Description
Point out points of interest to your friends.

//

Add another level of tactic to any gamemode you play. Is there something interesting "over there-ish?" Forget half-baked location callouts, just hit a button and mark it in the world.

Location Pinging is an addon for any gamemode to help you and your friends communicate easier. Open your config menu with st_ping_config, send and accept requests, then ping with st_ping_loc. It's that easy!

Using the built-in config menu, each player can decide whose pings they want to see and be notified of. Once they've set up their whitelist, both players' pings will be shown to each other, and only each other, unless someone has added a few more people. The ping takes the form of a player-colored circle with an exclamation point inside, followed by a sound and notification.

Each player can decide who gets to see their pings, and whose pings they want to see, and either player can cancel sharing at any time.

I made this while playing with Vector:ToScreen() for a thing I want to do.

This should work properly in all gamemodes.

how do i remove pings?

i love this addon but I wish i could turn off the system where you have to request the ability to show someone else your pings or to view someone else's pings. i mostly play coop maps with my friends so there's no real reason to have it, and it's a huge inconvenience to have to open the console, type in the command, click all my friends, then tell my friends they have to do the same and accept the requests they get as well.

Probably would be even better as a STool

You can do it so that the ping would show on the edges of the screen, how do we not look at it?
