Rider Down!!

Post by dylangatlin876 »

Is there anyway that a flashing light system could work with a down rider? I play in First Person and last 2 weeks when racing Consi for Rf I have been a victim of coming over a blind take-off and there being a down rider, and me having no clue until i am already hitting them, Not sure if there was a way for a flashing light to go off if a rider was down, The only way I can think of it being implemented is say a rider enters Sector 1 if he has not exited Sector 1 in a certain time, the light goes off. I know that would not fix the problem entirely because a certain amount of time would have to go by before it went off, but I feel as if "Something" is better than nothing. And It could not be possible to do at all due to multiple riders entering Sector 1. But it would be nice to have a little heads up if someone is down or possibly could be getting up from a crash, or a track re-entry, just as a heads up could be hazardous ahead. Just my Fruit for thought

It's pretty easy to replace the flagger with a light.

This is easily doable in the scripting system currently implemented. I actually reworked the flaggers script jlv made for the battlegrounds smx rounds. The flaggers wave a yellow flag when a rider is down in the upcoming sections pretty reliably. Was genuinely better than a spotter sometimes lol.

If I had infinite time I'd make the flaggers point at the down rider!

Actually, maybe it'd be unrealistic for the flaggers to be that good!
