Send momentum and threat updates to chat #12

Open mkscho63 opened 3 years ago

mkscho63 commented 3 years ago

POSTPONING FOR MORE FEEDBACK: This one is odd because we wouldn't want necessarily for 3 clicks of lowering momentum to result in 3 individual chat log messages potentially. I could make them very small, but still I'm not sure the usefulness at this point.

I think this is important because few person tray to help so: two players switch momentum plus gm for one task and no one know how much was before ;)

I wanted this feature so I added it myself, before I even noticed there was an open issue for it. I have an idea for buffering the inputs over time, so the message gets sent after, say, two seconds of no further input, posting the total change. However, this will be per-player, the best place to do this I found is local to the person clicking the momentum button. If multiple people start clicking it, it'll get difficult to work out a buffer.

For now I wrote it to paste an update on every click, just a simple message that says "momentum is now: __ " from the user that clicked the button. In testing, it doesn't seem bad at all. Most of the time momentum is only going up or down my 1-3 points anyway. I have a game this weekend which will be the first live use of it, I'll report back with feedback from the other players.

I also added something to do this for Threat, which might be more spammy when your crew really wants to bring a pile of Type-3 rifles to a negotiation.
