Controlpanel for grouped units
Posted: 07 Jun 2006, 18:55
Hi!
I have had some problems coordinating large attacks with many different parties (joint foces strike), which were supposed to be in a certain order. Now I had the idea it would be usefull to have a controlpanel, which controls grouped units. You could queue movement and attackorders for unitgroups 1-0 (10) and they would appear on the panel in "waiting" status. Then you could position your overallview, pointing at the target area and you could launch the groups by toggeling them to "execute queued commands". Then you could set this up and not klick about on t he map for the time of the attack. Vice versa you could do this for countermessures and fire them when attacked.
My problem I have no idea about programming this - maybe someone likes the idea and could implement this.
