Player Indicator

Finding the Component

This component can be found under the CoreAcademy account on Community Content.

Overview

The Player Indicator component will add an indicator above all player's heads in the game so that players can easily find where other players are in the game. This is useful for open-world games where finding players can improve the experience for the player themselves. It also helps make the world feel active.
