Title: Idea for a dot command...
Post by: BigR on January 29, 2013, 04:27:47 PM

Had an idea the other night....It would be nice to have a dot command that returned the last salute that you received. Maybe ".rs" ? Not sure if anyone else has had this idea before, but I think it would be a welcome, and pretty to easy implement addition.

I like the idea, When I actually do get one :noid it is at many times difficult to return the salute in a timely fashion.  Whether I am still somewhat engaged or because the name as dropped from the chat buffer and I can not remember its exact spelling.

  +1  My problem is trying to spell the callsign correctly when I return a salute.   :salute

I like this Idea, but could it be made to return all salutes in the last min to a max of 5? i.e. If you land you can end up with 3-6 salutes and the .rs would only get the last one if added like in the OPs wish. To stop spamming a short log can keep those saluted within the last 1 min so that it would not repeat it if someone else salutes you after you return the .rs to the first group.

+1! That's a great idea. I have actually augured a few times after winning a fight being distracted trying to type "<S>" (http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb426/Danny_Winters/BluBerryLaugh_zpsf15f0bf6.gif)
