General

This command is used ingame by players to call for help from allied medics and engineers.

Pressing and holding a key bound to the command brings up a radial menu with the following options:

Left - Medic! - I'm infected %h - %a Centre - Medic! - I need health %h - %a Right - Engy! - I need armour %h - %a Top - Engy! - I need ammo

Just pressing and releasing triggers the default medic health call.

Visual

  • The command "saveme" triggers a red cross symbol over the player who issues the command. Allied medics can see this symbol over other players who trigger the command.

Textual

Saveme also triggers a text message requesting health and/or armor based on the players current supply.

  • If a player needs health and armor:

"I need health and armor! %h - %a"

  • If a player only needs health:

"I need health! %h - %a"

  • If a player only needs armor:

"I need armor! %h - %a"

  • If a player is infected:

"I am infected and need a medic! %h - %a"

  • If a player has full health and armor, saveme should not trigger, instead returning a message to the player that they do not need help.

Audible

  • The saveme command also plays a wav or mp3 file for allies close by alerting them to the request.

Other

  • The saveme command can only be called once every 5 seconds. The visual notifier lasts for this same duration. say_team text can only be triggered once every 5 seconds per the commands limit. The radial menu should be greyed out for 5 seconds after issuing a command with it.
  • Also to note, there should be a separate wrench model to accompany the medic cross, which will display to allied engineers like the cross does to medics.
