Idea scout addition

Would be an ok change in the long run, however there are more important fixes at the moment, such as necro. I don't see how the distance of a swap will help a scout, unless to calculate some sort of pre-made throw, as distance is not an important factor for the swap.
Whereas, this idea helps the like of an archer, as they can then calculate distances needed for headshots. For example - "This block im standing on headshots this distance as it says I headshotted that individual from 27 blocks away". I hope this example isn't too confusing.

 

Necro did get a change but kinda sucks

 

Yes, that is what I was proposing.

 

Could be interesting and it doesn't really cost anything (probably takes 2 minutes to code). It might spam your chat a bit though because with scout especially on offense you swap with so many people. I don't mind it being added or not, it's kind of an extra but why not.

 

How does this make scout better?

 

It doesn't, it's just a minor addition.

 

A bit of an old thread revival, but I'm also quite late to this topic... It wouldn't be the worst thing to have this little detail added at some point when it's more convenient to tackle. I think it should inform both players involved in the swap though, because it could come in handy to know how far a Scout swapped you away...and the Scout might simply enjoy knowing how far they managed to land a swapper ball.

"You were swapped by Dequoy from 24 blocks away." -- Oh, okay, he's about 24 blocks away from me. Which direction though?
"You swapped with Dequoy from 24 blocks away." -- Ha! Had I been much farther away that bowspammer might've been able to snipe me!

...as one example.

If the code is simple enough and the latency suffers no hit I say this is worth a +1 personally.
