Command Boxes

Blueh · 11-17-2012

Inspired by command blocks from Minecraft.

So what these are are basically what you think they are if you've ever played Minecraft. Boxes that effect the nearest player or his/her surroundings. These could work like a furniture crystal. By having one of these they could:

-Send a private message to a player (as a greeting or something)
-Broadcast a message that could only be seen on the level of house/guild house (at the bottom of the screen so it isn't an actual broadcast)
-Display names of people currently in the house at the bottom of the screen
-Make another player broadcast something in the level if he/she triggers the box by standing too close or at a specific area.
-For Guild House Spars, be able to customize the message displayed whenever someone wins or loses or when a new match has begun
-Notify the level to broadcast whoever has been just been killed
-Enable/Disable PVP in the area
-Change the current soundtrack (because not everyone has a jukebox and they no longer sell radios)
-Change spawn point according to all those on the level who touched the box (for something like a team death match)

With some of these features it would help make your guild house or house a lot more interesting. You would only be able to preform one function at a time so that not one box is performing a multitude of tasks. It would help make friendly guild events much more fun and easier. So for example if you are playing paintball in your guild house people won't cheat by claiming they haven't died when really they have. That way it'll announce their death on the level and everyone would know. These would probably be sold for about 15k each since they would preform a lot of functions. Just some ideas I had based off of minecraft, don't sue me Notch D:

Lol I like the "Broadcast inside the level" one but I think players would abuse it by harassing certain players with it. And like, if someone is spamming it, then no one would be able to see the other players' messages since the message disappears fast at the bottom.
