Inspired by the recon plane topic.


You know about the Rear-View Mirror add-on right? Well, thats what I image this to be kind of like, except there is a certain add-on that is needed to activate it for 30-45 seconds (Random number generation?)

Heres how it works in theory:

Grab Item
Use Item
A small-medium size square shows up in the top-right corner.
The square displays what you would see from a top-down camera 20 bricks above
The "radar" is not effected by bricks.
You cannot see inside buildings.
Anyone visibly seen will have their name displayed.*

*If possible

It seems possible because of the RVM add-on.

This should definitely be possible... and would be interesting. However, 20 bricks above won't give you a very large view.

I was going to say 50 but that seemed to much.

Saying that 64x is the largest base... that sounds better. Depends on the view you wish to give the player.

From what I understand, the RMV adds a camera facing backwards to a fixed point on the player, so if the player looks up, the camera looks down and vice-versa. If you use that with a radar, what you would get is a camera that is always looking at the top of your player, not directly down at it.

[Wesley Williams]

It would be something totally new, however.

But even if the camera is looking down on the player from high up, this could still be useful for TDM's in tight spaces so you could see where possible attackers are.

Isn't that what it is meant for?
