yo ucan set it to 0.00001 manually i think

Love the mod. would like if there's a possibility of making the % box one digit longer i.e from 0.0001% to 0.00001%. Appreciate the work you do!

no, that's intentional. patrol routes are very obvious

Is it possible to get a setting for them to delete after a certain period? A unit patrolling the same route for a while develops a bit of a yellow brick road effect

you are able to do that yourself with very simple code

@Hannibal @KJW Please! This would be so prime for more rural and Jungle environments. I could even see a compat with Immersion Cigs to leave butts around

Is it possible to add like footprints, maybe bent branches and such? Its too easy to follow the bad guys with an item with a bright yellow circle on it. Would make it more challenging. Great idea, your other mods are also really amazing. Cheers.

maxsteps is a variable

@KJW where do i find "kjw_tracking_core_maxSteps"? in Addon Options I only have "kjw_tracking_core_Chance" and "kjw_tracking_core_doPlayers". Pls help :D

usp

what mods for the uniforms in the pic

Incredible

Alright, thank you

again, set people in vehicles as an exception

Question: Is there currently (or planed to be) a way to disable the leaving footprints when a player enters a vehicle? currently the footprints still display in mid air, about 3 or so feet above the ground.

changing texture is already doable with cba events, different colours not possible without having a bunch of different textures which i don't want to do

An Option to give them a different color. Right now they are pink (at least for me). Transparent white or light blue etc. to make them more difficult to spot, maybe with an option for the opacity level 0, 0.1 etc

Extending the length of blood drops, also having it show up on say leaves ect. That would be an awesome add. Maybe discarded cigarettes, old camp fires. ect.

@Miles Away -- set everyone else as exceptions

Can this be restricted to a single player or a list of players? Or is coded as a universal ace action?

@thehungryhippo - ace interactions.

i helped test this and its fucking amazing

Are you storing entire unit footsteps as they walk? A good idea would be you drop an item with a variable tied to unit, when action is selected, a pathfind is formed between current location of unit and player, then allowing you to display it for the player - my question, why need ace?

Cool, neat mod anyways

Tom Brown is atheAuthor of the Book 'The Tracker'. He runs a tracking school (that ive attended) and they even based a movie off of his life called The Hunted with Tommie Lee Jones and Benecio Del Torro. Its next level stuff.

who is tom brown

thanks tom brown

Tom Brown approved.

@combat
yes

no

Oh wow I did not think it was possible. Congrats!
Is it MP/dedicated friendly?

Suggestion for consideration.
Perhaps instead of litter or at least more often than litter units could leave a trail of faint footprints for player to interact with and get more detailed track to pop up. Idealy with an option for custom color and density of imprints to be less immersion breaking or simply force players to slow down.

- There were 12 guerrillas. They took the two men from the helicopter, but there's something else. Six men wearing US-issued army boots.

@Matekosh -- you can do this by flipping the KJW_Tracking_Core_Exception variable on and off on the unit for leaving footprints or not

Hi, I loved the idea of the mod! I have an idea that you might like.

It would be great if you could add a difficulty classes, e.g. civilians, conventional forces, special forces. Which will be harder to track depending on what class they are defined as.

For example, a civilian makes more mistakes when it comes to hiding their trail, unlike special forces which are trained to eliminate the slightest trace (Civilians leave trash and foot prints which can be traced at a high percentage, while special forces do not, they would only leave foot prints at a lower percentage of probability).

However do note that changing it mid-mission may cause issues

@Alex Mason - you can change the kjw_tracking_core_maxSteps variable to change the maximum number of steps a unit can have

is a good mod, did a test on it for anyone wondering and the way it works is that someone in a squad (AI) will drop items like forks, spoons, ect and you can ACE interact them and "track" them, it will show pink footprints going to there location no matter how far they are, hopefully in a future update it adds a CBA option to turn down how far it tracks?

you went from idea to published mod entirely while i was asleep you madman

how does this work exactly?

BASED

I really like this idea! Awesome stuff!

Very cool concept! It would be nice if the tracking marks showed up on the map also.
