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 !

Under review

We already have various ideas in this section which suggest various solutions to this gold supply problem. Adding TWO new buttons just for a supply locking mechanism is completely unnecessary and neither is a confirmation message (we had this idea before - people said it will be annoying if you want to do a "gold rain"). This issue will already be easy to solve when the planned custom controls are added to the downloadable version of TO. As soon as you are able to move the gold supply to something like the G key, none of these ideas will be necessary.

A better solution might be an option in Settings to be unable to drop gold boxes - with an attempt showing the message in small type near the supply as something like "locked" or something like that which informs the player in case they were trying to drop but had checked the option.

This was already suggested before and developers are aware of this idea. Custom controls will be available in the client at some point in the future and others have suggested similar solutions to this problem. Please be patient as developers are busy with other updates before they can implement this.

well its simple we want to save our gold supply but sometimes our concentration  is on the tough battles and instead of pressing 5 ..... we press 6 by mistake and drop our precious gold box supply.....

 

Thats disgusting.. :angry:  :mellow: ...many players are facing this problem ....please change the gold box supply drop button......as soon as possible.......

 

some players at night play TO with lights off so that their parents couldn't know that they are awake.....and in dark its obvious that we press wrong buttons..... so pressing 6 instead of 5 is making many players mad..... 

 

so this is demand of genuine tanki online players....... help us

I have experienced a few times where i want to mine but i drop a gold box instead, it has happened to a few friends of mine and we all hate it when it happens.My idea to solve this problem is to create a *confirmation button* how it would work is when you press G on your keyboard the gold box icon would turn green and if you pressed 6 it would drop a gold box and if you press G again the icon would turn red and pressing 6 would do nothing preventing from accidentally dropping gold boxes. I hope you like my idea, Thanks!

I just right now almost dropped the gold when placing mine. Good thing my keyboard is ghosting on 5 and that means when i pressed 5 and 6 together, it didnt dropped it.

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

You should also add my thread.

When lag happens supplies actvate. If I had gold boxes, then every time there would be a lag a gold rain would happen. I mean I guess it wouldn't be so bad. Apart from the fact all my golds are now wasted and everyone has to reenter.

I've dropped gold accidentally by hitting 6 instead of 5.  The problem is very (very, very) poor interface design.  You have to figure Tanki is trying to get people to drop gold boxes at the wrong time - else they'd have fixed this by now.  So the problem isn't with the software - it's with the Tanki software development decision making process.  

 

Personally, I prefer a software change that requires one to type "gb" - in order - for "gold box".   Hit a g and something else before the b - no drop.  Only with "gb".   If you want to drop 10 boxes, it's simple enough to type gbgbgbgbgb...

 

But like I said, the problem is really with the Tanki decision-making process and that probably won't change without a reason.   I have a very simple solution for that too: Until Tanki fixes this problem, do NOT buy any more gold boxes.   I know I certainly won't.
