A slash command to set thumbtack waypoints on map

[daranable]

Would it be possible to add slash command that you can set a thumbtack waypoint on the map? Something along these lines:

/tack X Y Z

 

I have always thought this would be useful even back on live.

As a former Hami yellow mito tank.... yes please

[Vanden]

Yeah, it beggars belief that this command still doesn't exist.

[Neowulf]

Oh yes please.

There is now! /thumbtack X, Z, Y, (where the letters represent the three dimensions of space)

Well, to be persnickety, it's X Z Y — east-west, up-down, north-south. Never have been sure how the Z axis ended up in the middle; I assume it's something integral to the original engine.

 

ETA: two tricks: Set a 0-0-0 thumbtack in a zone and make a mental note of where that "center" is; it can help you navigate using seat-of-the pants coordinates. And in a hurry, you can often just use 0 for the Z coordinate and still get where you're going.
