A compass.

[lielais papucis]

One thing we have been wanting in Unturned has been compass, so info giving to your teammates would be easier.

[Meder]

We do not wait for a compass. We do not want to block one more slot in our inventory. We look at the map (gps) and see an arrow pointing in a certain direction. That is all we need to tell our mates our position. ;-)

A compass more like a HUD element, so you wouldn't have to open map, when you're under fire.

[Meder]

That does not fit into the game. There is no Hud. It would be an item that you have to hold in the hand to do that. Noone would do that. Anyway - when you are in a fight and dont know the area and where to run you'd be dead with or without a compass.

Maybe for planes & heliciopters it would be nice if they have one in the cockpit (1st person view). Also an altimeter would be great.

Great idea

Serves no purpose. Could just pull up the map and say up is North.

I don't think a new item needs to be added, but having your map could displayed on the top left of your screen (toggled on/off in settings).

What if you don't have a map? Lets say you've walked up into Russia, and now you're lost and don't know which way you should go. A compass would show you which way you should go.

That could be useful.

If you don't have a map then too bad, you don't have a map. Should we also add another item just incase you are lost in Russia but don't have a map and don't have a compass?

Maps are all over anyway, and compasses would spawn in the same spot.

I gave an example. It would just be a nice 'replacement' or addition to a map.

To the people saying a compass would be useless, thats a load of ♥♥♥♥. If i could say "Hey mate, enemy to the bearing of 321" It would be much faster to point out enemys locations, rather then "Hey mate, enemy to your right, a bit left, over there.."

A hud element in the very top is what we need.

First, you just revived a dead thread just to tell off people

Second, there's no 'we'

Third, it is likely Nelson would require you to hold it to see the directions if it was added, as a utility item which can be hotkeyed. No item can change the hud

It's on the trollo.

Another source of scrap.

Yay..

Also a compass is not very useful for giving directions to friends, unless your friend is right beside you.

Say if a town is right infront of you, you'd say something like it's to the north; but your friend who may have already passed the town would now be walking away from it, because for him the town is to the south.

Another example is if an enemy appears beside you, you'll yell something like west; but your friend who is a little further ahead will look to the west and see nothing.


What you would really need is a grid system on the GPS and charts. This way you could give precise coordinates of your enemy's location that are the same for everyone, and will work all the time.
