Completed Ideas for preventing accidental activation of Gold box supplies

[Maf 32,307]

I decided to create a single topic to collect all suggestions for ways to prevent accidental activation of the Gold box supply. All of them have a similar purpose, so this topic will be reported to developers and they may choose whichever one works best (if any).
 
List of ideas:

• Completed: Change gold box supply key (6) to prevent accidental gold drop when trying to lay a mine - @MAD.GEN1US
• Lock the Gold box supply - @Yisroel.Rabin
• Confirmation pop-up message when dropping a gold box - @BlindSniper
• Add a short delay when pressing the 6 key -
• Specific key combination required to drop a gold (e.g. Ctrl+6) -
• Personal Drugs Disable/Enable feature - @Remorseless

Hey guys. I don't think this is a concern for most players because they don't have golds in their garage. But for people who do have golds, it is painful to accidentally drop a gold when you were trying to mine someone. I just dropped a gold while trying to mine, and what was even worse was that I had to self destruct and lose all mines while trying to go for gold. I think it would be a good idea to move the "6" key to something far away from other supplies like "0". I know you would say that the client allows you to change keys, but the client is not possible to use for Linux users like me. Please make this change on the web browser. Thanks.

It has happened many times by now that a player wants to plant a couple of mines and accidentally clicks the '6' key instead of '5'. My idea is to have a way to lock the '6' key. It can be that you have to press the 'L' key in order to lock it and 'U' key in order to unlock it, or simply have an auto-lock on golds and when clicking six, you'll have to confirm that you want to want to drop the gold.

It's pretty easy to drop a goldbox by misstake , when using mines..There should been a warning message, when you press "6". Something like "Drop gold?"

I agree with everything in this topic.

I think this should be for EVERY drug. Maybe we should have to press the drug key like 3 times quickly in a row in order to activate it because i don't like putting my finger off the keyboard and having to click something.

Brilliant idea.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Good idea .ive accidentally dropped a few golds my self when i was reaching for the "5" buttion to lay a mine

[Spit_Fyre 334]

Wouldn't want that. The number of times I've pooped my tank pants XD

You steal flag, you have low health and you are still spamming that button!

Or in rail battle you want to activate DD at the last moment. Boom! you have to spam DD and you miss the shot.

huh?

Good idea, i also wasted some drugs by mistake :unsure:

I dont think so.. Goldbox is a supply and supplies should be as fast as possible. Imagine a scenario you are holding the flag and you were about to use the repair kit but you pressed 6 and the confirmation pops up and by the time you get your mouse to close that box you would die. Supplies should be coming active the very second its activated. The thing I would rather suggest is move this key away a little bit. Like number 8 or 7 or Rather the G button.

[Spit_Fyre 334]

huh?

Dropping mines... they are very reminiscent of that amazing feeling... letting go of that crap you've been carrying inside you ... :D

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Yes, it could easily happen, that a player accidentally press key 6 instead of the key 5. Especially on laptop keyboards.

 

Either confirmation as suggested, or perhaps a combination of keys e.g Ctrl + 6

You steal flag, attempt to lay a mine, drop a gold, a) u are dead b )u just wasted $1. If you want to use health just spam the button earlier when you are on half health and someone is shooting u at same time. 

You can always adjust your last minute DP by spamming it earlier.

but if i spam, i have less control over a tank.

Sometimes, you accidentally press the "6" key and a Gold box is being dropped. A confirmation notification might be useful to avoid this, so my idea is, how about creating a notification asking "Are you sure you want to drop the Gold box?". It will appear on your screen - you will have the option to choose "Yes" or "No".

So. Let me ask you. How much golds have you wasted by accident? i have wasted 2 druggs.

And idea is about GB. You start:

Goldbox [...] Immagine you have low healh and you press RK and confirmation pop-up.

Whaaat??

gold box is not a repair kit.

Fortunately I haven't wasted any of it yet ( I just had 1 ). Gold box was introduced as a SUPPLY, that's all I wanted to say.

I agree with the idea, but maybe not 3 times. Maybe you press the drug key then press enter to proceed or escape to abort.

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

just make it we need to pres 6 and 7 at same time to drop gold

[simonkid 9]

Just make it so you have to type in a launch code and get confirmation from the kremlin before they let you drop them :D

Gold Box Supply Idea !

 

Hi, I hope you add a button in garage the disable and enable number 6 (Gold Supply)

 

Imagine if someone joined a parkour battle, and he want's to put some mines,

but.... he pressed Gold Box Supply by accident and dropped 3 or 4 golds!!.

 

 

And Thanks !
