Distance meter

[bob_the_builder]

Looking to add a HUD for distance.

Do you pull of ${KillTarget} ?

Might want to just check into modifying OGRE OSA and inserting a distance field.

 

[bob_the_builder]

Ahh silly me, I can just use ${Target.Distance}

But how can I get Target for Implied Target?

What are you wanting to do..?

You basically have 2 options if you want to do with HUD.

Put both target and implied target on screen.

Write a script to handle target vs implied.

Bob, your target's target is, wait for it, ${Target.Target}! For when you really need to stand riiight there...
