Title: laying and sitting
Post by: hook on April 26, 2003, 08:05:48 pm: i\'d really enjoy a /lay and a /sit command.

the implementation itself IMHO wouldn\'t be that hard. all you would need was to make the character sit and lay on the floor, then all the player would need to do to sit on a bench or lay on a bed is to climb it and than /sit or /lay.

it would be great if there was also a possibility to \"move\" while you sit/lay, this way you could lay on your back, sides, front. you could also turn around while you sit.
this could be done with a simple usage of the arrow keys while sitting/laying.

sitting:
the arrow keys could turn you around as in the walk mode

laying:
the arrow keys would with a single tap control where you face lying:
left: you would lay yourself on the left side (of your body)
right: the same only on the right side
up: you would lay down on the back - you would face up
down: you would lay down on your face - you would face forward

while laying (maybe evnen while sitting) it would be great if the mouselook would go on by default and go off by default when you would get up again

man i would really enjoy this two options in PS ...i really enjoy sitting or laying and watching the sky. it also gets a bit tiresome to only stand all day long ;)

btw: these two commads would help later in the developpement, when camping and sleeping

p.s. this would require also a /get-up command ;)

Seeing a guy sitting on say, a barrel would really make it look nice to me.

Post by: hook on April 27, 2003, 12:38:02 pm: yeah, and if you want to make it really simple (nwn made it too complicated), just implement the /sit and /lay command as proposed in the opening post of the topic.

this way you could sit and lay on litterary everything - you would just climb it and then sit or lay down :) - this way would be the simplest to implement and it would be also the most usefull and fun :]

as i said: when you sit or lay down, the arrow keys would command your body (read first posts) and it would emidiatly enter the mouselook - so you could look with your mouse, and control your body with the arrow keys ...i had it thought out quite thouroughly :]

Title: OT - ratings
Post by: hook on April 28, 2003, 05:12:03 pm: i just looked at the forums again and i saw that there are ratings for some topics - at first i thought it was based on how many replies or visits that topic has, but i realised that this is not the case ...so what is it then?!?

didn\'t have any word from the devs on this laying sitting idea yet ...man i\'d like to have it implemented!!!! ...i know, i\'m beggining to be a nuissance ...but i really want this idea to be implemented - it\'s not hard :rolleyes:
