Waypoints/Quest Guide

[jo]

Waypoints are objects that help a player to find his way through a level. There should be several ways to show the player the way. A waypoint should:

• be visible on the radar.
• be visible in the game:
  • as marking of the waypoint position.
  • as way indicators (easy mode) from one waypoint to another.
• Trigger an event if the player is in a certain range.
• Maybe there are multiple types of waypoints. Such that mark a single points, other that are a volume in space, …
• Be visible only for the player it belongs to. So it needs to have an owner
• Waypoints should be attachable to moving objects like a allied spaceship.
