This is quite interesting.

I can see it to be useful in singleplayer maps, where at certain points in the map you come across
one of those walldisplays. Great for orientation.

But in multiplayer games this can be frustating, as you stand there studying the radar, and thusly
present an easy and unattentive target, to be mowed down in the prime of your gamelife.

For the time being I like Grubber's radar, which is a HUD overlay, better, even though it does not
display as much information.

Meh, it's merely an example, however, I believe if implemented properly within a map, you could really have some fun with this.

D00D, now you just need to make it so it appears in the HUD. If you can, of course

Very nice, this is the sort of thing that we need in real life, it beats a 'YOU ARE HERE' sign. It's just a shame it doesn't come with little labels.

Still, thinking realisticly (in a doom sense) that is excellent. I bet it uses GetActor stuff combined with...

...Nah, you can't have done it the way I was thinking, that's too many wall frames. does it get broken by additions to the map? (such as summon monsters) or am I going to have to find out myself?
