Title: Team Overlay
Post by: Lecavalier on May 27, 2011, 01:18:48 am
Is it possible to have a teammates location remain visible for a while after he dies? Maybe just for the time he's in spawn queue. I think it would be useful to know where a teammate died and where the person who killed him is.

What, someone exterminated your buddy and want some payback? :laugh:

Another use to this idea. If you don't know where your teammate was building front/new base or assaulting enemy (secondary) base, maybe you have chance to tip the scales for your teams favor. Seems peculiar, but possible.

Yes, there are many uses. I don't think there are any reasons not to do it, I'm just not very tech savvy to do it myself :P.

I think the problem is that the second a player exits a location, their location changes :)

Yes, that's why I'm asking if the location someone is at when they die can remain in the team overlay for a few seconds, despite the change of location :)
