Quickmenu without .menu :D

[kung foo man]

Hey all,

I've had a nice idea and maybe somebody wants to do it:

pseudocode:

		while (isDefined(player))
{
    if (player useButtonPressed())
    {
        createAllQuickMenuHuds();
        mouse = getMousePositionFromPlayerAngles();
        drawMousePointer(mouse["x"], mouse["y"]);
        item = findSelectedItem(mouse);
        doSomethingWithItem(item);
    } else {
        deleteAllQuickMenuHuds();
    }

} 
	

The idea is, that if the player is pressing USE, an overlay will appear. To "fake" a mouse-pointer, the player-angles are used. Which item is used, depends on where to release the mouse-pointer on.

That would work with every weapon, though it could be restricted to a "tool gun".

I would like such a system to buy Turrets e.g. in the BaseTDM.

If something is unclear, just ask
