Spring RTS Engine

Would be really useful if the fight command could have a line dragged like the move command, sometimes you want to move your units with fight but don't want them to end up in a clump.

What you mean with line? queing up move commands to make the unit not take a direct route?

Like Line move.

I agree kdr. I would much like to have this feature.

yes i often was annoyed at the lack of this

Yes, this would allow me to reduce my micro-time for some semi-interesting assaults I've been making of later.

+1

I agree. This helps with attacking, and keeping your guys out of groups and stuff.

The implementation of this was just committed to svn.

In the mean time, I have a workaround. Do a line-move first, then ctrl+click the fight move command which keeps them in the same line formation.

Sweet!

or use the custom formations widget, which already can do so

It works for fight also?

Yep, was added in some version.

How does it work through UI?

exactly the same as the line order it replaces.

Instead of dragging a line you draw a line. If you want a curved line or a loop in the middle you can do that.

I thought that only worked for move, not fight.

Would be cool if it worked for fight, and patrol too (though that can be done with repeat-fight orders anyway).
