Indicator for "pass me the flag"

Granted, I'm a rookie, but when someone is calling to pass them the flag, I just don't have the time to look at the chat to determine who it is, than locate him in the gameworld, than pass the flag.

It would be cool if the color of such a player would change, or some sort of indicator would appear. It would help with teamplay, I'm sure.

What about chat spams and trolls.
Not against the idea, sounds great, im courious if something like this is possible(with minimum modifications)

The mod shouldn't be too distracting. I would suggest something simple like radio bars -> (( )), around the triangle of the player asking for the flag. Or something like blinking of the IFFs.

Fluke, very nice idea.

PLEASE do something for "I am going for the enemy flag.".
To stop everybody's tags becoming an seizure inducing colours, maybe the ring around the flag could change colour.

... and maybe a flashing "kill this guy" indicator whenever anyone llamas.

Honestly, the IFF could use a lot of upgrades IMO. With deployables and whatnot, we may want to go over them in general and modify a few things.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to do this, to get familiar with the code. I was able to get it flashing easily, just need to make the scripts trigger it for certain quick chats.

if your gona make it flash plz don't make the trigger "pass me the flag", ctrl's arrow would look like a Christmas tree the whole match

make it chage color over flashing, like turn it blue...unless ur colorblind....ugh

and maybe it could blink in some vibrant colour too?
it could, but we dont want it to be too annoying haha

the majority of "colour blind" modes usually include blue, since "red-green" colourblindness is the most common.

and im pretty someone(nighhawk?) made a colourblind theme for legions already. the IFF is blue and something

Correct. As someone who is colorblind and use the red/blue team colors, I can say that changing colors would be a bad idea. I'd say just make the icon change and perhaps have some sort of antenna radio waves animation.
