Feature: Zoom function.

[Sonny]

Hey. I know there are a lot of good some script's and think's simulary to this. But my suggestion is a zoom function in the game. I made a .gif animation for you, so I haven't to explain  .

[Hatecrew]

I dont like the idea...sure they would be so much new ways to play a map..but...i think it would slow down the game speed.
And paintball is most fast gameplay...

[Garrett]

If this does go up for vote, I say no.  Just get one of these from the general developement board.

I don't like it, making it too easy to zoom... New players are going to get confused when try to play it, and its going to take them longer to improve their aim (and movement if all they do is stay back and zoom)   I like it optional as scripts so once a player is comfortable with their controls and aiming and get experince with it, they can then get zoom scripts if they want...

[Zorchenhimer]

You can do that exact same thing with scripts.  And that's with the crosshair too.

That means nothing for the much larger majority of players. I like my zoom script, i think it would be nice to have it as an option for newer players, or those that don't read the forums.

i was thinking about this and if something like this were to be implemented it be only on 1 new gun that shoots slow as a pgp but has zoom features AND is extremely accurate

[Zorchenhimer]

Rail PGP anyone? 

[BuLLzEyE]

No. If you want to zoom into something just bind a lower FOV to your mouse wheel. (or what ever key you like)

I want to have a zoom, but I have never heard of this FOV thing?? I understand the word bind, but how on earth would i bind a zoom to my mouse wheel.

[Zorchenhimer]

Lekky, you want the last one.

Variation 1
The most simple and effective one. When you roll your mousewheel up you zoom in and the sensitivity goes down. You roll it down and you go back to normal and the sensitivity goes back to normal. (You can change the "fov" and the "sensitivity" to your liking.

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "fov 100;sensitivity 6"
bind "MWHEELUP" "fov 40;sensitivity 2"

Variation 2
This one zooms in when you press a key and zooms out when you let go of the key.

alias +zoom "fov 30;sensitivity 5"
alias -zoom "fov 90;sensitivity 10"
bind mouse2 +zoom

Variation 3
This one zooms in when you hit a key then when you hit the key again it will go closer then when you hit the key once again it will go back. You can also bind it to the mousewheel.

alias zoom0 "fov 120; bind f zoom1"
alias zoom1 "fov 70; bind f zoom2"
alias zoom2 "fov 50; bind f zoom0"
bind f zoom1

Variation 4
This one is bound to the mouse wheel and takes into consideration mouse sensitivity.

bind "MWHEELDOWN" "zoom0"
bind "MWHEELUP" "zoom1"
alias zoom0 "crosshair 16;fov 120;sensitivity 20;bind mwheelup zoom1"
alias zoom1 "crosshair 2;fov 70;sensitivity 10;bind mwheelup zoom2;bind mwheeldown zoom0"
alias zoom2 "fov 50;sensitivity 8;bind mwheelup zoom3;bind mwheeldown zoom1"
alias zoom3 "fov 30;sensitivity 6;bind mwheelup zoom4;bind mwheeldown zoom2"
alias zoom4 "fov 10;sensitivity 4;bind mwheeldown zoom3"

There's already a zoom function, its called fov.

Thats what the scripts use.

XD thats what I meant.

[Xena]

why not just use a script? i have it but i rarely use it... besides, one some map, you're going to get a lot more campers.

Oh yes, let's do this.  Make sure to have an option for 5x zoom, 10x zoom, and an advertisement for leezerz.com

-1.  I'm not a huge fan of FOV altering in general.  I really think it should be locked, to be honest.

Warsow has a pretty cool zoom function. In the menu it lets you decide weather or not you want a key bound to it, then it has a box at what fov you want to use for your zoom.

Im sure something like that could be done with dp's current menu system.
