Feature request: Messure distances between points about bluemap

[KvaGram]

The video, sorry.

I actually made an addon like this a while ago!
It's not as polished as what you're asking for, but it does work!
Here's the link: https://gist.github.com/TechnicJelle/6ae16856e8060b3bd9142c6d6dcbe3d2
It's not a normal plugin or mod, so the installation process is a bit different:
First, you need to download the file (or copy the code into a new text file manually)
Then you need to put it inside BlueMap's web folder. You will find that in your server's root, in the bluemap folder.
It should be the same place as the index.html file.
Then you need to register the file with BlueMap, which you do by editing webapp.conf.
Then find the scripts section and add it:

scripts: [
    "BlueMapDistanceMeasurer.js"
]

I hope this will be useful to you!
Feel free to edit this script further to polish it up more! This was mostly just a proof of concept.

Nice, that tool is halfway there, judging by the video. Definitely wanna try it out.
But before I do, I need to know:
What are the controls, though? How do I activate or deactivate the feature on the front-end?
I wouldn't want to install a proof of concept feature that overwrites normal left-right click behavior for the other users.
If I did that, the other moderators might get mad at me :)

It's always active, but it doesn't override anything. It just adds a small white line between the last two places you left-clicked.

Activating and deactivating the feature is indeed one of the things I didn't bother adding, back then. It shouldn't be that hard to do, though.
Well.. if you want an actual right-click menu, then it will be a bit harder.

But maybe you can change the controls from being "just left click any block" to a button in the (left-click) popup that appears when you click any block?
Or maybe when you press the space bar, it toggles on/off?

Oh and what did you mean with "judging by the ."? Is that sentence unfinished? :p
