(semi) New HUD element for the medics?


(solace_) #1

Hi people,

I was thinking that it might be a good idea to add revive indicators like they have grenade indicators in other games. What I mean is that whenever there is someone to revive and they are not directly on the screen, a revive symbol would appear on the edge of the screen (closest to the downed merc) pointing that they are somewhere behind you.

I think this would help everyone out, because everyone forgets to take a gander around sometimes. :slight_smile:

We do have an option that kinda does this.

I haven’t tested if this will also show downed teammembers, I think it does.

I just tested it and it does, I’m talking not about name tags but a permanent HUD element for the medics so you don’t have to push a button to see who is down.

Looking at friendly names/health in the main hud shows their current merc in a red hue if said character is down, if its a red skull, they’ve been executed.

If you mean the revive icon showing you where they are, I’m pretty sure the revive heart appears on the edge of the screen to indicate to the player where to turn to see where a nearby fallen friendly player is.

i think the heart only shows up when you hit the button… and also when you use that feature it isnt exactly noticeable.
