Animations on startup [REVIVED]

[Mitak]

This topic was started a year and a half ago, but I revived it because I saw that everyone F12ed, but that wasn't enough for it to be added to the "special waiting list of stuff that might be implemented".

About 10 seconds after you respawn, if you do not move, your soldaten scratches his head or lights a cigarette.
These 2 are somewhat blocking the accuracy and movement.

I have to either go prone or fire a round to break out of this animation.

Is there any way to increase the animation's activation time from 10 seconds to 1 minute?

[Mittsu]

yeah, it sometimes puts me in trouble too.

[DorkeyDear]

It troubles me too. Would be better to increase time, or possibly all together disable it (default on) F12

[LtKillroy]

I usually just switch weapons, but yeah, a checkbox would be nice. F12.

I agree on This too F12, It's bothered me a few times also.

Good Idea.

[MyiEye]

I second that, but it doesn't only happen on startup you know those times when your mom won't stop bugging u and you have the afk for a sec. GOSH!!!

This really sucks when your standing on an ice poly on a climb map :/

if you managed to stand still for however long it takes for this to kick in, then you'll have time to punch the air once and flip back to safety.

I honestly don't see why people don't like this, the only people it hurts are campers.

sometimes you accidentally press alt+1 or whatever key is bound to /smoke when you flip.  happens to me sometimes

My alt-1 is /kill, for use in emergency situations to keep the enemies from getting a kill.
how would you press alt-1 when flipping lol?
Thats not what this is about anyways.

That is actually used to give inconvenience to the campers. Now you can't hide so easily as your body moves and you'd make a little sound, as well as the fact that you become stuck in that animation for while unless you do something.

As annoying as it is, I think I'm alright with it. Who stands still in Soldat unless he's a camper or trying to hide? And campers would probably be proning/crouching.



Though I'd like to see that the /smoke function can take out the lit cigar online. Completely unimportant, but for some reason, I can't /smoke to let the guy stop smoking when I'm online, but works perfectly offline.

I wouldn't want to see it removed. Rather, I'd like to suggest that it should be easier to break out of. Say, just pressing an arrow key should stop the animation.

Quoted for the BEST post of the thread!

F12 for that!
