The idea came from Calinou: https://chat.godotengine.org/channel/audio?msg=2Qq3X67gMfFyvXBwK

in the meantime, you could look into other ways to improve teamplay without requiring a microphone, such as adding a ping system
(which allows players to ping in-game locations as a marker visible to their team, to signal enemies or items)

We could have a key that'd let players place tags on the map that their teamamtes would see through walls.

My idea is - tags could have different types, and the selection could work like this:

You hold a tag key - a ppie menu opens around the cursor, you need to aim in a direction fo the tag yo uwant to place and release the key to confirm. If you just press and release the key without movin your mouse nothing happens.

Tags could be like:

Enemy spotted!
Objective spotted!
Attack here!
Defend this point!
Send help!

Tags could probably last about 5-10 seconds, or until at least one teammate comes within a radius of say 15 meters of them.

Just an idea.

Tags could be listed in the player's HUD with arrows pointing in directions where they should go to find the tags.

Maybe aiming at a tag and using the tag button without selecting anything would set that tag as your current target - that'd hilight it and help you navigate to that place until you reach it.

What do you guys think?
