Tracking Beacons

[Willyworm1]

Name: Willy

RP Rank: Colonel | Master | Mas Amedda

Suggestion: Add tracking beacons to the server to enhance searching for things/people. This one in particular doesn't make it too easy to locate someone, so there will at least be a challange for it.

Implementation: I think it would be cool to add to trackers and ARFs to buff their kit, but i'm open to letting someone else decide.

Lore: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Homing_beacon

Workshop content if applicable: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2136932354
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")

Other: I have decided to list the mechanics of it so people have more insight on this:
- The beacon is placed with left click on objects (not parts of the map, just props), ships, players, and NPCs.
- Once placed, the tracking fob in your hand will light up and blink faster if you are facing the right way (If Maxwells is able to add a beeping sound to it, that would also be very helpful).
- If you die or the item you placed it on despawns, the beacon despawns.
- The user of the tracking fob can put it away without the beacon despawning.
- The user can only place one at a time and if they place a new one, it despawns the old one.
- The user can despawn it from anywhere on the map with right click.

Is there a way for it to be removed without the object/person it is on being destroyed/dying? Like if two hunters spot one on another hunter, can it be punched to be broken or something?

unsure, I have not tested it in multiplayer, but perhaps a /me + roll + pm the person that placed it if you know who would work. the person it's on could always respawn after it get's rp removed
