Thread: Tracking a Player's Location / Displaying it on Hud

Is there an easy way to track the player who has been selected as the "rabbit"? I think I've seen this before, but I'm not sure if it exists. In freeze-tag it states the location of where the player is frozen, but I'd like it to be updated in real time as the rabbit moves around the map. Is this possible? Is there code that exists to do this already? If so, I don't have it

Got it. So something like this might work? It's part of the rabbit script:

Code:

level waittill spawn
    
    if (int(getcvar(radarOn)) == 1){
        thread radar
    }

radar:

Code:

radar:
	if(level.setupradar)
		end

	level.setupradar = 1



	local.mapname = getcvar mapname

	local.mapname = waitexec global/strings.scr::to_lower local.mapname

	local.setup = waitthread setup_radar local.mapname

	if(local.setup)
		{
		level.radar = 1
		}
		else 
		{
		println "*****************Radar data not valid for this map - turning Radar off******************"
		end
		}

	exec global/Radar.srd

	while(1)
	{
	for(local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++)
		{
		if($player[local.i].listener != NIL)
			{
			local.result = $player[local.i].origin
			local.pos[0] = ((level.max_y - local.result[1]) / level.ydevider)
			local.pos[1] = ((level.max_x - local.result[0]) / level.xdevider)
			if(local.mapname == obj/obj_team3)
				{
				  if($player[local.i] == level.rabbit){
				    huddraw_rect $player[local.i].listener.hud local.pos[1] local.pos[0] 10 10
				  }
				}
			else
				{
				  if($player[local.i] == level.rabbit){
				    huddraw_rect $player[local.i].listener.hud local.pos[0] local.pos[1] 10 10
				  }
				}
			}
		
	waitframe
	}
end

Figured I'd attach the mod as well to this post.

haha yeah I remember the radar mod :P
I think the original was sorridstrokers or jv_maps.

This reminds me of a suggestion I had in mind maybe its the same or similiar to own3mall's, a mini map with location of players (as you know it from cod games etc.) would be possible ?

yes joto I think sorridstoker made this. search modtheater.com

don't play cod but ppl always tell me of "original features" in cod, which are from quake ..

I know the mod from sorridstroker, its nice and works, but it uses the compass as the background, I meant instead of the compass a minimap as an representation of the actual map, that possible ?

hello all,
I have screenshots of each map and would like to make a pk3 file client-side going to replace the "compassface" with the image of the map, but only for those who have this file
for example (im noob so it's sure wrong...just for explane better)
on client-side pk3

mapshud.scr

main:

local.status = 1
switch(local.maphud)
{
case "dm/mohdm1":
{
local.maphud = "textures/map/southern.tga"
}
break
case "dm/mohdm2":
{
local.maphud = "textures/map/destroyed.tga"
}
break
case "dm/mohdm3":
{
local.maphud = "textures/map/blabla.tga"
}
break
end

on radar mod

for(local.i=1;local.i<=$player.size;local.i++)
{
local.status = waitexec mapshud.scr
if(local.status != 1)
{
local.number = 100
huddraw_alpha local.number 1.0
huddraw_align local.number left center
huddraw_virtualsize local.number 1
huddraw_shader local.number "textures/hud/compassface.tga"
huddraw_rect local.number -25 50 160 160
}
else
{
local.number = 100
huddraw_alpha local.number 1.0
huddraw_align local.number left center
huddraw_virtualsize local.number 1
huddraw_shader local.number local.maphud
huddraw_rect local.number -25 50 160 160
}

it's possible or are the ravings of an ignorant?? lol
tnx very much
