The original functionality still exists and will continue to construct units if you have Factories/Builders/Engineers selected. If you don't, it'll select the units that are in your view. (If you press a key that is assigned to build tanks without a factory selected, it will select all of those tanks that you can see on the map). This is a tester version, I'm mainly looking for opinions and feedback to improve it but I stand strong with the idea and hope this will bring some advantages to your games. It IS a UI mod so it's usable in any game without bringing too much of an advantage to the player that is using it. It's just an extra method to help with those who would like to train their APM. (Hopefully the mod doesn't make things too confusing). Download can be found at the bottom of this thread.
Quick Warning (Don't Panic)
This mod works with both hotkey layouts (yes there are two).
Hotkey Set 1 (Groups of Units):
Hotkey Set 2 (Individual Units):
The mod works better if you have your hotkeys set up for individual units (Set 2). It works with the groups, but it causes a tiny amount of lag (just under a second) where it's running through each category that's found in the specific group. (The lag depends on the size of the group too so please bear that in mind). This is not going to be a constant issue and will eventually be fixed when a decent method is found. I'd recommend setting some hotkeys to individual units to stop this, but that's up to you. The lag is barely noticeable but is still present.
End of Warning
Give it a test and see what you think! It won't break or cause any issues with current game mechanics, just be aware of the lag that you've been warned about. Have fun and happy hunting!
