I was just thinking about how often I still see people sitting in the VF trying to make tanks when it is restricted. And how often I don't know if it has been or not. As such, I'd like to propose a solution to this previously unknown problem: Doors Yup, just doors blocking off people from entering the VF. A clear and obvious sign that you can't build tanks. If this sort of model minipulation isn't possible, then maybe change the build tank floaty screen?
Even better if those doors don't open from the inside. "All newbies, report to the VF immediately. Repeat, all newbies report to the VF immediately."
lolz @ Demented... that is demented man. Ya tho I think we do need some kind of sign that the VF is locked.
This was already suggested before, but I don't think that already one developer has implemented a solution for this. Doors could be one solution. Or I think more easy to do, would be to change the icon on the minimap or add an overhead icon to the vf or show it on the hud, where you can see the number of vehicles.
Make it so you can get out, and can't get in, and doors as a visual indication that the VF is closed(including a red light). This way people WON'T get stuck in the VF, begging the comm to unlock the VF. Other then that... I LIKE
I don't see why it can't tell you right after you push v rather then when you're finished customizing your vehicle.
hey I want VF doors so the door that the tanks would role out of would be closed. That way if the com thinks the enemy are going to try to jam something in the VF he can lock it. BONUS: The com can help protect himself from ninjas by locking himself in the VF. This is made of win.
What if enemy gets to the VF and sabotages it or deconstructs? We won't be able to enter vf untill the comm will unrestrict the VF, so if You want to buy a tank, turn on Your mic and say "comm! scout in vf, open the door!" and You can have Your tank. Ha ha. Oh wait I have an idea. How about a text message, just like the one saying that You have gained a skill point for something, but saying that the VF was restricted or unrestricted? Whenever comm switches this option, the team is spammed with this message. That way everyone knows what's going on.
how about a hologrpahic sign in the vf, both hanger area and build are that is only visible to the corresponding team, again a model remodel job, dunno just an idea
Not a remodel, you could make it a separate model easily and just spawn it in, it'd probably be more efficient too than having two huge VF models just for the sign.
