[game/radio] Persist Radio Frequency per radio

[MetaHatter]

Assurance: Have you read through the rules from the README.md file in the root folder of this GitHub repository? Yes

Summary: Write a summary of what your suggestion is about.

• Store the most recent radio frequency per radio
• On Login the radio remembers the frequency
• Radio can be "used" from inventory to set as the active radio
• Add current frequency in hover-over description
• Frequency to be hidden when streamer mode is on. (or add /freq_hide command)
• PD/EMS Radios retain the unlootable flag

Reason: Why would your suggestion be a good change to the framework?

• It makes sense that a radio would remember it's channel regardless of your naps
• Would increase value of radios by adding a reason to carry more than one
• Makes the item into a loot risk as a looter will gain the frequency (PD/rival gangs/etc)
• Would allow people to preset radios for distribution at events, etc.
• Would allow for cold drop radios for RP i.e. "go to this location and take the radio out of the trash and wait for more instructions"
• Streamers would be less prone to revealing the frequency on streams

This is a damn good idea.

damnn this is a really OP suggestion...

I like the idea, BUT what if you have multiple radios on you? When you do /freq which one would remember the freqency? On login which frequency would it use if you have multiple?

Have it default via left to right, top to bottom inventory prio. So, if radio A is in Hotbar slot 1 and radio B is in Hotbar slot 5 it then remembers freq A on login.

• Only one radio would be active at a time.
• "use" the item to make it the active radio.
• /freq would change the frequency of the "active" radio and store it until it's changed.
• If a unique radio id could be assigned, similar to a license plate, a command could be added to allow hotkey selecting it. (i.e. /radio_select Q3E5RT23)

Login could either use the last "active" radio, or simply require the user to "use" the radio they want upon login.

"use" the item to make it the active radio.

what about the radio ui tho

That sounds like a pain and an ugly solution

Radio UI for the "used" radio would show

Open to other suggestions. Would assume most people would just MMB click or "use" the radio they want so may not be necessary at all.

For now i've added it so the last frequency you were on is remembered for each character and you rejoin it when you load back in

Ok i dont really think i'd want the frequency to be on the radio tbh. With it saving on the character i think that already basically does the whole remembering part
