Quickchat

QuickChat

Classes: All

Function: Handles in game quick chat words, phrases and built in speech.
Currently based on the T:V extended chat, but will also partially replicate into SHIFT + Movement keys for certain common phrases.
This should also be customisable by an XML or LUA script file.
Global chat is both shown in the chat window and menus as being white, whilst team talk is green.
NOTE - Almost every vehicle related chat has currently been excluded

Current structure:

V Open quickchat menu

Then you have the following menu displayed which contains submenus as broken down further on:
G Global Say
E Team Say
V Offense (team chat)
D Defense (team chat)
F Flag (team chat)
T Target / Need (team chat)
C Taunts (global chat)
(keys 1 to 5) Spare / extras
X Exclamations
U Hidden
H = teamsay "HELP!"

Where (More) is shown, that is another displayed menu, so for example:
Pressing 'V' bring up the above menu
Pressing G would then show:

Heading: Global Say
G (More)
Y "Yes"
N "No"
D "I Don't Know"
H "Hi"

Etc. as shown below.
The entire menu should be closed with "Esc" key and disable any other bound actionmap whilst quickchat menu is open.
Example map demonstrating some very basic functions can be found here: Test Quickchat Map
Only Global say Yes and No basic form are included to demonstrate the general format.
