P.S. Idea of that widget belongs to klapmongool. Thanks klapmongool!

Nice idea. I always do ctrl-z to select all then click the button, sucks a bit.

How about a more general version of the widget?
There are many units where I would like to use different default states than the game defines.
If one changes it in factory but then it is for all units...
So instead of having crawl_bomb_holdfire.lua and samson_auto_roam.lua and bertha_return_fire.lua and whatnot, how about one "state config widget"?
Where one can config what firestate and units use?

Say there would be a config like this:

Code: Select all

arm_rocko = {move=0, fire=2}
core_roach = {move=1, fire=2}
arm_bertha = {move=0, fire=1}

No entry means to use defaults.
Best of course also have different configs for games, like BA.lua, XTA.lua etc

knorke, there are "Blast radius", "hold fire" and "don't move" widgets. They are more general and you can configure them to tweak a game.

Many people have issues with installing widgets. This process is complicated for them. So editing widgets is a rocket sience. And I am not so cool to create user friendly GUI for that.

Hmm... for me a general version would also be very useful...
Maybe cooperate with funkencool: you make the backend (settings and config-I/O) and he makes a GUI... he's into "options" atm :)

Would be nice. Main problem with crawling bombs however was that they don't copy the 'hold fire' order from the lab..

Please add to the drawworld function:
"if Spring.IsGUIHidden() then return end"

To have a clean non-ui view of the map when pressing f5, like it should.

Can you add an option to make advanced core ones cloak when leaving factory ?
I know that is huge E-consumption, but on large scale/eco battle that will definitely fit.
