About this Mod
Display your spacing!
Remember the "Reach Display" from clients like lunar and feather?
This is that mod, but on steroids! Now you don't have to hit the player to see your distance from them.
You need midnightlib to configure this mod.
News!!
I finally got around to updating this mod, but it's a horrible mess of code and I hate it.
I didn't get any sleep so I'm sure there are issues with this mod but I simply do not care right now. If you want them fixed contact me @tektonikal or the linked discord.
You can customize:
- Position of the indicator
- Prefix and suffix
- Show name of the closest player
- Color
- Color when opponent is in hit distance
- Mode: Raycast mode will show the distance from where you are looking at to the optimal position to aim. Distance mode will show the distance from your eyes to the closest position of the closest player.
This mod works very well with Sootysplash's Optimal Aim Mod, you can both see how bad your aim is, AND measure it with precise numbers!
