Hide markers when not in field of view

[Fadden]

Hi,

I would display the markers added from script (not the players' labels) only if there are in the field of view. By default the display is :


In this screen the 2 markers "Goal" are above 2 poles. But as I can't see these poles, I would that these markers aren't shown for me.
I haven't found any mathod to do that. Is this possible ?

[steeffeen]

i don't think there is an easy way to do that :/

the only possibility which i can image is doing something like:
- build the markers with manialinks
- check in the script of the manialink if the player is heading in direction of the marker and hide specific markers accordingly

I just saw that it's possible to add visibility="WhenVisible" on the markers.

There's indeed a "visibility" parameter on the <marker /> tag now. It can take the same values than the player's markers, which are:
- Never
- Always
- WhenInFrustum (the object is in the field of view of the player, even behind a wall)
- WhenVisible (the object is in the field of view of the player, but not behind a wall)
- WhenInMiddleOfScreen

Very nice thanks !

Akbalder how do you find this before Eole said this ? Random tries ?^^
I haven't see this parameter in the doc

Read all the the Maniascript files of Nadeo!
(It was in the melee gamemode)

Or simply read the maniascript source file.

Code: Select all

enum ELabelsVisibility {
 None,
 Never,
 Always,
 WhenInFrustum,
 WhenVisible,
 WhenInMiddleOfScreen,
};
