Summary0000677: Taunt Anti-Spam Suggestion
DescriptionSince the taunt button is just a bind to make a sound in Player's actor, it is possible to make this same bind only works when the last sound was reproduced entirely?
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI was analyzing how Skulltag's Taunt works, erm, so simple because it's just a simple bind to make the Player actor play the specified sound of Taunt and if you literally hit repeatedly this, it will cut the last sound reproducing a new one in the same channel as everyone knows.

But if might had a method to make this bind only plays the sound again if the last was ended?

I mean, this will prevent some players from annoy others with the taunt, but without removing/disabling the taunt option.

I don't know about that. It may actually sound more annoying since some taunts are intolerable when played in full repeatedly.
IMO there are two things that could help:
1) The taunt sound's cutoff distance could be made a lot shorter.
2) The Ignore command could be expanded to include taunt sounds.

I keep thinking that taunts used to work like that, but I can't check since older versions of Skulltag don't run on my computer.

Wouldn't this be bad when there are skins with random taunts with varying times? How would other clients be informed about your spam and that the sound finished playing?

^Plus, how would the engine know how long the sound is, at all?

Actually, you might be able to do this with a PWAD using just a one line in SNDINFO. Specifically, the $SINGULAR property. I *think*.
