I was searching for a message like this - the blinking dot that shows on the radar when a teammate uses the radio.
I found "Radar", but it doesn't seem to be the blinking one... only the normal dot that is shown at the position of your teammates, but that message doesn't have arguments for blinking.

So, can somebody tell me what to use to show that blinking dot?

I can create following dots! Not looked for the radio dot before but may this will help you too.

For CT:
Blue dot, shows the hostage position!
Red fast blinking dot, shows where a hostage dies!

For T:
Red slow blinking dot, shows where the bomb is dropped


At the moment I'm not sure if the bomb carrier has a seperate dot on the radar.

The dot that blinks in yellow when a team-mate uses the radio. (it's more like a square)

I need it, because it works for both teams (not only T or CT).

I think it is an internal thing like the voice icon above the players head, not sure.

You can use the red blinking dot from a dying hostage.

Take following code as a hint. I'll be back soon for questions.

PHP Code:


                // This will create the blue dot, for CT ONLY
                message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gMsgHostagePos, { 0, 0, 0}, id)
                write_byte(id)   // I don't know it really. Just logged the msg and it seems to be the id. So I tried it too and it works since 2 years :)
                write_byte(16)   // This is the Hostage ID, I just set it to 16. Important is that you use another ID for another dot :)
                write_coord(vOrigin[TEAM_CT][0])   // x coordinate
                write_coord(vOrigin[TEAM_CT][1])   // y coordinate
                write_coord(vOrigin[TEAM_CT][2])   // z coordinate
                message_end()

                // This will create the red dot, for ALL
                message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gMsgHostageK, { 0, 0, 0}, id)
                write_byte(16)   // Hostage ID from above
                message_end()

Yes, that works too, thanks.

I have tried this, but I wasn't sure about the first 2 arguments and that's why it didn't work good, but I understand now.

I've added some descriptions. I hope you know how to get the msg ids.

Send_SendAudio(receiver, sender)

will blink on receiver radar with sender origin, both have to be on the same team, else, receiver has to think sender is in his team (can do that with TeamInfo message.

PHP Code:

Send_SendAudio(id, iSender = 0, szAudioCode[] = "%", iPitch = 100)
{
    message_begin(MSG_ONE, g_iMsgSendAudio, .player=id)
    {
        write_byte(iSender)
        write_string(szAudioCode)
        write_short(iPitch)
    }
    message_end()
}

Hehe, thanks!
That's exactly what I needed.
