Best BA widgets / Most useful key commands.

Post by Zonk »

I was wondering what widgets other people use, apart from standard BA widgets.

I currently use the following widgets:

-Obdient Constructors v4:
If cons get a order after guard, the guard is cancelled.

-Protective Guard:
Makes units that guard another unit stand in front and (if enough guards) around the unit thats being guarded.

-Set Target Default:
Name says it all.

-Spy Emp and Decloak Range v2:
Shows those ranges for the spy, similar to the comblast widget. Really useful if u use spys alot for emp.

Useful key commands:

ALT: Insert unit at front of factory build queue

Space - inserts command at front of command chain - good for having ur cons build a few LLT without canceling build queue

Ctrl-move: units move at speed of slowest unit in the group


Also, does anyone know a widget that will auto-add new units to a group?
i.e. I'm building Rockos (group 1), Peewees (group 2), Fleas (group 1) and Rezbots (group 3).
Ideally a widget would auto-add new flea/rocko to group1, peewee to group2, etc.

Go to http://widgets.springrts.de/ and look for "Auto Group" : assigns by ALT+num unit-types to groups. Very useful :-)

That site is not really up to date anymore. I think best place to get widgets is the appropriate part of the forum or springfiles.

Now that you mention it....

Pretty sure this widget is by now part of BA.

But some might be double with now included widgets.

This is actually pretty handy as a list of possible widgets/ideas for the future. Thanks all :)

I just use a widget that displays the real world clock, sometimes the ecostats widget, and a widget that disables the nag text when you press escape (I use it for unselecting units and cancelling commands).
