Exploding ACU mystery theatre!

Postby Doompants » 30 Sep 2012, 20:57

Hey. I've watched through replays before where people say their ACU explodes for no reason, and have usually been able to determine the cause (like bomber wrecks falling on t2 power causing chain reacts, etc) but this guy just literally blew up for no reason I can see. No CTRL-k countdown. Just died. Any sleuths want to take a look?

[Edit. I'm so blind, I could be an NFL replacement Ref. Watched twice before I posted, from his camera view, and missed it both times I guess. A WINNER IS ME!]

Watch it slow and from his view. Than you will see the "5" and "4" appears above his ACU Head ;)

Jeez. I did that before I posted. Watched from his perspective, and didnt see anything. Of course, I just watched it again, and this time I see it. /sigh. I lose.

On a side note, if people are really accidentally ctrl-k'ing their commander, maybe it's time to grab GAZ_UI and change it to ctrl+shift+k or something?

I'd highly refuse to change basic hotkeys.
Especially since crtl+k is quite important when you need to kill engies to prevent XPs to get vet.

And actually, it happens very very rarely.

I changed it to ctrl + end ... :) its far far away from ctrl + l what is used for selecting all land units - since that I'm not anymore the master of ctrl-k but unfortunately still the master of running into several PDs with my ACU :)

ctrl + end is by the way more logical :-p

~1500 global / ~1100 ladder

A warning could be added for when the ACU is about to be given the crtl+k command. It's not hard to make it appear only when the commander is selected and crtl+k is pressed.
