Server Suggestion Facetime App

[PotatoAnimation]

Suggestion Title: Facetime App
Suggestion Description: Add a new app to the phone for facetiming people. This would be hilarious and would be widely used on the server.

Why should this be added?:
- Would be a awesome new feature to have on the phone

What negatives could this have?:
- Development Time

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Gives Sindarin something to do (he said it theoretically maybe would be possible to develop).

Useful Images:

Edit:
For people that mentioned it would not work due to rendering distances etc, we already have dispatch cameras that function basically the same way this would, they just need to move with the players phone.

why are people downvoting this? It would be so nice to have!

 

[PARANOIA]

If it is possible I think it would be hilarious, I'd love to facetime @leaf and show them what bullshit im up to.
Though i think it could get a bit complicated with people being able to get info from the facetime and act on it, possibly making it more unclear if who killed you is metagaming ect.
if that isnt a concern I'd love this

it would be awesome, i just don't know how it would work with the way the map is rendered. The models themselves would probably be "easy" enough, but the locations in the background might not work due to the skybox and rendering distance.

Not only should this be added, but a front and rear end camera function so you can show things in multiple perspectives if you want. It would also make RP better for friends who want to commit crimes together. They would actually have proof their friend was shot or hurt or whatever.

Also could there be performance and networking issues, having a dozen calls at a time could be hard to maintain. maybe if they add a cooldown or smthng

Not to be that guy but what use would it serve?
This seems like adding stuff for the sake of it.
1 - Doing a facetime call on 128 players when the servers lagging yea no thanks
2 - Seems pointless to me, Its like the camera app, I don't see people use that much, It would be another app that 1 person may use
3 - What RP could you make other then just where are you let me look at where you are, or Theres a guy over there and showing the camera
4 - Would that not break some rules if you use it to gather info?

I could be completely wrong but it don't seem like a worthwhile idea imo

"1 - Doing a facetime call on 128 players when the servers lagging yea no thanks"
Yea if that happens I don't think this should be added I agree
"2 - Seems pointless to me, Its like the camera app, I don't see people use that much, It would be another app that 1 person may use"
Everyone I know loves the camera app and shares silly selfies : ) discord servers I'm in love adding a perp selfies channel, that's a you/your friends problem. For example people use it to 'live stream' as roleplay like Maya and Dick Harris has done
"3 - What RP could you make other then just where are you let me look at where you are, or There's a guy over there and showing the camera"
If you cant find rp with this that's a you problem
"4 - Would that not break some rules if you use it to gather info?"
Of course not, your character saw it your character can use the info

Though I agree it may be more effort than its worth if it causes issues and lag, but if those aren't concerns in development I see no problem

Again thats why I put I could be wrong at the bottom as again not really been play as you know i been sent to the gulag for 6 months so again i could be wrong however from what it feels like to me the idea is just padding for the sake of it.
Also with point 3 thats just rude i can RP just fine I just personally think it would be a time waster

U know i try to be humble so if people want this i would eat my words u know but im willing to bet 75% of people would use it once and then use it once every blue moon thats my point but again i been proved wrong before

I didnt mean to be rude I'm sorry about that, more just you can make rp with anything and a lot of perp players refuse to rp and complain about changes for rp so a point being made of "how rp" sounded like those people but I do know from what I've seen of you, you know how to rp mb

 

[Leqq]

It seems that the idea would be cool and it would add more joy facetiming with eachother, however it looks like in the practice it might be to complicated no?

Na it completely fine im sorry if i took it outta context aswell (also this is my peak RP hahaha https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mibmGkTpo21Yh6vru)

back on topic a sec tho, I get why people would I just personally think it be filler for the sake of it, thing is its like another suggestion i seen of cookie clicker that one i would like because people formed things because of it (im sure at one point a org if you where in said org u had to be like top 10 or something dumb in one of the phone games u know like having a laugh) but again facetime just feels like its just not needed

I don't think there would be an issue with lag in terms of the facetiming. The coders here have done a pretty good job with the current content they have with 12 players

We already have dispatcher cameras that work

BAHAHAHA WE NEEDED THIS WHEN YOU WERE STUCK IN THE TREE

 

[Dekkrior]

Yeah but those work by teleporting your camera to the camera itself, not by separately rendering it IIRC
