Constant radar option/mod?

[Carnie The Clown]

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if there was a way to have everything displayed on the radar/minimap/spawnscreen, so that I could see exactly where vehicles and infantry are at all times (and have the time to panic when I see an army of soldiers coming my way).

Before you accuse me of cheating, let me say that I only want to do this for co op and singleplayer, because I only play with bots.

If this possible, please let me know.

Also, is there a way to change the colours of the icons displayed, or even swap out the existing icons for custom ones?

Any suggestions?

Hello. I like your idea, but unfortunately the closest thing that I can think of (that is possible) is to add an object to your soldier that acts like a submarine radar, rotating and scanning for enemies. But the enemies show up as dots on your map. I've heard about a mod like that but don't have a definite way of doing such a mod.

Perhaps you can use code similar to this:

Vehicles/Sea/Common/Objects.con

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.create SonarObject SubmarineSonar
ObjectTemplate.saveInSeparateFile 1
ObjectTemplate.detectionRadius 400.0
ObjectTemplate.scanForEnemySonars c_True
ObjectTemplate.loadSoundScript Sounds/sonarsub.ssc

ObjectTemplate.create SonarObject DestroyerSonar
ObjectTemplate.saveInSeparateFile 1
ObjectTemplate.detectionRadius 400.0
ObjectTemplate.loadSoundScript Sounds/sonardest.ssc

Try adding it (addTemplate) to your soldier's helmet or his weapon kit something. It's an idea but I'm not sure if it'll work.

(Objects/Items/USKit/Assault/Objects.con)

• ObjectTemplate.create Kit Us_Assault
  ObjectTemplate.setType Assault
  ObjectTemplate.setKitTeam 2
  
  ObjectTemplate.setHealthBarIcon "Ingame/Healthbar_empty_assault_64x64.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.setHealthBarFullIcon "Ingame/Healthbar_full_assault_64x64.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Icon_alliesKnife.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Icon_colt.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Icon_bar1918.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Icon_grenadeallies.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Icon_ammopack.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.addWeaponIcon "Weapon/Icon_EmptySlot.tga"
  
  ObjectTemplate.setKitIcon 1 "kits/Icon_assault_allies_selected.tga"
  ObjectTemplate.setKitName 1 "RESPAWN_ASSAULT"
  ObjectTemplate.setKitActiveName 1 "RESPAWN_ACTIVE_ASSAULT"
  
  ObjectTemplate.geometry Kit_Allies_Assault
  ObjectTemplate.setHasCollisionPhysics 1
  ObjectTemplate.networkableInfo KitInfo
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Us_Helmet
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate US_Assault_BackPack
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate US_Hip_Pack
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate NameOfSonarObject
  
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Bar1918
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate Colt
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate KnifeAllies
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate GrenadeAllies
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate AmmoBagSpawner
  
  ObjectTemplate.aitemplate Assault

or

(Objects/Items/USKit/Common/Objects.con)

• ObjectTemplate.create KitPart Us_Helmet
  ObjectTemplate.geometry Us_Helmet
  ObjectTemplate.setBoneName A
  ObjectTemplate.setCopyLinksCount 0
  ObjectTemplate.addTemplate NameOfSonarObject

Or maybe...

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.Active USSoldier
ObjectTemplate.addTemplate NameOfSonarObject

You'd put that code in the ObjectSpawnTemplates.con of your map.
