A new feature that should have been added long ago to go along with the more realistic environment ROBLOX is creating is to hide names from sight between players when a brick or piece is between two players.

So when a player is covered from sight from another, his name is hidden.

Scriptable, displayed in the game "Murder Mystery".

We all know it's scriptable, but it's something that shouldn't or doesn't have to be scriptable. Since Roblox is all about "realism" now, they could at least add in the effort to have names blocked by walls.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement by roblox then. Seems very usable for those who don't script.

In Murder Mystery those names are GUI. With regular names it is so much harder and glitchier.

Strange, in my other threads on ideas, they often complain about how some scripter can do it.

This is in fact easier to script than the idea of "Gravity Bricks" I mentioned a long time ago, which would require a lot of camera adjusting and such.

Should be configurable in the game's settings.

So you are implying that you want every one to learn how to script this, then there be a easier way to turn it on/off. I don't see why you way every one to take the circuitous way then it just be a easy feature we can do with as we please.

I've actually had a friend (a respected scripter) work on this for hours and could not get it to work properly. Please show me a example were this works with regular names (not GUI names).

By working properly I mean it didn't work. At all.

I don't have an example for that, but I do know that people often reject ideas that at least one person is able to script.
They say it will "break" games and throw all the work developers put into their places down the drain.

Usually they come with examples of amazingly scripted games that feature the idea.

@Zer, yeah, I don't see why people can't seem to grasp the concept of letting people create better games by having things a little bit easier to achieve things we need done. Even to some great scripter who can do this, why waste hours?

Plus, scripts can increase lag more than if it was pre-programmed as a game feature, so little things like this would work more effectively, and without modification, if ROBLOX did it

Treating names like BillboardGuis means more realism.
