So for example P1 joins server after restart has ID 1 P2 has ID2
P1 leaves the server while P3 leaves but P3 will still have ID 3
Server restarts and then P3 is first to join and gains ID 1
Simple? Idk, and also being able to grab an ID off of a person so fetching out of their pockets when they are handcuffed.
Or.... a recognise system?
Great idea,
Meta gaming by seeing someone's name above their head or seeing it come up when they talk is super easy to do and very hard to "pretend to not see".
Having an ID system means that you can still report the ID of whoever just rdm'd you, ran you over, ran in the middle of a deal and ruined RP, etc etc while still avoiding this unavoidable information (their name) you are given.
How would the recognise system work though?
Would it be that i can "request to recognise" my friend or new business acquittance and then they would have to accept this request which would then allow me to see their Name, steam PFP, height, nationality etc?
Or would it be that once i have a bad interaction with 'Greg Duke' (for arguments sake) and get his name that i can add his name to my own "recognised list" which would still allow me to still get his name whenever i interact with him.
recognise system yes plz
