Widget Request: Commander Name Tags

Post by SiN »

Something so simple, is missing!

In big team games, you forget who is what color, and where they spawned.

To easily know who's commander is attacking, a nametag would be simple and useful. Yeah, it may only save half a second of glancing down at the bottom right corner of your screen, or hovering over the Com. But sometimes you need every moment.

I know, I know, I should be learning Lua and doing this myself, but, I'm lazy. Honestly.

It should work with enemy/ally commanders, but you shouldn't be able to tell if something on radar is a Commander by seeing the name tag, it'll have to be the Commander blip in order for the name tag to appear, for legitimacy.

Is it a good idea?

I'd like that actually, jj could build it into healthbars- a team coloured nametag above or below the model :)

Sometimes players have the same or similar colours, having a name tag under the commander or sub commanders/decoys would be very useful.

This is particularly useful, especially in Comshooter.
