Selen in patch 3655

Postby R_Charger » 30 Aug 2016, 20:50

Good job on the new patch. Just one teeny weeny little thing! Before if I used Selens I could put them on hold fire (as soon as they came out of the factory), move them and when they stopped moving they would auto-cloak again. Now I have to move them, wait till they reach there destination then hit the cloak button. Also if I move them again I have to hit the cloak button a second time etc. Why the change? It makes them more difficult to use! Can it be changed so they autocloak once the cloak is activated and they stop moving?

Yes its possible to do and its very easy. Work automatic and remove all pointless clicking (when selen is in stealth turn gun off, when is not on stealth turn them on).

But for that you need better balance team, that on some unit dislike clicking because its anoying (cybran cruiser) and on some other units add it (because ohh have frendly to use unit will be too op)

Even with cloak button make automatic stop and get cloak is fair easy its jast one line in code.

Should be, but that'll mean they will always finish their orders before claoking. I found it annoying too, but got some feedback that it'd be better the way it's now.

If there are some more opinions in favour of the change and there are no technical problems with it we could change it in the next patch.

Its fine if they finish their orders before cloaking. If you want to cancel their orders can you not just press the stop key? That worked before and they cloaked.

It's not fixed in EQ. Making them auto-cloak is easy. Tying auto-cloak to selen-deselect AND a toggle? Nope.

we dont accept the toggle so i guess theres that.

ours autocloak and enter hold fire state when cloaked, so they work well with selen deselect.

Yeah the trouble was adding in the deselect functionality as default. However, I am giving this some more thought, it's very complex though.

Exotic_Retard and I are testing a new script which should be a step closer.
