A to open doors - i liked it at first, but I like it so much more when you just have to touch it.

A to reload - why not auto reload?

Chat commands - :unlock, :lock (why not toggle with mouse click?)

Excessive use of chat commands shows there's something deeper is going wrong with the UI as a whole. Perhaps lack of qualitative output from the graphics department? I don't know but they're bad.

A to reload - There's an "Auto reload" in the Options > Weapons section, but that's just for when you change your weapons (EG: Going from Neo Rifle to BAR, both using the same ammo, but different clip sizes). I think that alone should be fixed up, and "Auto reload" be changed to actually auto reload when the clip is run dry rather than when switching weapons of the same ammo type.

Chat commands - I'd like to see something like a "House Control" GUI come up everytime you enter your house and disappear when you leave it that gave you all the buttons and fields you need to perform all the tasks you can do with the chat commands. As for other things, I'm not sure where else chat commands are used like that, other than the /commands, but there's not much you can do to compact all of those commands into a gui and be able to use them as quickly as just typing in exactly what you want to do.

if u dont even have to click A (with right timing) to open a door then how easy will it become to run away from a fight??
and dont take off the reload/change gun thing lmao, it's the most (maybe only) useful thing that this management has been able to bring to era..also considering that knowing when to and finding the right time to reload is a skill, like it or not

Didn't you introduce that click sound when the clip is empty? :p

If you don't like pressing A to open doors, then change the command to spacebar or something. ;)

You guys are missing the point. guns have different reload times. I would be annoyed constantly if the guns reloaded automatically. imagine this, you are pking when you just freeze and get shot a few times. Part of pking is timing your reload.

And the chat commands for doors is more simple than a GUI

Here's the code for mouse clicking a door

HTML Code:

function onActionLeftMouse() {

  if (player.account in this.door_Access) {

    this.door_open = !this.door_open;

    this.chat = "Door" SPC (this.door_open? "Opened":"Closed") @ "!";

    setTimer(5);

  }

}



function onTimeout() {

  this.chat = " ";

}

I don't mind the reload if people like it- but the doors are annoying as hell lol

I'll start offering that as an option to people for their storage doors, thanks for the tip.

having to use a mouse on graal outside of the usual OOC gui stuff (playerlist, serverlist, etc) is a big no-no. =[

Pretty sure Era used to have auto-reloading at one point, but it was changed back right away because you don't always want to reload right when you run out of ammo.

For example, when a wall of bullets is coming at you and you want to wait until after you dodge them to reload.

e: if reloading didn't have a freeze associated with it, then yeah, auto-reloading would be nice.

This.

Yes, moving from keyboard to mouse is very slow and there would be absolutely no benefit. Try it, it can really slow you down doing that all the time.

I think I'm used to iOS stuff lol

I suppose Era PC doesn't offer weekly ammo stuff too

who cares about storage doors, just dont change doors that involve pk
