Looking for "ping" feature from Elite mode

[zargono]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a feature from Elite in the scripts, but I don't understand where it is.

In Elite, when a defender is looking at the attacker, there is a marker on the attacker for all the other defenders so they can see him through walls.

I tried to play around with CUIConfig::OpposingTeamLabelsVisibility, but I can't seem to find where the feature is in Elite.Script.txt or ModeSport.Script.txt

Did someone ever find this?

CUIConfig::OpposingTeamLabelsVisibility should be exactly what you're searching for!
the name tags are handled automatically and there is nothing else to do than setting how this automatic handling should work (always, never and so on)

what exactly are you missing?

If you want ping like Elite (that allows its allies to see the opponent) you have to use this command.

Code: Select all

UsePlayerTagging = True;

[steeffeen]

isn't that just the old variant that you have to actually ping the opponent?

Code: Select all

UsePlayerTagging = True;

Thank you so much! That's what I was looking for!

@steefeen: It's the new variant. But it might mean that we can't use the old one anymore. I don't need it at the moment but it could be useful to have it as an option.

@Nadeo: It would be nice to have more customisation over this tagging feature, for instance setting how long you see the marker after losing sight of the opponent, or being able to know if a player is being tagged.
