It would be awsome if anyone could make a widget so it would be possible to self reclaim labs.Without a con.just click a command and after x time it reclaims itslef.
Another usefull lua would be a lua that would emphesize commander and cons of t1 and t2.there should also be easy to see on the minimap..not only should the cons be emphesized but we need 3 types of emphesis 1 for com 1 for t1 cons and 1 for t2 cons...it should make them stick out from a crowd but not be too toyish or have some blinding over the top glow to them..something moderate.. thx in advance.

That's mod-specific.

Labs don't have a reclaim option, and never had one. I don't think it should be added.

Perhaps Noize could make cons a little more distinct on the minimap (I think I asked him for this before), as that would allow those of us with dual screens to see which is a con and which is a regular unit.

hmm a start i guess...
These call-outs can be used to simulate reclaiming:
Spring.SetUnitHealth - diminishing health
Spring.AddUnitResource - adding metal&energy make for the self-reclaiming factory
Spring.DestroyUnit - obvious
