Ping! Share your view with other players

[MegaMech]

Ping! allows players to capture the attention of others through exploiting the extra viewport feature.

Players interact with a simple UI that creates a viewport for a specific player or the entire server.
This feature has an adjustable cooldown to prevent spam.
 

A versatile and invaluable tool for every server.

Instructions:
Players access the Ping! UI through the map button.

Then choose to send a Ping! to a specific player or the entire server:

Whola! A viewport shows off your new roller coaster or displays an issue that requires other players attention.
Clicking the red locate button scrolls the players entire screen to this area.
