Action menu \'problem\'

Recommended Posts

I can be stood over a dead guy and up pops the action menu ie pick up M16/ hide body/ etc/ etc but to get back to my personal menu (put on NV, reload/ etc) I have to move away from the body. Is there any way to select other menus without having to move.

Another example- This can happen infront of an ammo crate, that action menu is for ammo crate actions and I cant select my own actions without moving away! sad.gif

Any ideas?

While we are on the subject of the Action menu, there are two things that I'd like to see fixed. Both of them only happen occasionally, but enough to be annoying.

The first is duplicate action items. Sometimes the same item (such as 'Take M16 Magazine') will appear more than once on the menu, and not necessarily adjacent to each other. It means that there are extra items to scroll through to find what you really want.

The second problem is that of items flip-flopping or moving while the menu is being displayed. If you are driving a vehicle and are braking in preparation to get out, and bring up the Action menu before the vehicle comes to a stop, I usually see the 'Eject' and 'Turn engine off' items flip-flop until the vehicle is stopped. At that point, 'Eject' gets replaced with 'Get out', and the menu items stop moving. With the menu items constantly moving, it is impossible to select what you really want.

It would be nice to have a weight assigned to each menu item, so that they sort consistently. Alternatively, you could sort the menu items alphabetically, but I would prefer the former, because it would allow you to sort important or often-used items to the top of the menu. Also, why not make the Action menu taller, so that you can see more items at once?

You can just scroll in your action menu, there are all available functions...

Not always. Sometimes there may be four options and I HAVE to move to a different location to be able to select the regular options.

Also the vehicle actions need to be more 'sensitive'. You have to literally be looking at a car door to choose the get in car option - it would be nice to have my back to the door (firing) and then select to get in.

i get that too. if you go to an ammo crate and take ammo the only options in the menu relate to taking ammo etc.. you have to hit r for reload and then you can get the normal options like switching weapons or reloading.

I dont think you people understand.

The problem you are describing is easily fixed if you keep scrolling the action menu with your scroll mouse or whatever.........

I always have the actions i want availible to me... though if im near an ammo crate i have to scroll down the action menu to get back to normal ones... like changing gun ones.
