All Networks Kit Previews

[DrHam]

Currently, the only way of knowing what are the kit's content is by either reading or having memorized the kit's content. I think that could be improved by adding some kind of kit preview using NPCs (similar to those found on the lobby).

Why? It can help new players or those who have a rather limited knowledge of english (kit's contents aren't translated). How could it help? Players would literally see themselves with the kit's contents, so you can quickly get an idea if the kit will fit your style or if it's any good.

As I suck at explaining stuff, here's a video:

Don't say "it's hard to make" or similar because implementing it on my Kingdom Wars plugin took me 10 minutes

@iSniper27 mind explaining why you voted no?

Hmm, its a epic idea, but i will love to see more kits instead of only tank and other stuff, maybe something funny or some redstone resources for trapping, i would love to see one

Shouldn’t be too hard to cycle through all the stuff the kit consists of, nor show the blocks.

I think seeing my kit would be nice. Helps people that aren’t as experienced pick a kit they might like. Also, it would be nice if you could also trial a kit, meaning you play one round with it to see if you enjoy it. Just one question, would the preview only be shown on client side or server side?

What do you mean? If you mean all players or just the one who’s selected it, I’d say the latter is better

Yes, just the one who’s selected it. I was just wondering what you preferred. Because personally I think seeing everyone’s kit would be annoying.

lol why would someone suggest something like that in the first place

Well, I like the idea, it will be helpful for the players, which are not speaking or even understanding English.

But I think it will be better to make it without NPC. Just to right-click the kit you want to view and that's it - left-click to buy it.

Anyway, I agree with the idea regardless if the kit preview will be with NPC or something else.

That's already implemented (you can see kit's contents in a weird way, just the content in an inventory-like view
