commander settable "primary goals"

basically, these would be very big fonted predefined strings of text/images/whatever that appear somewhere clear and obvious in sight on the teammembers hud, displaying the "primary" objective the commander wants his team to do

these can range from

"Defend the commander"
"Claim enemy territory"
"Capture refineries"
"Read the f*cking chat"

etc

the commander can change these lets say once every 5 mins (picks one from the list) and there is no effect on anything BUT that all people in your team get what the commander picked

why?
so commanders dont have to spam the voicechannel, and the commander has a good "soft guildance" for his team

 

I would be good with an objectives text box with some like 64 char limit or w/e that comms that use it can just change the objective whenever it's needed. Maybe when the comm submits it it can flash once or something. It would be just like a chat box with only enough room for a sentence.

 

Yeah this was kicked about the same time the new gui concept was out (now old, lol). Still a good idea.

 

this will be hilariously abused, but also completely useful, especially for noobs

 

Maybe we can use something like sm_tsay.

Emp_Recruit has chosen engineer
Emp_Recruit spawns at forward rax.

Primary Goal: GO SUCK DICKS FAGGOT

Emp_Recruit has disconnected from the server

 

There should be like a set of stock objective icons, with the commander inputing custom text.
