R.E.P.O. Ping System

Adds a team communication ping system to R.E.P.O., inspired by Fortnite and PEAK.

Features

• Quick Ping: Middle click to place a marker where you're looking
• Smart Detection: Automatically detects what you're pinging:
  • Walls/floors/cart = Go Here (blue)
  • Items/valuables = Loot (green)
  • Enemies = Enemy (orange)
• Radial Wheel: Hold middle click to choose from 4 ping types manually (Go Here, Danger, Enemy, Loot)
• 3D Preview: When pinging items, enemies, or the cart, a lit 3D preview appears inside the ping marker
• Object Tracking: Pings follow moving objects (enemies walking, items being carried, cart moving)
• Multiplayer Sync: All players see pings, previews, and tracking in real time via REPOLib NetworkedEvent
• Audio Feedback: Each ping type has a distinct sound (only heard within 20m)
• Auto-fade: Pings last 4 seconds with a smooth fade out
• Screen-Space Rendering: Pings render as screen indicators, visible within 15m
• Distance Display: Shows how far you are from each ping
• Fully Configurable: All settings adjustable via BepInEx config (F1 with ConfigurationManager)

Controls

• Middle click (quick): Place a ping (type auto-detected)
• Middle click (hold): Open radial wheel to select ping type manually
• Right click: Cancel radial wheel
• Release on center: Cancel selection

How It Works

1. Aim at any surface, item, or enemy
2. Quick click middle mouse for an auto-detected ping
3. Hold middle mouse to open the selection wheel for manual type selection
4. Move your mouse to the desired ping type and release
5. The ping appears where you were aiming when you first pressed the button
6. Pings follow moving objects and are visible within 15m
7. All players with the mod see the ping, including 3D preview and tracking
