Communication using key shortcuts with automatic voice commands

Hi,

This Idea can work better with Tanki X but I don't play that game. Idea is add signal voices. I got the idea cuz I play mobile legends a lot and I thought this will be cool in Tanki Online too. Not 100% copy it but add something like this.

Press 7: "Request Backup!"

This is how it sounds like in ML: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/mobile-legends/images/f/f3/Anouncer.kill43.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20180620112734

 

If you add something like this it will be very useful Specially when team is in different locations and you request backup. A symbol will appear which allies can see through walls (Just like when hornet use overdrive & you can see enemies locations through walls.)

 

How useful. We are in CTF and I found a way with less enemies so I will press 7 to request backup and some intelligent players will come to protect while I or someone take the flag and run to cap.

 

2nd example is I'm in 1 vs 3-4 situation so I will request backup by press 7 which is fastest way to call other tankers to certain area. When my friends will come the 1 vs 3-4 will be balanced or 5-6 vs 3-4 tankers. 


Once This idea is approved by mod I hope other players will get it and will reply what voice signals should be in key 8 & 9. And there are less chance this will be in TO and more change this will be in TX cuz Adding voice signals in Unity is easy

Why not just have an optional voice chat in Tanki? That shouldn’t be too hard to implement in the HTML5 version of TO, or at least the client...

Compared to voice chat, this idea is a lot easier to implement. This is just players pressing buttons which plays a sound for everyone else. Voice chat is real-time transfer of microphone input to other players. I assume it would add many more complications.

More be like "Defend!" and "Attack!" messages that appear in the language of the user like the Gold box message. To prevent spam only give it to top 3 team players, and add a cooldown. Not visible to the enemies, of course.

I agree, and it would be really helpful if the voice was in each player's own language.

Why not have the <7> key open up a sub-menu, for more options, like for example:

 

7 Chat Menu (although the <T> key would be better in my opinion)

 

-1 key sub-menu for Attack commands, such as: Attack the A, B, C, etc. points, Attack enemy tanks, or Attack enemy Base.

-2 key sub-menu for Defend commands, such as: Defend the A, B, C, etc. points, Cover me!, or, Defend our Base.

-3 key sub-menu for Response commands, such as: Affirmative (or, I agree, Roger that! etc.), Negative (or, I refuse, No! etc.), Thank you, and Good Job!

-4 key sub-menu for Assist commands, such as: I need help Attacking!, I need help Defending!, I require Assistance, and,  I'm stuck.

 

​For example, If I were playing Assault, and I saw a group of mammoths with flags coming to out base, I would want to press 7 (or T, for chat menu) than press 2 for defend command menu, than press whatever key plays the "Defend out Base" command.

 

(As it will change depending on the mode, you won't be able to command to defend the A point, if you were playing CTF, and no commands are nessesary for DM of course)

Well I think defend the base and attack commands apply to most team modes and defending a particular point doesn't require a whole team's attention, so just defend and attack commands would work out fine, and would be easier to add and use.

This idea is good, but it'll be kinda pointless when your teammates speak in languages you don't understand.

as it's pre-recorded, I don't see why it can't be so that you'd hear another player's messages in your selected language, they already do that for Rugby.

Yes, this is correct. If messages are pre-recorded, it's safe to say that they will be played to each tanker in their preferred language.

Oh, I thought you had to tell the team what to do in your own voice.

Lol Not at all. Just one of the top players of the team can send Defend or Attack commands to the teammates, by pressing a key to play and display a pre-recorded message.

Like, If your language is RU in Game settings & Your Team mate language is Eng then you will hear in RU and your Team mate* will hear in Eng. Players will hear voice command in the language they have selected in settings.

Hello, i think our game need such a basic option like "Help", "Attack" or "Retreat" commands, which you could improve gameplay between team members. How it could work? Very simple, the same as you use drugs, by tapping keyboard button. It would be helpful in my opinion. If this topic was published sorry for that, never was active in forums etc.

Thanks for your precious time :]
