Sleeping ?

AlSim · Post by **AlSim** » 18 Apr 2006, 10:26

I saw two hi-level players asleep, I asked them how they did that but they didn't answer (which is normal, as nobody can talk while sleeping, but ...).
Can somebody please tell me what's the use of sleeping and how do you do that (I couldn't find it in the help or anywhere) ?

Sleeping? I wasn't aware of it.

maybe they were just dead and didn't bother to respawn?

One thing is for sure; they were resting in peace.

Yeah, maybe they were dead after all

I thought they were sleeping because they stayed there for a long time !
Well they looked asleep, btw it would be fun if you added this feature

Haha i thought the same thing.

What would sleeping achieve though? Employing needs in games has a novel interest level to it, but gets old quick.

Haggard, moderate yourself, man...

Haggard, you are really going to be slapped...
Back on topic: I suggest use that dead animation maybe with those Zzzz things (which are not necessary IMHO), it would be nice feature and easy to implement I think. We have more important things to put our art work artists time to, but if something can be done nicely using material we already have, why not?

Regards.

i wouldn't force people to sleep in regular intervals. it would be a quite boring and annoying gameplay feature.

i thought more about it as an indicator that the player is afk. when the player doesn't do anything for a long time (like 10 minutes) his/her character gets bored and takes a nap.
