Author Topic: A simple compass/xyz indicator.  (Read 1397 times)

Not that this is the biggest nuisance in this game, but it would be nice to have something to take the guesswork out of North/South/East/West and xyz measurements (more xy than z) besides setting up a little pole with the information on it...

Meh, I memorized the x,y coordinates for bedroom. Along with north/south/east/west. But, this is a problem for empty maps, such as slate.

When you spawn, make a brick, make emitter = laserA pointing north.
Simple, seeing as you'd have to make a brick to make a compass anyway.

By compass, I meant a little thingaling on your HUD.

 Would be somewhat useful.

North = +Y = Towards poster in Bedroom
East = +X = Towards door in Bedroom


Anything that might need to "go north" or "go +Y" would probably be a brick for projectiles etc. - just spawn a temporary Laser emitter going north and work out the other directions from there.


Why not a Compass that just points north, with some sort of gui-thing, and a marking system that marks where your standing and when a command is acctivated a arrow appears and points to the marked area
