Author Topic: Radar  (Read 2522 times)

A circular radar that shows your position and the position of enemies.

The ideal radar would be one that works with Spaceguy's TDM mod and shows where teammates are at all times but only shows enemies when they fire a weapon. If this isn't possible, whatever.

Can anyone make this or is it too complex?

Too specific, clientside would mean sending a ton more data to each individual player.

I've been working on this recently. It semi-works.

Wasn't there some kind of way to display peoples positions with ping or something? I can't remember who I heard this from but I remember it was from.scripting player. But my general question, is this really possible at it's most basic form of just displaying player's position.

I wouldn't know. The only semi-radar thing I've seen available is the compass... and that doesn't do squat.

It would definitely be better if the mod worked for the server, but it would work by player using their position...

I have no idea if this is even possible.

I Think The Bottom Img Is A Good Use For Minigames. Red Dots=Enemey      Green Dots=Friendly         Black Dots=You




PS-This Would Be Awsome For Trench TDMs

If it was client sided it wouldn't be a fair match becuase some player wouldn't have it while some do.

No, this would definitely have to be serverside.

Now all it needs is to be able to show bricks as well..
No Baseplates/plates, radar would go through that, just walls would show...

It has to be both client sided and server sided.

That would lag.

Thought there'd be a catch, just throwing it out there...

I support, it would be serversided, and i think you should combine it with compass (directions and waypoints)

And, make an ability to transmit location to someone by his BL ID, this will be useful in big maps such as paradise islands etc

I don't think this should be combined with the compass and waypoints, it would make the radar too confusing. We want players to be able to glance at it for a split second and understand the possitions of everyone.

And Paradise Island is a small map lol.
