Signals: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:44, 24 October 2015

The Signal is an item that directs the player to significant parts of the map.

It currently can only be obtained via the supply crates around and inside the Aurora in the Crash Zone.

Uses

By using the Signal, the player is notified of a land mass, entrances to caves, a large organic mass or a heat signature. The nature and the exact distance to the object are displayed on the HUD like an visual text similar to the one of a Beacon is displayed on the screen just without the bliip . It seems that each Signal is bound to a single object.

However by spawning in the Signal using the debug commands it only guides the player to the Safe Shallows.

The white cross model is currently displayed as a placeholder for now.

Current state

At the moment, the Signal does not have a proper texture; instead, the player holds a huge white cross in their hands. An item symbol, however, exists. The Signal takes up one inventory slot.

 At the moment, the '''Signal''' does not have a proper texture; instead, the player holds a huge white cross in their hands. An item symbol, however, exists. The '''Signal''' takes up one inventory slot.
-There is a bug that will cause the '''Signal''' to display an additional blip quite close to the [[Escape Pod|escape pod]].
