Recalling votes

[Duckett]

there should be a way to take your vote back in ac (if there already is I'm a dumbass). What if you accidentally hit f1 to a map called "theworstmapeverF1PLZ" & you meant to hit f2 you'd be screwed.

[ImaCripple]

no, you can just leave the server.

[Mael]

There was a script written that placed a 5 second delay before a vote was cast with the option to change or cancel the vote.

[MorganKell]

You are telling me that that last vote I called to kick the bitch who just killed me three seconds ago with what was obviously katana hack can be recalled before I hit f1? Dang... maybe I should drink more to cope with the pain of death??

[Lantry]

this isn't even the right thread; there is a thread specifically designated for ideas.
Hint: it's called 'Ideas'

Delayed vote script: gives you a 5 second grace period to cancel your vote. To cancel, press the opposite vote button. To vote before then, just vote again.

[SELECT ALL] Code:

// Reset the aliases just in case
cancelallvotes = [ votingno = 0; votingyes = 0; votetimestamp = 0]
cancelallvotes

vote_exec1 = [ vote 1; echo " 0You voted yes"; cancelallvotes ]
vote_exec2 = [ vote 2; echo " 3You voted no"; cancelallvotes ]

// $arg1 = millis
delayed_vote = [
    // only bother if we're actually due
    if (= ($votetimestamp) ($arg1) ) [
        if (= ($votingyes) 1) [ vote_exec1 ]
        if (= ($votingno) 1) [ vote_exec2 ]
    ] [
        echo "All this wait for nothing..."
    ]
]

delayed_vote_start = [ votetimestamp = (millis); sleep 5000 [ delayed_vote votetimestamp ] ]

delayvote1 = [
    if (= ($votingyes) 1) [
        // voting yes when already have voted yes, do it immediately
        vote_exec1
    ] [
        if (= ($votingno) 1) [
            // changed mind, cancel
            echo " 6You cancelled your F2"; cancelallvotes
        ] [
            // normal/first vote
            echo "Voting YES in five seconds!"; votingyes = 1; delayed_vote_start
        ]
    ]
]

delayvote2 = [
    if (= ($votingno) 1) [
        // voting no when already have voted no, do it immediately
        vote_exec2
    ] [
        if (= ($votingyes) 1) [
            // changed mind, cancel
            echo " 6You cancelled your F1"; cancelallvotes
        ] [
            // normal/first vote
            echo "Voting NO in five seconds!"; votingno = 1; delayed_vote_start
        ]
    ]
]
bind "F1" [delayvote1]
bind "F2" [delayvote2]

Gibbstick does it again...
Scripts thread?

[Gibstick]

it's there, I just don't know where.

[Xeoncross]

it's there, I just don't know where.

Ya, no-one does. There should be a warning sign up on that thread that says "Danger! Enter at your own risk!"

[al3rt]

Gibstick: That WAS helpful :D
Thanks a lot

[SnowOak]

Yeah that script is cool

[Gibstick]

Thank GD

[Polusive]

Good idea, but why don't we put a 5 second grace period on whether you want to shoot your gun or not as I sometimes accidentally shoot my team mates :(
Good idea? :P

[Gibstick]

You should post that in the ideas thread, where it belongs.

[eftertanke]

LOL at all the haters. Nice goading MK.

[Gibstick]

BTW it won't work for votes you call, it only works when you cast votes. But I can easily fix that, later.

Mhm. It's still a good idea, especially in big servers where it's too intense for me to pay attention to the votes.
