Hiding players/forces toggle

Post by sikian »

Hi dear devs,

I'd like to know if it would be possible to add a RW variable on forces/players to enable them showing in the minimap.
We're currently doing a scenario in which someone helps biters to make it harder for the team to survive (as otherwise it's too easy), and players have an easy time tracking where the biter-helper is doing stuff.

Thanks!

Moved to modding interface requests.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Players of other forces don't show up unless you've got a radar that scans the area - which is the entire point of the radar.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Well, yeah, but what if you want to disable them being shown even if there's a radar.
Other uses could be cloaking devices or jammers.

Thanks for answering
