Quick-Equip Menu

[Bl0nkt]

In other words, hotkeys. There are times in Zone where I wish I had a grenade equiped at the time. Unfortunately, it would mean openning the q-menu and risking my life trying to equip it just to try and re-equip my bluerifle again once I throw it.

If it's not too much trouble, please add hotkeys to the num pad numbers. Perhaps right clicking an item you want to hotkey and a list from 0 - 9 comes up. A picture will appear of the weapon assigned to each number to the right of the according number. Click the according number and it is assigned to that num pad button.

Thank you.

I would probably play Zone if it had hotkeys.

the problem is;
Noob uses bluerifle to lame you, when he has low health he jetpacks away easily.
This is the reason Zone has s and d as seperate hands.

Quick Keys are bad.

1) Medics. They will hotkey the pack and lame it on themselves.

2) Jetpack runners. Will hotkey em and run away.

3) Healing packs in general. Will use them too much in battle.

NO! As mentioned we have S and D slots for a reason.

You have a point there.

Here are two options:

a) Set limitations to what items could be hotkey'd.

b) Set the 1 numpad key to a rifle you want to hotkey, the 2 numpad key to a pistol you want and the 3 numpad key to a grenade/mine you want (In other words, you could only set three things to hotkey. One from the rifle list, one from the handgun list and one from the grenade list).

hotkeys will definetly cause more lameing

I kind of like the idea but being able to change weapons like that so fast would kind of destroy the use of weapons that are one handed and also, it'd be like having 6 hands to hold weapons in, maybe when you press 1 it opens the menu you set to it and so on? (You press 1 and it opens the Riffle menu, 2 the Pistol menu and so on) I dunno

it shouldnt b made ppl would just equip like a shotgun and when they get up close quickly pull out a plasma sabre....zzzz

[someonesomewhere]

Only Sapper has both Shotgun and plasma Saber, and It's not exactly the fastest unit... and last time I checked:

He never mentioned a Hotkey for melee weapons. (Choice B)

bottom line is ppl would lame faster....heal faster.....kill faster.....and cause the game 2 suck.

Read choice B. If you call equipping a rifle to a pistol being lame, you're wrong. This isn't something only one person can do. EVERYONE will have it so ANYONE could switch to a handgun/rifle/grenade.

They were very detailed and easy to use.
