This topic regards being able to see the other team on the radar:
As I've mentioned before, you can only use the Radar message (in CS, at least) to show the origin of a player if cs_get_user_team(id)==cs_get_user_team(enemyi d), and both players are living. However...
I've seen plugins where fake spectators are created to fill in slots. I haven't had time to look at these to see how it's done, but I was wondering if it would be possible to internally "fake" that these fake players are on a team (without having them show up on the scoreboard). That is, trick the server into thinking the fake players are real players, alive and on a team, just without..uh..models/guns/an origin/anything else.
That way, I could create a bunch of fake players and set so many up on each team, and send the id of the FAKE players using the Radar message -- then, players would be able to authentically see the enemy on their radar..although both enemies and friendlies would be the same color on the radar...maybe I'd set it up as a button they could bind, or something. Also, I'd have to think of a way of "killing" all the fake players, if necessary, whenever all the real players are killed; otherwise, the server would think that there are still players alive on a team, when in reality there aren't. Finally, I believe this would only work on 16-player servers, since there can only be 32 players, real or fake, to a server, and I'd need one fake player to every real player.
Although it would have its limitations, so does my
last radar plugin.
Is there any way to implement this? O_o
