Eating and drinking

[[email protected] 131]

Just a idea and would like to know what others have to say about this idea.

 

At the moment you can currently open your gear menu and right click then eat food or drink liquids and also drink from water pumps and ponds. You can also drag this food and drink loot to your action bar/quick slots then press the corresponding button to eat or drink.

 

For me it is very annoying having to repeatedly click this food and drink to consume them  or press your quick slot and then choose to eat/drink.

 

Now this would be fine if it was like the mod where you consume the full food/drink and it disappears but in the SA if you want to eat/drink a full item then you have to choose to consume it several times ...wait for animations for packing and unpacking before you can consume more.

 

So basically would you guys like dean to add a feature where you choose to consume an item and then you are given several options to consume a certain amount of food/drink be it a numbered percentage bar ranging from 1-100 that you slide along or options to consume a set amount such as 25% 50% 75% 100%. This way you can consume as much as you want without having to sit through the animations of your character unpacking/packing the items constantly.

 

A similar system for ponds and water pumps where you are asked something like this:

 

Consume till thirst is satisfied

Consume till half full

Consume till full

 

This way if you only have time for a quick drink as theres someone close by then you can choose consume till thirst is satisfied ...and if your in no danger then you can choose consume till full ....remember tho you can still walk away at any time a danger emerges be it a player or zombie.

Solid ideas, however there are many things to be fixed before considering your suggestions.

But for now dean could add at least options to consume a set amount of food/drink like i said above ...that actually wouldn't take much time at all :)

 

The sliders and shit could be added in later.
