that's pretty awesome!

, but I found a bug, Summoned things don't show up on the radar.

Heh thats becuase it has to be based off Thing IDs

There is a way around that i think, if you make all of the monsters in decorate activate a script that sets them a TID, you could (theoretically), get it to where any and all spawned monsters could have a TID

is there a way so it dosen't have to be based off of thing ids?

That could be used to your advantage, actually. The radar could be used only to locate objectives on a nonlinear map (hint! hint!)

Yeah, that way you couldn't cheat and see monsters and other players and stuff.

I like that radar quite much. Though, is it possible for it to show more than one object that has the same TID, or does each thing that you want to show up need it's own TID?

Check out my old one too: http://forum.zdoom.org/potato.php?t=5385

That one's pretty cool, too. Seems more useful for important objectives, while the other radar just brings up things that are nearby. Though is there any way to increase the range of Richard213's radar at all, to make it a bit more useful for finding things?

So I guess now it's time for someone to make a Lethal Tender/Terminal Terror style radar.

And to think, the calculations made in this all stemmed from the vehicles camera script

Heh, you just gave me an idea for the radar() command.

Each thing has to have its own TID

Ah, alright. Not too big of a problem. It's still incredibly effective.
