Z-level accuracy line indication

[a333]

I do like to put snipers on the roofs, but sometimes it's confusing why i can't shoot somebody. Accuracy line helps, but it's a bit messy and hard-readable when aiming from the roof down below.

Can we has this?

Or use darker tint for tiles that belong to different z-level than selected.

I support this idea very much. Provided the green tiles (actual shot path) would go over the sandbags and not under them.

This would be great.

I think this -

- will be better (every "accuracy tile" have a projection vertical line to current level).

Devs, is it possible?

[GizmoGomez]

Maybe a very thin line; the lines you painted are a tad thick (although I understand it was simply a proof of concept, and not a finished product ).

Suggestion: hold Shift and click the mouse wheel (or up arrow) up for one box at a time, the game then draws the graduated vertical line at the end showing an angle. Make it bright green and hatched. That way it wouldn't look so busy.

It was just a minute of Paint - and I'm not a great artist

I've tried to make that too, both solid sides and vertical wireframes, but it was way out of current style.

[a_beorning]

IMHO "informative but out-of-style" is better then current "stylish but disorientating".

I recognized that; I didn't want to sound like I was judging your "1337 paint skillz", just saying that I'd want the lines to be unobtrusive.

There's also implementation costs involved, i've tried to make something cheap enough to be really considered.

Ooh, this would be especially nice. I second, or third, or whatever number we're on, this motion!
