Togleable buttons

(1/2) > >>

Killers:
I would like to see the buttons as toggle's instead of them being separate e.g Blind and Unblind when you went on one use and blinded him the button would change to unblind and go to another user and the button would still say blind. I do not mean a button that says Blind/Unblind i mean so it actually changes so Blind then it deletes unblind and adds Unblind if you know what i mean

Megiddo:
Too confusing to end users, and more difficult to code.

Killers:
I dont get how it would be more confusing. I spend ages trying to find each little un command e.g unblind. be so much easier and look better with a toggle button.
I only really know web based coding. coudnt you do something like a if <name> blinded show button unblind or something like that.

JamminR:
I believe we attempted something like this before, and it was only with the 'god/player damage' toggles.
That was difficult enough to figure out when looking at the interface.
Trust me. It's not pretty.

As for the coding, Megiddo is right. We try to keep it simple.
The way we have it now, no dynamic menu update is necessary. This would/could greatly complicate the code.
With the way you're suggesting, an update would need to be done for each individual client.

It's confusing to end users because they won't know what they player's current state is (or if the menu updates they'll have to look through the dynamically changing buttons to see the current state). With it placed as it is, it's not hard to find what you want since it's all alphabetically placed. When I click unblind, I don't have to worry about accidentally hitting it twice, messing it up if another admin tries to do the same thing at the same time, or wondering what state they started out in.
