Walkie Talkie for survivors to buff soloQ
Basekit ability for all survivors, does not require an item.
Pressing the assigned button starts a short animation where the survivor pulls out their walkie talkie.
As soon as the animation is finished a wheel of preset messages opens and you can select which one you want to send out.
Selecting any phrase will make a local sound of radio static or cracking or something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvbIOVXpoKE
This soundeffect can be heard by the killer if they are close.
The phrase will be received by all other survivors, showing on the left.
The animation can started during any action, such as healing, repairing a generator or being chased. It does not cancel any of those actions nor slows you down.
Phrases include "Repairing Generator", "Rescuing from Hook", "Killer Nearby", "Being Hunted", "Hiding", "Hex Spotted", "Blessing a Totem", "Healing", "being healed"
Other uses for the Walkie Talkie is a ping function.
Pinging an object reveals its aura for 5 seconds to all survivors as well as makes a message with a picture of the pinged object appear next to their icon.
You may ping the killer. You yourself cannot see the auras of objects you pinged.
Only the killers location will be highlighted, not the killer themselves. Think of it like the purple glyph aura except it doesnt move.
There may be more situational phrases like "We are facing X killer", "the killer has X perk", "I have X perk". Not too sure how to implement these.
Sending messages has 5 stacks with a 5 second cooldown inbetween. Sending a message removes one stack.
1 stack is regained every 10 seconds. This is to make these messages not spammable as well as a somewhat limited ressource.
This is just to discourage needless pinging or message spamming.
