If you create separate SyncHuds for each projectile and pass those into DrawIndicator, you could get sharper tracking (killing or repurposing each SyncHud as its projectile dies).
Lastly, I believe the annotation feature of TF2 (as in https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1317304 ) can do most of this already, including screenspace indicators and in-world blips, though you can't modify the size it takes up on the screen (for the in-world ones). |
it comes from Valve's C++ code for detecting the Health Plus sign when you're a medic and someone calls for a medic.
@props Code by Valve from their Source Engine
hud_damageindicator.cpp. The problem is that some of the code is actually unused so I commented that out.
reason for different methods of getting player abs origin is through sheer oversight
The reason I didn't use annotations is that annotations are bulky in the screen and too much of them is ultimately annoying, Secondly, I thought it was more better for my experience to do it from scratch and it came out exactly as hoped!
