We could use this for a bunch of things! "where did you want to target that Fireball?" "Where do you want the NPCs to gather?" "What are you looking at?" "Which door?". I could probably think of a hundred ways to use this. =D
How would you tell one ping apart from another? I accidentally ping when trying to select things to click and drag all the time so just curious how you would solve that. I love all the ideas and can think of a few myself, but maybe it would be better if there was some sort of api only ping? Like a CTRL version of the SHIFT ping, that sent an event? The Aaron said: Actually, when any Ping happens, shift or not.
Spren said: How would you tell one ping apart from another? In most cases, I would have a stateful script that would look for the next ping by a player of a specific ID after they had run a particular API command. The API would be getting ping events all the time and ignoring them (just like chat events), until they had seen the "!summon fireball" command, then when that player pinged (or a sufficient amount of time passed), the script would go back to ignoring their pings.
