About this mod
A simple measuring tape. This mod will tell you various information between two points of your choosing, such as where the points are, and the difference between them in various forms (straight-line, vector, angle, wall). Mainly for modders, but players may find this handy too.

This mod makes the following changes:
- Adds an overlay toggle when N is pressed
- Two points (blue and orange) can be placed while the overlay is open, with the ,< and .> buttons are pressed
- Mod menu button (in UE4SS 'BP Mods' tab) to enable/disable the mod
- World coordinates for both points (for knowing where to spawn your actors)
- Straight-line distance between the two points, in both unreal units (uu) and metres (m)
- Vector difference between the points (for scaling your spawned actors / knowing how much space you have to work with)
- Angle from blue to orange points (for getting spawned actor rotation, yaw = z rotation)
- How wide and high a wall would need to be to fill the area between the points (good in combination with yaw)
Configuration:
To the file
%AppData%\Local\DrugDealerSimulator2\Saved\Config\Windows\Engine.ini
, add[/Game/Mods/MeasuringTape_1034/ModActor.ModActor_C]
Range=69
EnabledOnDefault=True
Where 69 is the range in metres that the placement system checks to see what you're aiming at, for placing the pointsAnd True makes the mod enabled by default
Notes/Issues:
- Angles often have slight errors, so if a measurement results in a yaw of 0.03 or similar, a mod-placed object will align with a z rotation of 0.0
