Engineer attack move and zoom

Postby Spy_Emanciator » 01 Mar 2020, 22:46

Ok so noticed small issue with behavior of alt clicking (attack move) of dropped engineers on trees and other reclaim. If your zoomed in, your alt right click will start a normal reclaim command instead of an attack move command. This can be resolved by zooming significantly out, where the tree objects are less clickable, but its an annoying extra step, especially when dropping a full t1 transport early in the game. Let alt click be attack move only and disable the target locking regardless of zoom.

Thanks

I wish there were a button to hold that prevented game object interaction. I.E. when holding say (tilde), right click always (attack) moves. This would also improve close quarters ACU and engineer dodging.

set attack move before engies load into transport and they will have it right after unloading. ;)
1 click load into transport
2 click attack move before they are loaded
3 when they are unloaded they will have that attack move

This works for low numbers or all drop to 1 place. if your spreading your engines out over a large area of trees or rocks then no time saved. Its just a convenient thing to have consistent functionality from alt click. attack move towards a selectable object should just have an attack direction not revert back to right click.
