Description
This plugin shows HUD hints for nearby allied Engineer's buildings to the players when they use specific voice commands. Namely:
"MEDIC!" and "Help!" show the closest allied dispenser.
"Need a Teleporter/Dispenser/Sentry here" shows the closest allied teleporter/dispenser/sentry respectively.
The plugin generates a config file automatically.
