Thing-specific Automap vectors?
I'm aware that one can define custom vector graphics for the player's arrow, but what abour for non-player Things shown on the automap, having their own Vectors defined? Like, showing monsters as Xs, Items as Os, etc.; preferably without/replacing the triangle normally shown with a scanner powerup.

Re: Thing-specific Automap vectors?
It seems only players and keys can have custom vectors, judging from what the wiki says on map arrows.

And upon further messing around, Zandronum doesn't even do as much as ZDoom in this regard, either. Zan completely ignores custom key vectors, only applying those for the player...

Re: Thing-specific Automap vectors?
Chances are that's because it hasn't caught up to the version that added that feature.
