UPDATE 1.1

New features:

  • Off-screen edge detection - If a waypoint is off-screen, it will stick to the edge closest to its position, so you know where to look to find it (adapted from @Adam 's work on the Hub tutorial system)
  • Overlay types - Set different overlay types to communicate different levels of information (primary objective, secondary waypoints, points of interest etc)
  • Show distance - Toggle showing the distance to the target

If you use the Package as it is, it’s going to throw a lot of nil value errors on line 51

This can be fixed by adding these lines:

if Entity.IsValid(self:GetEntity():GetPlayer()) then	
	local playerPos = self:GetEntity():GetPlayer():GetPosition()
end

That will get rid of the errors.

Hey Nomaki, it looks like the showDistance property doesn’t work, it makes all the overlay markers disappear if it is set to true
