While I love the concept, things like the JIMA flag where they’re repeatedly applying AOE buffs can cause major lag issues so I don’t see it being particularly practical.
there’s plenty of ways around this using signals and proximity sensing datums, i wouldn’t worry about the practicality (as long as whoever’s doing it doesn’t mind a long ride)
i love the idea. implementing can be done easily by adding an flag object with another sprite and modify it’s code a bit?
second idea could be that the more dog tag you add to the memorial the more powerful it get…
increasing it’s range and power…
I think it’s just because dogtags are so easily lost when a body is transported shipside and to the morgue. It will undoubtedly get looted groundside by PFCs, who may or may not know what the tag does and just throw it away as garbage. If it passes that filter, then it goes to doctor or other shipside personnel, who ALSO may not know what it does and then throw it away, or if they do, then maybe they get too busy and forget to put the name tag onto the slab.
Point is, tags are really inconsequential and thus it is very easy to not know or forget what to do with them.
