You know how ROBLOX removed their walking and typing function that was present in most places? Well I have an update to solve the problems that it caused and then some. You don't bring back old updates, right ROBLOX ;)?
First things first ROBLOX adds this function: / to chat, SHIFT + / to save and close for later sending, / to go to chat mode again. I think this will be very useful to people who are on laptops and don't have mouses as well as people who are faster on a keyboard and just want to save time. Not to mention the simplicity of it makes it easy to add with my next update.
My next idea may be controversial, but I believe that not only is it B.A, but it will be a big help to future gameplay.
Any WASD key + / function is added. Basically what it does is makes you walk and chat at the same time.
Along with this ROBLOX also adds a new function/gameplay enhancer. It's called green line and here's how it works: Any WASD key + / and HOLD for 1 second function is added. If you do this you go into green line mode. Once you enter green line mode a green line shoots out under your feet; one only you can see. You can use the WASD keys, SPACE BAR, and even zoom all the way in and out to control the line (doesn't show you zoomed in on your screen). Basically you move how you normally would. You can even use your tools in this mode (you won't see yourself using them, though) and perform normal functions as if it was you moving. Once you let go of the / key, what basically happens is that your actual BLOXian plays out all of the premeditated movements and actions that you set while in green line! You go into chat mode and you can chat your message while your BLOXian is moving. It's really, really cool. Once you leave chat mode your BLOXian will stop the action. If you stay in chat mode your BLOXian will finish the actions and then stop moving. Why is this absolutely epic? Well...
1. You can finally watch your BLOXian move in first person while not being in first person yourself. That is B.A! 2. You can plan out movements and do predetermined strategies which is a great ability in sword fighting and war places not to mention the big help it will be in juking places like sports games and tag games. 3. You can make the illusion that you don't need to stop moving to type at all, which is invalueable to war groups and games where you need to communicate with each other without disrupting movement. 4. If you let something play out in your head and let the computer do it, then it will look a lot more skillful than if you were in the heat of the moment. 5. If players get really good at doing this, then the skill level someone can reach in a game will double! No, triple! This would be such a big help.
If something stops your BLOXian from completing the action then they'll complete the action once the obstruction is removed. For example if I was playing Freeze Tag and I was freezed while in green line once someone untags me I will complete the action automatically. As long as you're holding down / you will stay in green line, so you can actually make your BLOXian pause for a few moments before moving again while in green line.
There will also be some options for your green line in settings. Such as: - Green line movement speed: This doesn't affect your player's walkspeed, just if you can plan green line movements faster or slower. - Leave Chat Mode on Send On/Off: This explains itself. It allows you to type while in green line as well as other benefits. Typing an /e action makes your BLOXian do it automatically (ROBLOX, can you add an /e end animation so people can stop the action without leaving green line mode?).
Support would be great! Need a better explanation? Just ask! TL;DR? Well then you must be tired. Or 6.

Forgot to mention this: It is also configurable in place config. You can turn this on or off. There will be an icon next to the copy lock icon that tells you whether or not green line is allowed in the place. It starts out allowed in all places. It's not really a game breaker. More like a game maker. |

First off on the whole / to talk, I want to be able to use Enter. I play Minecraft way too much and I use Enter more than I use the forward slash button. On the actual idea, it would be cool for planning out machinima movies, war games, stuff like that.
And, if I'm correct, didn't you come up with the ROBLOX Ascension idea? If so, you really think out your ideas and type them out in complete paragraphs and give details to back up the idea as you explain it, which we need more of here on S&I. Support.

Thank you I really appreciate the compliment. But I don't really know much about lottery or jjblox so I don't know why they're bad to you. |

lottery: Infamous S&Ier who came on a month or two ago who is very ignorant, supporter of NBC rights and dislikes price floors, although occasionally changes his views. Overall makes himself look stupid.
jjblox: S&Ier who is known for using all caps in his replies, overall makes himself look stupid.

Oh. I've seen lottery before (on my threads). He seems alright. But I don't know him as well as you.
Never seen jjblox.
Thanks for the info, Iron. We need more people like you on the forums, too. |

So it doesn't show the actual movements, though right? Just a line to show where they will take you? I think it actually predicting outcomes and showing them is too OP and too hard to add so I think only the line needs to be shown, and maybe the line makes a hill for every jump. |

@James1011
Thank you for replying and thank you for supporting! Yeah we've moved on, but I still believe that the removal of the green cursor disc broke a lot of obbies. I think it was accidentally OP though :P
Btw I think that also instead of holding / the entire time that you're in green line you should press / to leave green line and/or double tap any WASD key. It's way easier. |
