GUI addition: Sprint/Walk mode (Example included!)

[Seioch 1]

My suggestion is simple: add a small graphic above the status graphics to show whether you are toggled to sprint or walk. Too many times I forget about my walking speed toggle and end up sprinting just far enough to aggro half of cherno. This suggestion effectively will prevent that and seems to be a very easy idea to implement.

Walking toggled on:

Sprint toggled on:

I like it. The reason being that sometimes you are not aware if your next step will be a sprint or a walk. That has caused me to aggrivate zombies before.

Very Nice agree this would be helpful.

We could also get little icons for other toggle settings, also let you know if you are crouched, prone, standing, and if you're looking down the barrel of your weapon with iron site. (sometimes I have found I get stuck walking due to an item like the hatchet not noticeable when right clicked)

Would definitely help in those situations where you accidently start running inside a building and think "Oh Shit...."

I was about to yell at you because double tapping shift is in the game, but then I was like,

"Oooooh, I see what he's getting at!"

+1.

Just don't clutter the UI too badly.

Bump for visibility.

I dont think its needed, obviously you haven't been playing Arma2 enough to know the game mechanics

What do you mean? If run is toggled, then you can hold shift to walk. But what if you double tapped shift to toggle walk as normal? Then holding shift would make you run. And what if you forgot, or you tapped shift a lot and you weren't sure what it ended up on, it would be like playing Russian roulette, except instead of a revolver, it would be zombies, and instead of bullets, it would be your stupid legs.

I usually just crouch and tap w to see what happens. I understand how it could be annoying, but I don't know if it really merits a separate icon.
