Description

The Objectives plugin allows each team to vote on a Team Leader. The Team Leader can place objective markers (colored smoke) anywhere on the map and manage players through an easy menu. This script is designed to mimic the objective markers that can be set by Commanders in the Battlefield series.

Voting will automatically restart when a Team Leader switches teams or leaves.

Each player then has access to a compass to point them to objectives they are assigned to, as well as a small HUD box that shows the name and color of the objective and other players in their squad.

The Team Leader can access the menu by typing "$obj" in chat.

Bind "+obj_compass" to any key, and the compass will show around your feet whenever you hold down the key.
