SPEED CONTROLL (for every char!)

[Miki800]

think about it , why not?

for example I played once with Mystic Krillin
and he was too fast for me to do the combos...

so thats when I thought of this suggestion
its only logic that if I can swoop really fast, I can swoop just as well slow!

so what I am suggesting is to create another interface for
controlling my current speed, in the char select menu it says MAX SPEED
right?
so if there is a MAX its only logic that there should be lower then the max...

how to do it?
VIA CODING! like this:

1) hold a key and then click a number - 1-9
each number will change my current speed to X % of my max speed
2) some has that thing on the joystick where you can move it like
controlling the speed in an airplane... it could also be used to modify speed!

for runaways I could press 9 (or maybe this should be limited to 0 then to 9!)
and swoop away with my max speed!
I cant think of much more right now...
...


tell me what you think and mods, tell me if the team appreciate
my suggestion and if they will add it t the next release of ESF!

 

[Evgenij]

now that's orginal idea (at least i haven't seen it was sugested before)
I don't think that there should be so many butons to control speed (1...9)
3 Buttons are enough - 30% , 65%, 100%.

 

[Miki800]

yeah sure... it could also be that way
but I noticed that I ran out of free bottons...
so we need to do some cuts!

this function will open a menu... like the HLAMP\BOTS meny function
(bot not the same function so there will be no overwrites, but a similar function)
onkey(X)down - the function will run and the speed could be modified
onkey(X)up - the function will close itself and the speed menu will disappear
(EDIT: X=any key that you will choose!)


of course other original ways to code it could be done by the team!
I mean I dont know much about the coding possibilitied in HL but I do know coding
and I trust the team to use this suggestion well!
(also I just can imagine why they wont love it!)

bad idea

i doubt more than a handful of ppl are actually unhappy with the fact that krillen is so fast when he transforms...this idea would pretty much be a waste of time as it would include something that very few, if any, people would use, and it includes more buttons, i mean come on dude, there are already a buttload of buttons, we dont need more

 

[Miki800]

so thats why I said press only 1 botton and holding it will change what pressing 1-9 does
I mean it wont change weapons, it will change speed
and unholding that botton will make 1-9 again changing weapons...

I mean I cant really do the missile following I once used to be able to do with any char!
its too fast!
but I like it and I want to be able to controll it!!!
maybe just a small addon or something??? PLEEEAAASEE?????

But why is this needed? I can't think of a single point in the game where I would want to not be going at full speed. It would be a useless addition that no one would use.

 

[Son Asid]

well it sounds like a fun thing... but not very usefull... the only thing i could use it to is to when i am at a lan party with my friends really play by the game where i can "hide" my fully speed...

Me: (HAHAHA THATS NOT MY FULL SPEED! NOW I SHOW U IT!!! (100% speed)
Friend: WOW U ARE FAST!

funny thing... but as i said... not very usefull... does anyone know somekinda addon where u can "hide" ur KI from the other players? something like the speed idea...
i could use that for the lan partyes me and my friends try to live us into the movies quite fun will be cool in 1.2 to make the melee... AWESOME!!!

Like hash said I don't see any use of it, but if you want to go slower press shift or the use button. The use button is a small bug, I think you even can swoop slower with it

 

[Nretep]

if Krillin is too fast for you, take another char

that's the point of choosing a class ... take the char which best fits to you

in DBZ they didn't decrease their speed in a real fight ...

 

[psychodn]

You don't have to swoop to melee, just fly w/ turbo on, with mystic krillen that is just a little bit slower than most character's swoops - easy, huh?

 

[Sonic the Vampire]

Well now, you're all thinking about it from the standpoint that max speed will be equal to 100% speed. What about overdrive? Say we set the current max speeds to 70% of total potential speed. Be increasing the speed we... well we increase the speed, at the cost of additional ki. Do it in the middle of a swoop to catch someone just out of reach but blow your ki if you miss. You can get more creative with it. This way people who want to play fast and hazardly can, but they'll have to charge a lot more often, and people who don't can leave it at default or tweak it just a little bit in their favor. Look at the options.

 

[Armorhead]

Cool Idea Sonic I like the way u put it

 

[Grega]

well how this about 2 speads fast and slow dubble tap for the slower one one and tripple tap for faster one
it's easyer to code and use + it dosen't have anoying menus that pop up

 

[Miki800]

about the current ver. ...
again how can I swoop slower?
so you say pressing some keys can make even the swoop slower???
maybe then I could do a binding or something.. in this ver for myself that
I can do 3 mods of the max speed... maybe...

 

[Nretep]

if you haven't read it yet ...

1. we have double-tap swoop in 6 directions ... makes a lil bit easier
2. every swoop-speed has already been decreased (by half, as I know)

just WAIT for the release

 

[<Man-maN>]

I love it
and think about it more
u can do trics with that
lets say i start to attack some1 with low speed
he thinks that im slow and suddenly i make myslef faster and then he will be soprise!!!

good thinking!!!! good idea
