Lidar Scanner

Description
What is this?

Lidar Scanner is an addon with the ability to scan the in-game environment around.

It uses scanners to scan surfaces.
There are two types of scanners in total:
  • Projector
  • Scanner

The projector does not have burst scanning capability. It is installed on the ground and has severe limitations.
The scanner allows you to create two types of scans and delete the previous scan.

This is NOT a gamemode!!



Ok, I got it, now how do I turn it on?
You have several options:
  1. Use the menu, you can either open the context menu and click on the "Lidar Scanner Menu" button, or open the spawn menu, select the "Utilities" tab in the tool menu and select "Lidar Scanner Menu" in the list that opens. You can also type the command "lidarscanner_menu" into the command console. After you open the menu, check the box "Enabled".
  2. Type the command "lidarscanner_enabled 1" into the command console.





How do I start scanning?

You can use the scanner found in the spawn menu under the weapons tab, select others and click on "Lidar Scanner".
Now you can either left click or right click.



How can I change the scan size?

You can enter the command "lidarscanner_scansize" followed by the value you want.
You can also assign keys to the commands "+lidarscanner_increasescansize","+lidarscanner_decreasescansize" using the command "bind "{key}" "{command}" This will allow you to change the scan size without going to the command console. Example: "bind "t" "+lidarscanner_decreasescansize"




How to get a list of all commands or get help on the menu?

Enter the command "lidarscanner_help" and check the console.



Addon supports multiplayer and can work in sandbox mode.

Inspired by Scanner Sombre.

1. Take a look at Lidar Scanner 2
2. Lets not forget the multiplayer features: the number of players can be several times more than 2-3 people. During one scan, the game slows down slightly, but we want to make several players, right? This means that the computer will have to process more information(at least when players scan at the same time, especially the BURST scan). The addon already does everything it can to make the game as fast as possible. I even took the fast inverse square root function from Quake.
3. It will definitely be difficult. Because sounds can be created through entities. Or they can be created simply in 3D points. These are different bindings in the game and no one knows what addon 1 can do with addon 2 since they can overlap each other.

a Few ideas of my own:

why not add settings for Full Scan Effect Versions, Currently, Full scan scans both the top down and the bottom up, Why not top to bottom, Bottom to Top, or other crazy full scan effect settings.

if you can't see other people's dots, Then why not just Split the Dot Limit per player when in Multiplayer(Potential Work around idea)

What if you add a setting to mute all game audio except for the Scanner

Things I Noticed:

Are My Weapons Supposed to be invisible, because I Can't see them?

When I Hold Down C, I can't point the Lidar Scanner in the direction of my mouse.

@ Butter Fliege

You Can Make It A horror game. The original Lidar.exe Indie game had more then just being jump scared by the mystery figure, It had a feeling "Where am I, where am I going, what am I doing, what is this place?", Maps you know and recognize feel different with this because it makes you see them differently, giving off eerie vibes. To Really make it a horror game, Have a friend run around the map and let them do whatever they want to scare, creep out, or shock you.

@The bread king You cannot see other peoples dots, this is for security purposes. You do not want someone to make your computer explode from so many dots.
