other sites
Bailey 3,412 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Gotta make sure its a droid with wheels to it looks ok when it slides along the floor. Link to post Share on other sites
Advisor Rook 323 Posted August 21, 2019 Advisor Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Things the droid should do: Slow down to a stop when its about to run into someone (maybe) Roll along slightly off-centre so it doesnt block the exact middle of the walkways Heal, but not fix broken legs unless you pay credits Make a quiet ambient droidy noise - maybe sporadic beeps Dont set up any menu system for it - you'd have to add a priority system for who it travels to etc Give it a set path around the ship Make it disappear when !eventmode is active to avoid ECs and players healing in combat. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Splonter 571 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Would be cool to have it as a F3 pointshop or F8 quest item as well Link to post Share on other sites

Loving the ideas but I kinda thought these could be utilised in events where’s medics are lacking, they can be made killable and follow a certain person Link to post Share on other sites

It could be good to make it heal on defcon IV and V, and maybe just stick to revives on Lower defcons? Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty easy to set up like a 5 second timer each heal so it doesn’t get abused, plus if there’s a credit cost 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Billybob1061 89 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Don't let them heal ec's and it would help relieve medics of their jobs, maybe make it cost a couple credits per x amount healed. And also maybe let them be purchased from the point shop or earned from the skill point shop Edited August 22, 2019 by Billybob1061 1 Link to post Share on other sites
