Ideas for preventing accidental activation of Gold box supplies

Here's my own simple idea to solve this: to drop a Gold box, the player needs to press and hold the 6 key and the Gold will drop with a short delay. "Gold rains" will still be very possible because the delay will be no more than half a second, but it will also be more than enough to prevent accidental drops when trying to place a mine, because I doubt that any player holds the 5 key when laying mines, as holding it is completely pointless.

But why? It doesn't do anything. You still need to spam the key if you want to place more than one mine.

How about that we implement some kind of "countdown timer"?

 

Let's say, you are holding the key 6 and then counting down starts:

If you release the key 6 before the timer reaches 0 - Gold box will not drop. Of course let's not forget the "Gold box rains", then the smart cooldown time for Gold box supply should be reduced from five to two seconds.

But what if we try and press 6, but press 5 by accident and lose a mine!?!?!?  :o

That would be terrible! We need a feature to preserve our mines!!!

i Suggest that you move the gold supply away from the rest of the drugs cuz it's really annoying to look at the keyboard before placing every mine so i don't drop a gold by accident or at least make it shift+6 or ctrl+6 it will make it easier for all of us

Maybe a chat command, like /drop, would work best?

Not very user-friendly. Many players don't know how what chat commands are and how to use them. One of the reasons why /vote is so ineffective.

Actually, you'll find that low-rankers actually over-use the /vote system... in almost every battle you'll find a wrong command, such as \vote ____ or /vtoe ____.

If you have a short guide after you buy the GB, I think it would work.

Soon the hotkeys settings will come. So everyone can set the gold box key to wherever they want.

And yes I've dropped golds multiple times by mistake. I remember one time I was in parkour and I wanted to put 2 mines for my friend the nI pres "6" 2 times. lol

please don't get too exited about my genius idea to fix this in the most simple way.

 

just change the button that drops the golds to the number 9 key or L letter or G or T .you get the point

"0" button would be the best because of its location.

Yes. We need a warning message button feature interface asking players "Are you sure you want to drop the gold box?". This will prevent players to accidentally drop gold boxes by accident.

What about people trying to do a gold rain? Having to click every time will get extremely annoying.
