Unit Move Lines

Post by doughsay »

Hi, new to BA and Spring. I’ve noticed that in Zero-K, when moving units, they show green lines pointing to their destination while holding the shift key. For me, in BA, the green lines are always visible while the units are selected. As you can imagine, this clutters the screen up very quickly with a large amount of units selected. How can I get the behavior as described in Zero-K to work in BA?

In cmdcolors.txt
change:
alwaysDrawQueue 1
into
alwaysDrawQueue 0

This should never have been made the Spring default imo.

Thanks! I agree, that's a terrible default.

How to display these commands even if units are not selected? And for ally units too?

I love these command lines so much!

Displaying it for everything would potentially cause a fps drop big enough to be harmful, if there's enough units.

Tapping ctrl-a lets you see all of your own units queues briefly btw.
Just don't misclick before deselecting them.

You can use the widget "Show Orders".
You can change the line 79 and 90 as : if not (shift) then return end.

you need to remove the condition of the meta keys. widget will work with the shift.
