Zeus ping other zeuses #728

Is your feature request related to a problem? While zeusing with mutiple people it gets complicated to quickly point out a location on the map. The usual conversation goes like this: "We should probably place down a MG nest around here" "Where's here?" "Right next to the town of Generic on the highpoint north of it" "Let me find that town...Ah! That high point, placed it!" "No... I meant a different highpoint."

Solution you'd like: I propose a function similar to the ping zeus feature but it should only ping other zeuses (and only the ones currently in the zeus interface). The "zeus ping" will manifest the same way as the usual ping with a blib on the map. If the zeus presses the "jump to ping" keybind their camera will be moved into the exact position and orientation as the zeus which pinged originally.

Alternatives you've considered: Calling out grids. Moving some placeholder object like a football there so it's easier to find.

Additional context: If the zeus pings while having the map open ping the location of the map where the cursor was at that point.
