Give ghosts verbs to zoom out their view, similar to binoculars

Post by Challenger » 05 Jul 2017, 04:14

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Title. Wouldn't it be fun to watch a battle be fought in birds-eye view, or just zoom around the landscape taking in all the troop movements and admiring the architecture?

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Mappers get some appreciation, big battles can be more easily observed

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): A lot of servers implement this by zooming you in and out when you scroll in and out, but just a verb that lets you choose your zoom level would be great too

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): theft of other servers' code
(outdated) guides to: squaddie | medic loadouts | FOB design | macros.
