Title: Ability to mark friends(or contacts) with different colors
Post by: Blackhawk on September 03, 2014, 09:49
Sorry if this is already suggested, I did not find it.
Sometimes we would like to see our friends on the map, but everyone is yellow, so if we are not in convoy with friends, we can't see each other. We have to use /loc to check where is someone.
I think it would be a good idea to add ability to mark friends with different colors.
For example if affected player is on contacts list OR mark anyone who approves a marking request(although /loc does not require permission)
Of course yellow, orange, blue, green, red would not be available.

You could have all people in /c as purple or white instead of having different colours, some people have too many contacts possibly.

Useful to find our friends on map?
Would be cool if you type /contacts and then double click on your buddy name and you will be able to choose his color on the radar.

isnt that what /loc or '/pm [name] where r u' is for? 
if you do /loc [name] the map blip will blink letting you know where they are, why do you need them to be a color?

Beacuse we would like to see our friends permanently, not only for a few seconds.
It would be more comfortable than always type /loc or ask players in pm about their location.
Do you understand?

When will you understand it's not laziness? It would be a new feature...

Yeah, of course, I have only /loc command in my console, there is no /work or any commands or conversations, so if I press up arrow, there will be /loc any time. Stop being so silly.

Locking this cause:

We'd have to loop through each player, check your contacts (people have loads) and check what color they are set to. We'd then have to set the color. I dont think this will do the script any good.

/loc exists for that sole reason. You can /loc them. They can /loc you. The icon flashes on the map so you can distinguish who you've located.

Type the thing out manually then. It's really that difficult to type these days?
