Reload while moving

(1/3) > >>

qeurul:
I didnt find this anywhere on the forums, but sorry if its mentioned somewhere before:) So I'd like to see an option to reload while moving, as you could do in real Doom. This was (and would be in rl.. roguelike, not neccessarely in RL) a good way of using double barrel shotgun in original doom, so rush in and reload while escaping.

I believe this would require a third (!) reload key, but here's how it could work. So basically you rush the door, shoot, and then press 'reload while moving' key. Nothing happens yet and you stand still, but when you retreat from the door, doomguy reloads at the same time you're moving back.

What do you say?

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Shottyman I say :)

EDIT: Ok, some more info -- check out the special trait that needs two levels of Reloader xD

TFoN:
That aside, wouldn't it be a better idea to not have to press a button in order to reload while moving, but just make it automatic anyway...? I mean, ther's no reason not to, at least the way you described it.

qeurul:
I think not, because in most cases reloading takes more time than simply moving to a next square (especially when you do not have reload perks). And if you are under too hot fire, you dont want to waste any additional AP's for reloading, but to escape as fast as possible.

Isnt it true Kornel? :)

TFoN:
Most likely, but you didn't mention that in your first post :P

Anyway, if this were introduced, you still wouldn't need a third reload key. You'd 'r'eload which would do nothing yet (like you wrote), and then either move or wait. A wait would cost (these are not necessarily the correct numbers) 10 ticks, the normal cost of reloading, and a move'd cost 14, a blend of a move and reload, each at 2/3 cost of the original 10, rounded up.
