Pinger Plugin

Usage

• Q to ping
• Double Tab Q to Danger Ping

Overview

Welcome to Pinger, a groundbreaking plugin that introduces a dynamic pinging mechanic to enhance your gaming experience. Pinger allows all players to utilize a ping command by simply pressing Q on their keyboard. With this new feature, you can stay connected with your teammates and strategically communicate without the need for voice chat.

Pinger allows you to see pings through walls at a 150unit distance, allowing you to mark exits, danger, and items for your teammates.

Each ping lasts 10 seconds and a player can only have one ping at a time.

Features

• Ping Command: Press Q to send a ping to your teammates, highlighting specific locations, items, or enemies.

• Signify Danger: Signify Danger by double-tapping Q and letting your allies know there is danger nearby.

• View Pings: Use Mouse2 or the special scan mechanic to view both your own and other players' pings, fostering better teamwork and coordination.
