Target Marker SM placement - like the SL - must be close to see

VipersGhost · 01-07-2008, 03:24 PM

This might be a bit out there as far as coding goes.

It would be cool to be able to use a target marker like the SL has, but for SQM's (squad members) to a limited extent. Lets say the SQM could drop a target marker where SQM's that are within a 10m radius could see. It would have to be unobtrusive and different than the SD'ers though and only last a short moment. This would basically be like someone pointing at something. I think it would also support more squad cohesiveness without adding a clunky element.

I don't really want to see the old school insta-spot to everyone in the world etc but I do think a little feature that kinda replicates going "Hey over there" would be nice.

Yes the compass does and thats what we use now but it's not completely effective like running up to some guy and saying "The jerk that shot rico is right THERE." **points**

Eitherway...probably not 100% necessary, just a thought.

I've always thought that. On one hand it would be very helpful, and much easier than trying to describe it over VoIP, but on the other it gives SMs the ability to rangefind, which I don't like.

Or maybe we could have an animation where you guy stick out his hand and manually points his finger. It probably wont be very useful but it would be funny as hell if guys are just running around pointing at each other lol.
