Your code just plain cannot work... You'd need to fill-up the list in a loop with all avatars present around you.

I'm afraid I cannot give you a Lua programming course in this forum.
Yes, I know and understand that. That is why I really tried to get it done without your help, but I failed :(

Re-writing a full radar from scratch in Lua also seems like an overkill (and would slow down the viewer since you would need to refresh that radar list at least every second)...
really every second? I would be fine with every minute or even two

EDIT: I will try to think about something to allow Lua to add some info to the normal Radar, on a per-avatar basis...
THAT IS AMAZING! Thank you very much for considering it !!!

In today's releases, I added a few radar-related Lua functions, a callback, and expanded others, to allow customizing a bit the Radar list (custom marks, custom tool-tip)...

That is great, Henri. Merci and a Happy New Year!!

If I'd only know how to use them. Do you have a hint for me where and how I can add new columns or change columns and their content in or for the system radar?

Everything is explained in the Lua manual.

You can't, and I do not plan to allow this.

Again, read the documentation... In excess of being able to change the avatar names color, you now can change the contents of the "marked" column for each avatar (up to three ASCII characters or any special UTF-8 symbol may now be used in this column, and the color for them can be set to anything fancying you), and you can set a tool-tip (with any arbitrary text) for each avatar line.
The OnRadar() callback was also improved, and is now called for every new entry added to the Radar (so that you can change the avatar data with the above new features as soon as it gets added in the Radara floater list). There is also a new OnRadarSelection() callback.

Thank you, Henri.

I read the documentation and the manual, a couple times. I just don't know enough of coding to get what I want. At least not now and not fast.

I try.

Again, thank you for the new features and possibilities!
