Mod request/idea

[windowcool3]

To whom this may concern, im not sure how to mod, but i have a great idea for a mod if someone was able to pull it off, I was wondering if there was a possible way in dont starve to create a structure that reveals a large area of the map.

 

Ive always been annoed with running around to reveal all of the map, and it got me thinking whilst exploring, what if there were a structure, like a watch tower made out of say, 10 wood boards. the watch tower would be a medium size structure, looking like a level 1 sniper tower from clash of clans, or something like a wooden watchtower,  that would reveal a semi large, or very large portion of the map from where it was built. 

 

this would make sense because you are higher up and can get a greater view of the landscape, and would also be extremly useful for viewing a large portion of the map. I hope there is someone who can let me know if this is possible, and i would be amazed if someone actually made a mod like this.

@windowcool3 Have you seen this (compass mod) and this (portato mod)? They're somewhat similar to your idea.

I have seen them before, but I find them to be a bit to over powered, I dont want something that will reveal all of the map, just a larger portion than what the player can see. Thanks however

@windowcool3 I think that's still not possible. See these discussions.

There's this code:

 

GetWorld().minimap.MiniMap:ShowArea(x,y,z,radius)
