Legit Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Since adding a menu would be too much work and a 'pain in the ass' could a custom key or hard bound key be added to un-escort people. It is frustrating when the option doesn't show up or a player gets stuck being escorted. I have countless tales where people shoot you while you're escorting somebody then accuse you of using the restrained player as a shield. It is impractical to use the scroll menu while being shot at and it would be beneficial to add a key so you can drop players quickly without fiddling with the scroll menu. (Especially since it decides to not show up half the time) Side Note: Every other Life server I have played on has ditched using scroll actions because of how unreliable and laggy it is, please consider making the change to an action menu.

massi Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Or maybe make it so that if a restrained player or the player escorting him is shot at, the escorting action stops. This would prevent meatshielding. When I hear gunshots, I automatically look towards where they are coming from which sometimes results in me turning around with the detainee and it could potentially result in me meatshielding. I too would like a fix into this because it's seriously frustrating. "EJ" and Lukas - Flicksonfleek like this Link to comment
HotWings Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 If im escorting someone and get shot at i am shooting back. There is a huge difference between purposefully using someone as a shield and having to defend yourself. Link to comment

It's also not practical to have a keybind for everything that people want a keybind for (due to a limited number of keybinds we can use). Link to comment

But then realized that's an awful idea Link to comment

Get rid of some of the underused custom actions like spike strips and replace them with what OP suggested. FudgeR likes this Link to comment

I'm not sure if there is an actual limited amount of keybinds or if you are just referring to physical keys on a keyboard, if the latter is the problem you could always add it as a custom control, there are plenty of unused ones.

There are 20 custom controls you can use in Arma 3. Link to comment
James Anderson Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 @Gnashes will we ever be able to bind a key to restrain downed people again? Link to comment
