I'm not sure if this is the right section, but since its more a "how-to" discussion I thought it could fit here.
What I am thinking of is a function to get the LOS between to points. It came to my mind after I mapped a whole lot of interiors/houses without teleports and it sucks to be able to read chat of other people through walls.
Since there is no native, I really need some sort of workaround. Kye did it already with 3D-TextLabels, so there is a way, although it seems that I need a plugin.
I have no experience in plugin coding, but maybe my thoughts can help someone realizing it.
1) Is it possible to create invisible 3D-Textlabels and try to get a response from the client; if the client showed it there is nothing in the LOS. Does the client report this to the server? Then there would be no need for a client-plugin, a server plugin could do the whole thing.
If not, how must a client-plugin work? Any thoughts on this?
