Allowed keybinds for roleplay purposes.

[Nexxt]

Hey there.

I am not quite sure where I should post this, but I would like to ask for the opinion of people about this subject which is "keybinds".
I understand keybinds are disallowed to avoid spam, but in my opinion it can be handy for roleplay purposes.

Sometimes I roleplay with friends on another server (like once in a week) and there I can use keybinds and create my own based roleplay things such as on my police duty.
Here I can just do:

I am on a police call and someone does not make room:

Code: [Select]

t/m ** You hear sirens and see flashing lights in your mirror**
t/m  Move towards the side of the road and make room!
To put on and off my seatbelt.

Code: [Select]

t/me takes his seatbelt and takes it off
Or when you are on foot:

Code: [Select]

t/s This is the Dillimore Police! Freeze and put your hands in the air RIGHT NOW!
I hope in the future this will be allowed as it's really usefull and would make me happy that I can use it!

No. Go to the other server.

Role-play is supposed to be creative interaction, not repeating same lines of text n times.

Doesn't this belong in SA:MP Ideas?    :roll:

I dont see whats wrong with allowing keybinds, doesn't really give an advantage.. even if it does its a very very small advantage..

[TheRock]

I like it as an idea, however I can't really say that I support this.
Reason is, we have many commands (and atm I am sleepy so I can't remember all).. and I believe there will be a big possibility that somebody will abuse one of the commands if the keybinds get ever allowed.. any command ...

I was actually about to do a topic like this myself. What about adjusting the rule a little? Sure, it should be banable if the word you typed in your keybind's making you achieve an advantage in whatsoever or causing spam, but if it's used for its reason; which means for role-play scenes where, just as Nexxt wrote, in police pursuits, in criminal pursuits, in describing your character-appearences through /em - I cannot see anything bad with it.

It's not that stereotyped just because you allow keybinds, believe me. Yes, abusing it should be punishable to the max.
But to judge by my own experience it can also be considered as a good thing in various of scenarios.

No. Keybinds give an unfair advantage over users that can't/don't use them. That's like asking Argo to force players to install modded .img files. It goes against the Argonath Vision and it will never happen. It was even stated in a topic by RON on ARPD forums that it will never be allowed.

Let me refer you to this:

I support this. This could be helpful when sending large amounts of drugs but then again you would be kicked for spamming but it would speed up the process

Then what's the point of roleplaying?

[WaKa]

Bro i mean when your sending the drugs you could use a keybind for "/give id weed 50" because if your sending 1000g it takes forever.

There's a reason why it's limited like that.

That'd be one of the reasons why it should not be allowed, to be honest.

Just press the arrow key pointing up....
this way you get up the last thing you wrote and in this case it should be /give id weed 50

[SugarD]

That's spamming, and it's not allowed. There is a reason why they put such a low limit on drugs...

Which is ?
