blink-cd2025/init.lua

--[[ To Do:
--Create mesh for marker circle
--Add crafting
Add number of uses
--Add height check for destination
--Add blink behind mobs/players
Check if marker was recently put down and if blinking close enough to it, don't recalculate destination
Localize
Add swoosh sound
Flash different color if no space to blink
--Add Raycast to check line-of-sight when blinking behind a player/entity
--Fix valid_entities and add more compatibility
]]
