Actor Flag: +NOSCANNER

Postby silentzora » Mon May 21, 2012 1:39 pm

Here's the deal. I've found that when working on a mod that includes blood that stays around for a while, adding a Scanner-type powerup (reveals ALL actors on the map) can be quite nasty. Since Scanner items show every last thing, you can quite easily tell where big battles have occurred... But you can't see map features because of all the clutter. Blood, shell casings, you name it.

Is it possible to maybe add a flag that foils Scanner powerups for just such a thing, similar to how +NOFEAR foils fear-inducing powerups?

...Or the opposite (sort of): A type of scanner powerup that will only show actors on the map that you want to see, paired with a flag applied to actors you want shown. Since in a mod, there may be more actor types that you don't want shown than ones you do.
