Was thinking adding hitboxes, would stop the annoying "why don't you just use firestorm.." discussion I always have lol
Always ends up in a long rant from me and then I get killed.

In roleplay combat, the firestorm users have the ability to enable something called "hitboxes". What it does is that it shows a wireframe collision box around the other players. They also have the ability to color the box per avatar, so they for instance can color the enemy red. It's a horrible feature I think, it takes away immersion and feels like a cheat, however since 95% of the players use firestorm it also gives them a big advantage in combat, and it seems everyone is using this feature. I'm very torn in this issue, cause I hate firestorm for allowing all this (and a lot of other hacks), but I also hate having practised and practised and then getting killed anyway cause the other uses can enable a feature in the viewer that I don't have the ability to counter. |

Sorry, but I'm not responsible for Firestorm team's choice, and there is strictly nothing that could be done on my side to counter it. |

Since the "hit box" drawing itself does not add bloat and does not slow down rendering when not enabled, I added it for next release. As for the coloring stuff (currently for mini-map dots and/or name tags, but the hit box will use the same color as for the mini-map dots), it's already there, just "hidden" (no hard-coded UI to use it). See the Lua sample script and how it uses LuaPieMenuSlice(), OnLuaPieMenu() and OnAvatarRezzing() to implement a simple UI based on the Lua avatar pie menu (SHIFT + right click on avatar). |
