In all honesty this would be nice so I can come back from Rambo. Jk I dun do it. But in all seriousness this would help new players who aren't familiar with the map. New players guide. Gooo +1

Could probably be implemented with existing code.

Re: squad leader tracker/what killed xeno hive message
I'd like it to display when any squadmate dies. It wouldn't say where or why, but it would send a message saying "Cpl. Joe Schmuck has flatlined!" It was in the movie and we already have code that could be loosely modified.

+1, and +1 to monkeys idea as well.
Anything to help keep a squad informed and working together.

This could be difficult/laggy.
Imagine, we'd sometimes have litearlly 80 trackers, each pointing at different things, constantly updating.

Re: squad leader tracker/what killed xeno hive message
Also to make it less laggy, you could use a tag that assigns the kill shot to a marine. However, The kill shot won't exactly represent who dealt the most damage. This system is too robust for byond, but overall a good idea.
-1 because apop is right, there is no way to make this not suck for the servers lag issues.

I'd really like to see this in, just to add to the "Oh fuck" when suddenly you see that half your squad just died thanks to a error in firing the OB.monkeysfist101 wrote:I'd like it to display when any squadmate dies.
