New tooltip

[PETERPANs]

I am occasionally victim of of grenade suicides near or inside of spawn points. There is one major reason for this - repick of free class. They also kill someone near them too, sometimes.

WHAT ABOUT ADDING TOOLTIP TO INFORM THEM HOW TO USE CONSOLE COMMAND INSTEAD OF ...?

Could you explain better?

A tooltip is like...

when I'm playing an RTS and highlight an icon, a little bubble pops up with an explanation of the icon's function. E.g. "Attack. Press A to hotkey function. Click target and unit will attack it."

So he's saying that there should be some kind of notification that there is a /suicide function in the console commands.

It would probably be best relegated to loading screen tips in an FPS, though.

both methods waste reinforcements and I frown upon them. but at least suicide does not blow up everyone in spawn...

Thanks, now I understand. Yeah, it's a nice idea.

Or there could be a suicide button in the (spawn) menue.
Easier and there would be no need to explain what the console is and how to use it.

 

[C_Gibby]

I'd suicide by causing some kind of diversion or something that gets me killed, but benefits the other players. Like using myself to point out the location of a sniper or something.

 

[PETERPANs]

It would be:

If player is dead by own grenade 20 metres around spawn, than display massage box with ok button. Text would be: Press ` to open console and write "Suicide", than press enter, if you want to respawn.

Yep typing ''suicide'' is the safest way of changing classes on the go.
Instead of nading your self

A tool tip is a great idea.
Would avoid a lot of accidental team killing grenades.

How bout just give anyone still in spawn insta class switch, with respawn time still on. So u basically suicide but without having to type or click anything. Just by changing classes in the class screen.

 

[jalex3]

With this I foresee everyone checking constantly to swap class. I kinda think the way it is now is better.
Then again I only take something other than riflemen when it not being used is losing the game.

i think the suicide command should be fully animated.. pistol to the head
or taking the sharp end of the bayonnet to the gut like a samurai who has dishonored his clan

This way, Suicide also has a unique and humorous tactical function in pubs.

"They're surrounding langer!!!"
*shoots self in head out of fear of being captured*

+ having the option to do so at the end of the match when you have lost would be cool too
