Radar

[Mr. Bill]

Well I may as well post my idea now.My idea is basically No-Jet Playertype but instead of having a view from behind the player when you hit tab it shows the top-down view.

So the views you would have to switch between would be:

First Person
Top-Down
This is an idea for a radar type scheme.

Couldn't the server get position of the player and the bricks?
It seems logical if it could.

Yeah but that would require that both client and server have the mod lol

Wouldn't people have to download it to join?
Why not make it not work unless both people have it, and maybe have a reminder to download it so it works.

Sorry if this has been said, but this would be possible (client sided) if badspot hadn't locked rotation of x acis for camera view :u

Client: Player Radar

Server: Brick Radar

If we can't get it to work then I think my idea will do for now.

Yes I know its a bump, but this is a great topic.  Bill, I think your idea is a good one, the only change to it I would make is that in Top-Down mode, the player shouldn't be able to turn or move the camera.  This way its sort of like a map popping up.  You see your player and the map, but you have to close the map to move.  Discuss.

No Jet Radar Playertype?

I'm pretty sure you could edit the rear-view mirror to do something like this. You would just have to get the image from the top instead of from behind you, and extend how far away the area from where you are receiving the image from. The only problem I see with this if it is possible is when, for example, if you look straight down, then you would see what's in front of you if you were looking up :3 I, am not sure what I'm talking about.

You haven't read the topic have you? That theory has been disproved several times.

My idea is about the closest we'll get to a radar scheme for now. I may attempt to create a beta version but I highly doubt I'll ever release it. It would probably turn out like crap.

Thanks for the support.
