Axyl's Target Highlighting

This is a simple Multiplayer mod that allows vehicle and aircraft crews to quickly and accurately point out surface targets and points of interest to each other in the 3D game view. This mod was designed to allow tank and gunship crews to rapidly aquire and engage targets.

To set up the mod, Simply bind 'custom key 14' to whatever key you want (the 'T' key will be used as the example from this point in). The server does not need to run the mod, but all players who wish to use the mod must. There is no harm in other players not running it, they just won't see the circle marker.

To Use:

> Once in any sort of vehicle or aircraft and not looking at the map, the driver/gunner/commander can hold down the 'T' key and a small red circle will appear in the middle of the screen.

> This circle will appear on the screen of any other crew member in the vehicle, but will point at the terrain point
that the player pressing T is looking at.

> If the circle is outside of their field of view, it will go purple at the edge of the screen.

> Let go of the 'T' Key to make the circle disappear.

> Pressing T will also give that player a 6 digit grid to where they last placed the marker, this is very useful for ID'ing targets on the Map.


Limitations:

> Multiple players pressing the key within the same vehicle will result in the marker flashing about the place. One at a time please!

> Due to engine limitations, the marker cannot designate in the sky. If someone can fix this let me know.
