Command for STARTING FIGHTS! (No more missclicks!)

[Kappaurel]

Detailed Description: Hello! The idea of this suggestion is really easy, I don't know how easy it'd be to implement but I trust the skill of our developers.

 

For melee damage to be effective, at least when it comes to punches, players would have to type in a command. It could be formatted as a "request" (same as /rob or /requestcarry).

 

EXAMPLE:

Spoiler

Two players get heated, they want to start a fight,

 

Jane Doe: /me starts throwing hands.

Jane Doe: /fightrequest John Doe

 

John Doe: /me fights back

John Doe: /fightaccept

 

And the click spam begins.

 

The concept is really easy. For a discussion on the pros and cons, we'll move to the last section of this suggestion.

 

Relevant commands: /fightrequest, /fightaccept

 

 

How will it benefit the server?

 

1. NO MORE MISSCLICKS. You may hit your mouse click, and punch someone... BUT NO DAMAGE WILL BE INFLICTED 😄

 

2. ROLEPLAY BEFORE FIGHTS. You will not any longer fear typing a decent, long /me due to fear of starting being punched, being caught off guard while you write. This will improve the roleplay quality of the server, adding a previous step before the massive spam of click begins.

 

Now, I am aware, this has, like many other features that have been implemented either way, a possibility to be abused. Yes, players can simply refuse to accept, and force themselves out of a fight. If that happens, it can be reported, but IT HAS BEEN SAID MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE CHANCE FOR A FEATURE TO BE ABUSED, DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T BE IMPLEMENTED! 😄

 

---

 

Now, if this happens to be a super concerning issue for GTAW Staff, there is an alternative in how this suggestion may be implemented. 

 

Instead of formatting like a request, it could be simply /fight John Doe, John Doe would get a notification and a timer of five seconds before the melee damage is enabled.

 

What do you guys think? I think it'd be great, and we'd end with the massive problem of missclicks.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the community hates this suggestion because of course they will 

 

but it’s a good idea

I mean it could work sure but how about we focus on the 9000 other problems this server and community has before giving them new scripts to toy around with. I personally do not care if we get this or keep the current script, not that serious to me but yeah

then how are you gonna like ambush or bumrush people outta nowhere??

 

-1 the system has more cons than pros.

[kuchera]

i would simply deny the fight suggestion and shoot

[vPaperMario]

-1 sending fights to multiple people for a group brawl. What about shootouts? People got to /gunfight John Doe?

[sCrax]

It doesn't make much sense with the current community mindset. People will just take the advantage of the 5 second timer to pull out a gun/melee weapon and the whole point of having a moment of surprise is gone.

I am simply too strong to be in a fist fight, I will deny this fist fight as my IC athletics are insane.
