In RL, all aircraft and ships must have an EPERB system install which trigger upon a crash or sinking. This makes it easier for locating and rescueing survivors. So I got with Isabeaux Balfour (My head scripter) and came up with this system. AND IT WORKS!! But it detects only the current sim the RADAR is in, and detects 1 BEACON at a time. It has arrow keys at the top that you can scroll thru for various beacon signals within the sim and updates every 5 seconds. When you cross into anotehr sim it will update automatically. And if the survivor turns off the beacon it takes up to 10 seconds to lose the signal.
Beacon: Simply wear and click to activate. It will turn RED when active and default (wood) when off. Can only be detected by the RADAR when activated.
Radar: Click WEAR and it will appear on your HUD. Click on the radar to open and begin the search mode. The WHITE arrow ICON is the direction you (the rescuer) is facing. Locate the RED DOT on the current sim and follow it to the survivor's location. If multiple survivors are in the same sim, use the < > arrow keys above the radar to switch between signals. This updates every 5 seconds. No need to detach/reattach upon each sim as it will autodetect the sim you cross into.
Upon "Deactivate" beacon, can take up to 10 seconds to clear and will show last known location.
Radar is 6 prims and the Beacon is 1 prim.
