Code: Select all

/set _radarLimit 0
or for the map file

Code: Select all

-set _radarLimit 0

Expanding on what Positive Gravity said, that second example will go into the options block like so:

Code: Select all

options
  -set _radarLimit 0
end
Simply open the map file in a text editor and add that code. Just a note that most of the graphical editors will not properly handle the options block, and will therefore either fail to load the map after you add that, or they will remove it when you edit the map.

Yeah, that's how, funny the when I wanted to figure out how to do that I ended up looking through some ancient IRC chat log to find the answer. I actually have that command as a "quick key" or whatever it's called so I can disable easily when testing maps.

Wreck, actually "Q" does same thing.
Although "-set _radarLimit 0" removes radar for everyone, while "Q" just removes yours.

Oh yes sorry if I said it in a confusing manner, i know about "q". I run private servers and have family get on and then I can easily disable radar for the server.

Thanks though!
