Team Fortress 2 Team Radar

This plugin creates a simple, real-time radar display for each player, showing the positions of their teammates relative to their own position.

The radar uses SourceMod's HUD text functionality for rendering, making it a lightweight solution that doesn't require any client-side modifications.

Note

The plugin primarily shows teammates and was originally designed for certain practicing environments. It does not provide information about enemy positions.
