Medic should have built in health indicator

Medics should have a health indicator for it's allies' health. this would allow them to see who needs healing
 
Agreed, but damage indicators work as well ...

Perhaps let teammates use a command (e.g. /medic) to request healing and show medics in the team a scoreboard sidebar with a list of players requesting healing.
The command should probably only allow the request to go through if the player's health is low enough
I guess the sidebar could show the distance the players are from the medic
 
I agree, but we'll have to come up with a good way of showing the health.
 
tim ask weby he did it on raidstone.



also mc has health bars above heads built in to the game using /scoreboards commands

Easy.

The hard part would be to only display it to medics.
 
To be fair, I don't see why it shouldn't be displayed to everyone. A lot of players use Damage indicators already, might as well have that too, right ?

If you display it to a player with damage indicators, it might overlap and look deformed?

Plus for new players who have never seen damage indicators it might look confusing
 
For those who do use damage indicators, they know how to turn it off.

...and come on, if you aren't clever enough to imagine what those indicators could tell, you can still ask other people on the server, which most people would do.
 
Maybe add it as toggleable setting for all players, team players and team players while player is medic. With default being off. Also, if you really wanted to, you could add a score to a player using medic class and show indicators only to peeps with score that correct.
