: : : There are several issues here: : : 1) Balance : Actually I was thinking tracking all movment in a certain radius, including fellow Marines : As well as it would have to be an item that every one has to find! : : If the tracker located only the predator, that might give the marines too much power. : : On the other hand, the tracker could use cells for power. In fact, we could : : replace the BFG with the tracker. So marines would actually have to pick up : : the tracker on maps, find cells to power it, then use it. It : : gives them a brief glimpse of where the pred is and costs 50 cells. : : That isn't TOO powerful. : : 2) Performance : Since there would be a preformance problem it is not worth the : effort however I do like the powered tracker idea that sounds like a good plan : : A continually updating tracker in use by all marines at the same : : time is gonna lag the game seriously. Imagine the engine having to : : find all players, figure out if they're close enough to trigger your : : tracker, then display some indication of location and distance. : : Imagine it having to do this for ALL players! : : : : Hmm. I kinda like the BFG as tracker idea. It's unused now, and the : : restrictions I've mentioned keep it from being too powerful. : : Comments? : I would have to agree it is a good Idea.. : All and All I would like to say you have made a genneral : concept into a very exciteing game! : To the creater For time well spent. : Sage : : /bruce
