6 years ago Also currently it seems to be only possible to issue one timeout during the map per player. Sometimes that's not enough, I think setting a custom amount of timeouts allowed per player or per team with a variable would be the best.
The g_timeoutAllowed cvar sets the timeout limit. So if you set g_timeoutAllowed = 3, each player can call "/timeout" 3 times per game.
It would be nice to have a timein command to resume the game from timeout immediately. Maybe players should be able to timein only on the timeout they called, or the timeout that their teammate called.

Sometimes that's not enough, I think setting a custom amount of timeouts allowed per player or per team with a variable would be the best. Probably It would be good to make an option to only let the privileged players call a timeout, e.g. integrate it into the current admin system https://github.com/OpenArena/gamecode/wiki/Admin or a referee system https://aftershock.wikia.com/wiki/Referee_system This would make it possible to use the timeout feature on the public servers without the possibility of people abusing it. And if a tournament staff member is present on the server they should be able to call the timeout as spectator.
