FS#708 - a better way to impersonate npcs
/impersonate target, with a target selected, and then your /say and /shout and /me works with the target’s name
The gm team wishes for an easier way to impersonate npcs, perhaps take over the npc and be able to use normal chat commands and they come out as you are speaking as the npc without having to use target and target the npc.

Isn’t there already some kind of impersonation command? Last time I used it I can remember it wasn’t really practical though.
we have one but as you said it is not the easiest to use
What if you want to do chat as your char and not whatever you are impersonating?
most of the time if you are impersonating you are invisable and not talking in public chat expect for the impersonating, there could also be a way to turn this feature on and off i would assume so it would not conflict
Kemedes, could you please give a look at this?
Removing assignment of developers to feature requests, requested by Talad.
If this is still being worked on, maybe we can change one little thing:
When we impersonate, many times we do it with /impersonate text, to give players information about what is happening around them, like “You hear the sound of rubble crumbling down the hill”. In those instances, the text should have a distinctive color, like the purple used in NPC actions during quests. That would make them stand out. The same goes for /impersonate shout and /impersonate worldshout.
This doesn’t depend on making the /impersonate command easier to use so it can probably be implemented faster. It would greatly help our events since the dull gray shade of /impersonate messages can get lost in regular chat.
Is this still valid or were recent changes enough?
