#AL {pc} {say "Eat splinters, bitch!"; point cudgel at @target}

Fun! I'll have to put in a timer so it doesn't go off each time, or it'd be annoying.

#CASE %random {taunt1} {taunt2} {taunt3} {taunt4} (#NOOP) (#NOOP)

Put a few #NOOP in there, so it doesn't do it every time, and that there is a chance when hitting the macro for example, that you won't always say it.

I like it, though combat is already quite spammy as is.
Richter2005-05-18 00:49:52
Noop?
Nayl2005-05-18 01:04:55
no-operation. Means nothing happens.

To save yourself annoying yourself as you taunt... gag your taunts. Then in a few weeks you get to say 'Huh?' when someoen says 'Why are you tuanting me!?'
Stangmar2005-05-19 03:58:09
Gag? does that mean to like make it so that it doesn't show up on your screen?
Shiri2005-05-19 03:58:50
Yes.
Nayl2005-05-19 09:45:17
No...... Wait, yes tongue.gif (Jokes)

While I see the point of doing this by reflex, I have to say I'm against it. Fighting is so spammy as it is. If I say something during a fight, on the remote chance it's seen, I don't want it to be ignored because other people are saying stock phrases in parrot-like repetition.

Spam is one of the most ooc things I've ever heard of or seen. So, it doesn't really bother me.

Plus, I'm planning on having about 30 or so triggers, that go off randomly, sometimes. And I have that taunt button that I might hit every once in a while too.

No, he has a point. I'm not sure what you mean there. He's not complaining about other people IC complaining about it, he's complaining about it being missed in general, and being annoying into the bargain.
Gwylifar2005-05-20 23:44:37
Right, what I mean is, if everyone people have robotic conversations every four lines, and I actually try to say something for RP purposes, everyone will have tuned out and miss it. Those cutesy triggered talking things are only amusing once, if even that much, and after that, everyone tunes them out, and everything else like them.

I remember a guy called Lok used to flash the victory sign after everything he killed. He had it triggered. So he'd stand at pool killing rats and everytime he'd flash it. He looked so stupid.

Do you guys ever get annoyed by people poking you? Well, here's the taunt-like answer:

#TRIGGER {Finger extended, %1 pokes you.}{#CASE %random {scream OWWWWWWWW!}{scream dieeeeeeee!;declare %1;hack down;hack up %1}{poke %1;say you're it}}
