Radar implant

Post by Smoopadoop » #179393

Why not a Solitron radar from MGS as a traitor item, or just a dumb fluff item? As an alternative to xray vision or whatever.
Make it an implant, and have it brings up a window with a pixel map of your surroundings, a bit bigger than the size of your screen. Doesn't show any detail, only shows walls (or anything that cannot be walked through), airlocks, floors, people, and their line of sight.

Like this:
The player is standing in the bridge, and someone is in EVA storage or whatever it's called. The blue field is their line of sight.

The field of view thing is kind of dumb, but if this was vague enough like to including random maint mice and corpses that'd be pretty cool.

Yes! This is a cool idea. It looks like one of those DOS games or something.

Definitely an interesting idea, but it would be easier to have it toggleable like a changelings thermal vision, but instead a HUD icon to the top left. I definitely think it would be a fantastic addition if balanced right, but would likely need to cost quite a lot due to it being a purchasable high effort x-ray vision.

How about instead make existing items, like camera bugs, less shit?
