[Feature] Elimination warmup time to behave more like Duel #305

Closed NeonKnightOA closed 6 months ago

I'm a bit confused about how this works, so I can't get a clear idea on how to implement it. Maybe with mods that actually implemented the feature as intended I can get an idea clearer enough to make a proper decision and a proper implementation.

Here are some comments made by ::: about this feature:

to make it behave like in Duel, so you could control yourself when to respawn. meaning respawn during warmap and respawn into spec during game

well, during a warmup, when you were fragged, you could press fire button very fast, respawn fast and have a chance to warm up for some more time. or you could chose not to come back to warm up and sit in this limbo mode the whole warm up till when the round starts. as for "during a round", when you were fragged, you could just press fire button immediately and get into spec mode as fast as possible, not seeing how an enemy butchers your gibs. or you can chose to stay in this limbo mode kinda frozen up for a bit longer and see how the game continues from the place you were fragged, and go to spec later. should not affect the time of initial entering a game round. everybody enter the same time. the point being - to control how fast you can respawn during a warmup and how fast you go into spec after you were fragged during the game. now this time in elimination mode is fixed and can be set by e.g. a mod to be 5 or 10 seconds or whatever, but would be nice to be able to control this time by yourself. by "going into spec mode" i mean when you are fragged and waiting, spectating, till next round starts
