Hmm ok, guess you just have too small hands then.klapmongool wrote:No, Pinky is on ctrl and ringfinger is on shift. I don't see a configuration of my hand in which my thumb would press either those.Johannes wrote:You're pressing shift with your thumb then I guess? Better do it with pinky.
Hmm, not really. Pretty big hands actually. Guess your fingers are way more flexible (spread out better?) if you can press left ctrl with pinky, left shift with ring finger and b/n with index finger without it being a hassle. Or our keyboards differ in size :)Johannes wrote:Hmm ok, guess you just have too small hands then.klapmongool wrote:No, Pinky is on ctrl and ringfinger is on shift.

For lines of buildings or queues?Johannes wrote:Why would you need to press shift+ctrl+B all at the same time? Shift+B (pinky+index) while adjusting the build distance, then when that's set move to shift+ctrl if you need to make a rectangle.
ctrl for spacing, shift for queuing? And space to spread the buildorder over all builders selected. Three keys at the same time. I guess you could do all those separate tasks after each other? Not sure, would have to check ingame. Anyway, that is the way I do it now, don't see it being faster when performing these tasks after each other while having to reach over to the b/n.Johannes wrote:none of that needs you to hold down ctrl
What do you mean? When deciding on the spacing you hold shift+b/n. Ctrl is only needed here if you want a rectangle of buildings queued, and can be pressed after you've decided on the spacing.klapmongool wrote: ctrl for spacing,

Buildsplit widget. Go grab 5 cons and tell them to build a line of 20 DT while holding space.Johannes wrote:what is this?And space to spread the buildorder over all builders selected.
You are right. I went ingame to check what I actually do with the ctrlJohannes wrote:What do you mean? When deciding on the spacing you hold shift+b/n.

Turns out I always keep my pinky on the ctrl because the ctrl-key combinations are vital to the way I play BA wait i can do that now?Niobium wrote:Buildsplit widget.

BA has a gadget which sets dragon claws to neutral (non-hostile to all teams) when they are closed, regardless of whether they have been spotted. It's an interesting idea but when you have widgets like team platter that can identify the enemy units, but your units seemingly can't, it ends up looking like a bug.bartvbl wrote:Not sure if this is an engine or BA issue, but bombers do not auto-target dragon's claw and dragon's maw when they patrol or attack in an area. They do respond to manual bombing commands though.
When the turrets pop up, they also start bombing it.
Code: Select all
[f=0000000] Warning: cortide: yardmap/blockmap contains too many chars!I actually have team platter off due to the severe hit it gives to the FPS. But what's the reason for keeping them neutral? They can't cloak, so they are visible at all times, which would imply that any "stealth" effect only goes up to if the player looks at them. I don't really see any purpose for keeping them neutral there.Niobium wrote: BA has a gadget which sets dragon claws to neutral (non-hostile to all teams) when they are closed, regardless of whether they have been spotted.
