Pings

Description
Enemies, resources, and other interesting objects can be marked using a bindable hotkey, creating a "point of interest" (referred to as "ping").
The locations of marked creatures and objects are visible in the world and on the map, making it a useful tool for alerting teammates to the location of enemies or loot.

Pinging NPCs has the benefit of stopping them from despawning if no players are in range.

The perfect mod for multiplayer!

Quick Guide:
* Press and release the hotkey to create a ping
* Hold the hotkey for a second to also notify everyone through the in-game chat
* Ping the same object again to remove the ping

Things you can ping:
* Yourself (Rendezvous location)
* Tiles (Blocks, ore veins, furniture, etc.)
* NPCs (Enemies, critters, etc.)
* Dropped items

Duration, limit and cooldown of pings are configurable in the server config, ping visuals in the client config.

I could make this a config yes

Thank you for your amazing mod! I'm using it in multiplayer, and it's incredibly useful.
I have just one small request. Sometimes, I overlook pinned items because the particles are not prominent enough. Would it be possible to increase the amount of particles or make it adjustable?
Of course, please feel free to do this only if you feel like it.
(I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm using machine translation.)

Good suggestion, I'll add it when I have time

little suggestion

Make offscreen text like in teams, to show where is pinged location/item/npc with how far away ping is
