Hey so 4.25 comes bundled with the lidar point cloud plugin. I was looking into it, and point clouds can be modified at runtime, or created using arbitrary vectors as points instead of pre-scanned laser data, which pretty much makes them the coolest thing lol. Anyone else been playing around with it?
Here I build a lidar point cloud using randomly positioned points, and then every time the gun is fired, regenerate the point cloud, except 2500ish points have their color randomly adjusted:
When generating the new point cloud, you can move the points, change their color, mark some of them as not visible, etc. I could see this being used for so many things. A 3d “hologram” of the current map, for example, with live indicators of other players or objectives.
