Server Suggestion Allow canceling healing animations.

[mocho]

Suggestion Title: Allow canceling healing animations.
Suggestion Description: Allow the ability to cancel healing while using Bandages, Splints, or Stims through the C key like you would cancel equipping via the C key.

Why should this be added?:
- To prevent potential stalling while under gunpoint while being stuck in the healing animation, if you can cancel the animation I would suggest it still uses the medical item being used.

What negatives could this have?:
- This could be abused if a user is under gunpoint from another user (Being mugged, etc) and purposefully let themselves bleed out to avoid being mugged or arrested at the off chance an officer does not have any spare bandages.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: The potential of being considered stalling while under gunpoint / 3.4. PS. Sorry Tyrone!!

That max ticket would have been good if @A1L Did not appar from the walls to kill me...
However I agree with this as during the situation earlier made this, basiclly an unintential 3.4 break, I feel like as you already have the ability to do this with some things in the game I feel like this would also be handy as this could avoid diffrent situations like for example someone getting shot and you bandage and you have a opertunity to peak / wallbang as a example

I think this would be insanely OP in pvp if Im understanding the suggestion right, you would be able to start a bandage get the Sound effect to go off and then cancel it in order to bait your enemy to push giving a free kill most likely, i like How it is currently that when you have to use meds its a risk that Youre out of the fight for 5-10 seconds while either you have to get to cover far away or have a teammate hold your back.

This used to be a thing, was it removed?

It'd be cool if you could cancel and it dropped the bandage on the floor or something

You can already cancel bandaging by holding C, however the rest such as splints and stims dont work.
It's a good idea in hindsight.

I meant splint and stims

You already achieve the same affect by cancelling bandages

 

[ICEKILLER_99]

I meant splint and stims

no you didn't lol

stims don't make sound for anyone else except the one using them (I believe) or they are very quiet and the splint is literally the same thing as a bandage in terms of sound and baiting

Splint makes a loud noise and afaik u cant cancel it i could be wrong doe

You can’t cancel splints or stim packs, but if you cancel a bandage you already achieve the same effect as you would by cancelling a splint. Both make a rather loud sound effect.

Hold on, HEALING MAKES NOISE? since when was this a thing, I've never heard anyone make noise bandaging or splints or stimpacking as cop or ems or fire or when i raid once a decade. Unless everyone runs their volume at full tilt I can't see this being an issue. I've never heard bandaging or had me bandaging make people rush me.

It’s always been a thing, it’s really loud and people often rush off the sound queue. You don’t need max volume to hear it. However some players cancel it and use the sound queue as bait to then kill whoever they’re fighting. Only bandages make noise though, not splints or stim packs.

I've never heard people bandaging even when I'm 2ft from them.
