In Jailbreak it can be confusing to know whether a T is typing in chat. To avoid unnecessary freekills, I suggest if a T has his chat open, an icon whether it be 3 dots or a keyboard above his head to show that player is typing.

yeah i think that'd be a good idea since most cts are toxic and instantly kill you if youre stading up
 
I dont remember who came up with the idea during jailbreak today, but I love it!

This would be a nice quality-of-life addition. However regardless of if the player is typing or not, the CT's still need to give 3 seconds. If you're on guard you should already have read the rules and have a good grasp on them. In the case that a freekill does happen, the CT will be swapped.

This is an awesome idea ngl, I don't see any clear negatives to implementing this. Might not be easy though. Issue is that it may not be possible to implement.

All that's needed is go add a hook into "is client typing", and we then use the code that adds that icon above warden, and change it to whatever we want. We then send that to the server so everyone receives that info as if will the fetch the array of who's typing and display it. Should be staightforwqard to implement.
 
+0 Eh could be laggy could not be. The server has been super laggy recently (t's unhidden about 90fps with RTX 2060 SUPER + SV has been higher). I'm always talking to people in steam DMS and not in chat so I could see some toxicity like "You were just standing up for no reason". Don't hate it but I'm pointing out the possible negative comebacks from it.
 
Thinking about it does seem like a great addition but it would make the server so cluttered with typing icons and it will cause unnecessary lag. Also the 3 second rule to follow the command isn’t strictly to typing, you can be just not moving for 3 seconds before following the command and usually people die when uncrouch during a crouch walk command the die instantly so I don’t know if this will even change anything that much. I think it would do more harm than good to the server

The “standing up to type rule” isn’t meant for only typing in chat, this could be through steam DMs, this could be just alt tabbing real quick, etc. This rule is meant to allow prisoners to do something really quickly, whether that’s looking at your phone or turning down your music in the background to hear the warden better, it could be for anything. Adding this “icon” would not only be nearly impossible to do but it would cause way more freekills with the reasoning “I didn’t see their icon”. In my opinion there’s already enough icons floating around players heads and this would just add more clutter.

As peoples have said, the 3 second rule is not specifically for typing. So basically if we added this (which is also nearly impossible because you would have to write a plugin that would have to detect if you are still typing on your keyboard or not) any CT that sees someone stand up without this "icon" would instantly shoot said person. Would add more toxicity that is not needed to the server. Also, smart T's that rebel know and use this rule of 3 seconds to catch a CT off guard that is too close.
