sniper bot micro

[keyser]

is it possible to toogle sera sniper bot to move mod after using the slow sniping shot to move faster (while recharging) then switching back to slow sniping mod and shoot asap is possible ?

shoot (2k shoot), switch, back faster, switch back, shoot (2k shoot)

And if it's not possible, is there any way to make them not shoot while moving, or make them stop to shoot, then get back to moving ?
they are too much un-accurate when moving. And micro isn't easy (need to stop them when they are going to shoot....)

I think it would be possible to force them to stop moving to shoot in sniper mode, if that's what people want, with fire-on-the-move only possible in nonsniper mode ?

If you holt alt, and right click the direction for them to go, wont they STOP when the reach something, and fire?

In Nomads, we created the "anchor ability" to tell a unit to not move even if selected for our sniper tank and a couple other units (mobile TMD and MML). I guess it can be used for the sniper bots as well. I don't think Brute51 would mind if his code is borrowed, providing it's asked nicely.

I made the icons for it, I don't mind if they are borrowed (they can probably be improved).

and if you want to shoot at something in particular ?
if you give a attack order on the unit, i'm pretty sure they will shoot on what is in their range. And then need to wait 14 sec to be able to shoot at the specific unit.

switching to fast mode between 2 salves of slow mode isn't possible ?
