I know you can set up proximity sensors and shit, but that only helps if people have the presence of mind to do it which they never do which is why this is a problem in the first place.
The reason people don’t simply “ask for things” is often because there’s nobody to ask. On bigger maps this is especially annoying because your yells won’t even appear on their screen either in chat OR runechat, and some people just straight up don’t pay attention to comms.
A bell you can ring that makes a sound that anyone in the department can hear is an incredibly simple and elegant solution for all of this.
clown can sit outside the department with a golden fucking horn while blasting black midis on the clown horn and an electric guitar simultaneously, why is any of that shit in the game? This isn’t a valid argument at all.
Yes it is, because if the bell sounds through the whole department, then the whole department is going to hear it, rather than just where the clown is when his playing his horn. You can just go somewhere else if clown is annoying you, but as long as you stay in the department your gonna hear the bell.
