Department doorbells

Post by Reimoo » #51697

Basically this idea consists of placing a button next to a department's main entrance that either plays a sound throughout the entire department or messages relevant staff PDAs to let people know there's a visitor. This would cut down on the AI's workload by encouraging people to open doors for others.

Also so the clown can ding-dong ditch security.

Give it a delay but make it emaggable to disable the delay.

Blame X for spamming doorbell, watch as department kicks their shit in for it.

Fund it.

The best way to get a girl/boy friend is to click on them say "hi" then push enter
then say "your cute" then push enter,wait until they say somthing back if they
don't go for another.

Why not have them ping PDA's with an ID inside that has access to the department. Also a ghetto way of checking for access changes on an ID.

I coded bells a while back but used /areas which are kinda shitty, so it got rejected. The idea was to make sure you could hear the bell anywhere in the department.

If I get the motivation, I can always look into making the sound emit from department wall radios or something. PDA idea is good, though.

Just use the requests consoles. We really should be using those things more imo.

Yeah I'll dust off the code and implement it with request consoles emitting sound. I'm away for the holidays but might push something in the next couple of weeks.

Be sure to set a cooldown on that bell. Dont want the clown spamming it all day.

Emagged: it rings the doorbell at random intervals, forever.

I like having this go through the request consoles, but for cases where there's nobody in the department's rooms, maybe request consoles should have an option to ring on the department channel also. (This would encourage using request consoles in general.)

Personally I feel that the requests consoles should also speak over the department channel in general anyways, not just for this.

This is perfect, just like bots responding on their departmental radio channel.

I am glad someone likes that function! :D Request Consoles transmitting on department radio greatly increases the chance that someone will respond. It really is worth coding, and would not be very difficult.

Fuck no. This needs to be as annoying as possible, if a greyshirt starts spamming my department button I'd beat the shit out of him for it.
