Shooter mode

Not shout if this is in the right spot if it is not move it to the right one




Is it possable to have it where when a player clicks a unit and hits "Page up" you go into a tracking short of mode but the mouse pointer turns into a Target? and you click left to fire main weapon right to fire alt weapon?

Spring already has an "FPS" camera mode, if thats what you're looking for.

I coded such a gamemode for KP:

To try it online:
[list][*]Download "Kernel Panic" for "Spring RTS"
[*]With your favorite lobby, host a game of Kernel Panic
[*]Go in the mod options tab
[*]Find the section labelled "Heroes of Mainframe / Defense of the ENIACs"
[*]Tick "Play the Hero, not the General"
[*]Also tick "Pre-placed Minifacs"
[*]Start the game
[*]Move with arrows keys, Aim with mouse, Shoot with left mouse button[/list]

To try it offline:
[list][*]Download "Kernel Panic" for "Spring RTS"
[*]Make sure to also get all the KP maps
[*]Run Spring.exe directly, without using a lobby
[*]In Spring's menu, pick the mod Kernel Panic, any map, and sandbox
[*]In Kernel Panic's menu, click Skirmish, then Heroic, then Run!
[*]If it crashes or plain exit, sorry, try another version of Spring or the online method.
[*]Move with arrows keys, Aim with mouse, Shoot with left mouse button[/list]
