Pick Up, Placement Range indicator

Post by Ranakastrasz »

The grenades have a circle around you showing how far you can throw them. This should be possible, if a toggled option, for everything applicable.

When holding f, display pick up range.
When picking an item to place, display placement range.

Also, if spacebar or c is held down, display weapon range.

When placing turrets or anything else aura-like, display it's range, similar to how power lines currently do.

+1 for this since I've come across plenty of times where it would have been useful.

Let's improve it: When not in range when placing the building, you would put down a ghost building which is placed when you come in range (as long as you have the building). Although that would also be useful if you manage to place the building on where you're standing at that moment.

This could also work the other way around so you could place a ghost building if you're standing on a building site.
