Phone Conversations

[Law]

Short description: Allow players to choose what the other person can hear on the line.

Detailed description: At the moment, when you're on the phone, anything you say normally will be heard by the person on the other end of the line, even if you're trying to talk to someone next to you. Instead of this, either implement a "On hold" feature or communicate on the phone using /p

Commands to add: /p or /phold

Items to add: N/A

How would your suggestion improve the server?: Convenience suggestion so it'll make communicating a bit simpler and realistic because if you want to cover the phone up and say something to your friend, the other person won't have to hear it.

Additionnal information: N/A

I like the idea. The use of /p seems the most logical conclusion to this problem. The one thing i would say is that this isnt top priority but surely something to consider down the line.

We already have a command that does something similar to this. You can use /t to talk to people around you without the person on the phone hearing, by default your dialogue is sent through the phone but if you use /t you can speak to people around you without the caller hearing you. Adding /p would make /t redundant. A command to put someone on hold would be nice though

I agree with the command to put a phone conversation on hold but there's already a command to cover up the phone call and speak to someone next to you.

Perhaps making /t redundant by replacing it with /p would be for the better so you don't accidentally say something on the phone by forgetting to type /t, however, thanks for making me aware of this command.

I hope that hold option will be come with the CEF phone

We have /t ingame to speak off of the phone during a call, and the phone system is currently being looked at for revamp.
