Content Suggestion Hotmic option for chat

[Silverback]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adds an option and/or toggle to activate hotmic over /c comms for any messages sent in chat.

This toggle should also be customizable akin to that of the panic button customization, allowing the user to chose which forms of comms (eg; /gsd, /rsd etc…)

This toggle should also be bindable and unbindable.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
As far as I am aware no other suggestions have been made on this topic.


Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Ease of RP and communication.
This suggestion will make it easier for combatants to communicate while on the move and during intense situations, this’ll also server to allow players without microphones to communicate quicker to teammates.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Potentially annoying to code & implement

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
It’s a QoL addition that everyone benefits from

Is this meant to be a Text to speech? What do you mean by hot mic?

Hey @Silverback

Could you go into a little bit more detail about how this system would work please?

 

[Silverback]

No not text to speech, what I meant is that while the toggle is active every message sent in chat would automatically be sent into /c comms or whatever comms line you’ve configured it to

I apologize for the confusion, reading it through again I get the misunderstanding, I used the term hotmic to refer a rp term, in character while active everyone on the comms line would theoretically be able to hear everything you were saying. However this doesn’t actually correlate to the gameplay perspective, as it would simply automatically put your ingame chat messages into the respective comms lines
