Custom marking for allied units on minimap. (Good for clans)

[PyroKnight]

We all know what the icon looks like that shows where our team mates are and what they're doing to an extent. What if we could specially mark our friends who are playing on the same server with a unique icon (one also used by the player instead of just a plain re-color of the default one). This should even have the option to permanently add names to be marked in the config file to add friends automatically to this list of marked units.
Simply using a command like:

Code: Select all

/friend add (name)

and

Code: Select all

/friend remove (name)

would be all it would take to use this and I know for a fact that all people who are part of clans or just small groups of friends would appreciate this greatly. Perhaps even being able to set your color that appears in the minimap to distinguish between your friends/squad to further sub-divide or specialize with commands like:

Code: Select all

/color (color name)

usable by players to set their color as visible to whoever they be marked by. This could also have a config file to make a specific color default for you upon unit marking.
Maybe even setting a friend (or a few) as a waypoint so a little arrow appears on the minimap pointing them out with a command like:

Code: Select all

/waypoint add (name)

and

Code: Select all

/waypoint remove (name)

Also from a coding standpoint this would not require a major time investment and it would provide much more ease for clans to organize.

A possible icon to use:

You mean like Operation flashpoint map editor.(arma) ect.

Well that would be great. 1 tip, try to use the search button next time. Cause it has already been suggested a few times.

Other then that great work.

Has it? If so that excuse me, I'm new here. And weather or nor it's like the Operation flashpoint map editor I couldn't say (a quick google search proved un-informative) but it'd be used mostly to help teams organize more effectively, if that's what Operation flashpoint map editor does than I suppose so.
