theres a way to make textures blink, see the Bleeding icon above the CE meter, early I put the same texure in a weapon and the weapon was blinking lol, I will find how

You misunderstood, I have no problem blinking the Icon.
Problem is that when TeamMember1 sets target, it will start blinking on all teammembers, then after 10 seconds, it stops. But the variable that hold this information(Blinkstarttime) don't exists on 2.5

So at this time I prefer to change the color instead, I think it looks better

Next issue.


When a Squad leader set a objective as a Squad Target

With Classic Compass it underlined the Objective Letter so that the squad could see what objective to take
With 2.8.5 the Objective in question blinked in yellow for 10 seconds, then stopped blinking, from what I can see nothing after the 10 seconds gave any hint what obj was set as target.

With the SAI, I cant do what the Classic(Underline) did
With the SAI, I cant do what 2.8.5 does(Blinking)

At normal gameplay, the Objectives are drawn in Yellow, What I suggest is that I paint the Objective set as Squad Target in another color, in this video I choose a Cyan color.

After an Objective is taken by Your team, it turns Green
After an Objective is taken by Other team, it turns Red

Objective Selected to be Squad target, now shows as Cyan

This is the current version



It uses the already bool value MyController.bHUDHideObjectives to decide if it should show information or not.

Here is a Test with the Emitters Activated.

As mentioned, not for the initial release, but I made this video so that we would have all the cards on the table when discussing it for future releases

Emitter is visible for team mates only.

How does the enemy spotted work? Does it find a collision and plot the coordinates? Would it be possible to spawn an emitter at that location? Perhaps a little smoke or flare or something in the 3d space?

Yeah, it's using Trace.

So, I get the
HitLocation.X
HitLocation.Y
HitLocation.Z

As a result.

So what you are proposing would be possible, and at first when I was thinking on what it would mean, was that it would be cool.
However, if you could report enemies, causing a smoke to appear, it could be used to smoke on a distance, and that would be just ridiculous.

Problem with 2.8.5 was that even when I got it working, it was a dead end. Don't get me wrong, I got to the point where all current functionally of 25Assist was working in 2.8.5(Assist Client/Server, Auth and Antipoke).

I see a fair deal of 2.8.5 Uscript that handles AI.

Perhaps, after I finish the SAI, I can look into bringing CoOp to Assist?
No Promises.

Carrying objectives are simply called CarryableObjective if I remember right. I have no idea what ESS is, I've never seen it in mapping for 2.5. Must be a 2.8 feature only.

Same goes for the other name ES2 as well?
