Features

• All events of an entire squad dying are indicated with in-game UI elements
  • Death events appear in the event queue and clicking the event moves the camera to the event location
  • Death event indicators are displayed for 60 seconds
    • Indicator consists of a minimap/tactical map icon (red ☠️) and an in-game marker with player name, unit icon, and unit name
  • Any death event indicator can be removed by pressing Ctrl+D (likely not the final hotkey, can be easily changed)
    • Selection of which death event indicator is removed is based on distance to the current camera position
    • Selection may be based on mouse position instead in the future to allow more accurate control
