[ Feedback / Request ] Prop Hunt

I have always been a fan of the game mode prop hunt. But I think with some small feedback prop hunt will feel like a much more solid game mode. Currently our team is working on a prop hunt game mode.

Prop-o-Matic:
The prop-o-matic is an amazing item that lets the player transform themselves into a prop. Currently when changing into a prop, getting eliminated and respawning onto a new team results in messed up collision for the player. This bug doesn’t happen every time but it happens often enough to be a real annoyance when you’re just trying to play a prop hunt map. I have reported this as a bug. Player turned into a prop has weird collision issues when respawned

When a player tries to become a prop that is on the disallow list, the prop-o-matic bugs out and the player is unable to become any prop unless they switch weapons.

Another point of feedback is that you can’t force the player in or out of a disguise. I want to be able to gather a selection of props and when the game starts the player is already one of the selected props, without them having to select the prop.
The only way to get players out of a prop disguise is eliminating the player or ending the round which isn’t ideal and results in the buggy state of the bug report above.

Taunt:
When changed into a prop the player has an option to taunt the hunters. This Taunt sound is very quiet we have noticed. It would be great if there was an option to control the Taunt volume - since some experiences use background music it would be amazing to control the volume so the taunt can still be heard by hunters.

Being able to customize the Taunt sound would be amazing as well. Sometimes a whistle is not enough to get the attention of those pesky hunters :wink:

Prop-o-Matic Manager:
The last update this device got was a disallow list - which is amazing btw! It has never been easier to not allow players to become certain props.

Can’t hide prop contextual controls - you can only hide all contextual controls through the HUD Controller which isn’t ideal. Adding an option to the Prop-o-Matic Manager to hide the contextual controls would be amazing!

Would like to see an option so we can add our own widget for the default prop ping HUD element, we can almost do this on most devices so the prop-o-matic manager would be a great fit! Would love to theme this HUD element with the rest of the custom HUD we have going on. It is also impossible to change the widget position of the prop ping HUD element, adding this will also be a great help.

Adding a custom sound through the device would be amazing as well, so when a prop get pinged with the option Ping Hidden Props On Interval we would be able to customize that and add our own asset in it’s place.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this post :slight_smile:
