Ghost Vision-add toggle for the new HUD system.

Post by genjufens » 21 May 2017, 17:16

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Adding a button or making the medical hud button cycle to allow a ghost player to see the standard HUD marines see for ranks and fireteams. If you added it to the medical hud button it could just cycle between none then medical, then standard.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
This would just be a way to allow ghosted players to see the same HUD the marines are seeing. Just a small visual bonus.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Under the ghost tab, a new verb could be added to toggle that vision type, or it could be added to the medical hud one and made into a cycle between HUD types kind of thing.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Not too familiar with byond code, but I imagine since you have got every marine now using this altered security HUD setup, adding that to a ghost might not be hard?

I don't see why you would need to cycle between squad and medHUD, considering medics can see both. How about ghosts can toggle squadHUD just as they can toggle medHUD?

I am fine with this. I just want to add that hud to ghosts more than anything. It's unimportant to me how we would implement it.

BUMP. As a ghost, sometimes I like to see who is what role in each squad and what they're carrying for that role. This would be really convenient.

Yup! Considering there isn't much to do as observer, at least let's make observing more comfortable!
