Thats it! I don't get this part ready! I thougt about something like exactly this, but i had no idea how to name the panels and let them be controlled by the units!

Greate contribution! Thanks!

Oh sorry, updated (relative to the player, not to the camera | bmap size) :

Code:

---

 function g3_handle_radar {
while(player == null) { wait(1); }
	while(me) {
		if(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < make_scan.z) {
			pan_temp = pan_create("bmap = bmp_radar_enemy; flags = visible,refresh,filter;",4);
			my.skill92 = handle(pan_temp);
			while(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < make_scan.z) {
				pan_temp = ptr_for_handle(my.skill92);
				vec_set(temp,player.x);
				vec_sub(temp,my.x);
				vec_to_angle(my.skill97,temp);
				my.skill98 = bmap_width(bmp_radar)/192*vec_dist(my.x,player.x); // because the code was for 192pixel radar
				pan_temp.scale_x = 0.85-vec_dist(my.x,player.x)/(make_scan.z*1.5);
				pan_temp.scale_y = pan_temp.scale_x;
				pan_temp.pos_x = panel_radar.pos_x+bmap_width(bmp_radar)/2-my.skill98/(make_scan.z*1.2/100)*sin(player.pan-my.skill97)-16*pan_temp.scale_x;
				pan_temp.pos_y = panel_radar.pos_y+bmap_height(bmp_radar)/2+my.skill98/(make_scan.z*1.2/100)*cos(player.pan-my.skill97)-16*pan_temp.scale_x;
				wait(1);
			}
			pan_temp = ptr_for_handle(my.skill92);
			pan_remove(pan_temp);
		}
		wait(1);
	}
}

hey gOmO_3,

veri nice work and thanks.

very nice contribution

Thanks.

What does "and assign "g3_handle_radar" to your actions. " mean?
Am I supposed to add "my.action = g3_handle_radar();" to my player's list of attributes?

How do I assign this function to something, and would that something be a player or an enemey or other?

Sorry, I'm struggling with programming.

You have to call two functions:
init_radar(); // only once, for example in your main function
and "g3_handle_radar" in the enemy's action:

action evil_enemy {
//....
g3_handle_radar(); // this functions creates an individual dot on the radar and must be called for every entity that should be visible in the radar
while(1) { ....

So, if I had an auto enemy creation function, and an enemy move function, I should place it ABOVE the while function in the move function as you have shown?

Not in the actual while loop?

Cheers!

Does anyone know where the 1.2/100 figure comes from in the calculation of the position of the temp panel?
Code:

---

pan_temp.pos_x = panel_radar.pos_x+bmap_width(bmp_radar)/2-my.skill98/(make_scan.z*1.2/100)*sin(player.pan-my.skill97)-16*pan_temp.scale_x;

I understand this scales the radars range, but where did this number come from? What is it relevent to?

I know this is a terrible old thread, however I'm using this contribution and ran into a problem. I run the g3_handle_radar(); funktion in my enemies funktion, everything is fine.

However, at one point the enemy dies and get's removed. Panel creation of the radar script stops, but it leaves a fixed radar blip at the spot (on the radar) where the enemy died. So I was thinking, this panel didn't get removed at all.

What's wrong?

Summary;
-code works fine, when enemy that started the code isn't removed by ent_remove(me);
-radar blip continues to be visible after enemies death, but doesn't get updated on his position (which is zero, he's death after all).
-How can I really stop this funktion when the enemy who started the radar code is removed?

Cheers
