Targeting system

Postby Mechsangoku » 21 Aug 2015, 17:14

Hi All

I don't count the number of time, ppl die because of some misplaced shots of the commander when in combat.

Do we have a priority list ?

Seems a commander (and probably other units) is targeting AA first, then the farther unit.

Sometimes, you would like him to target the strongest, or the closest, because of terrain, or because of enemy ACU presence. So you micro it to kill one unit or target one unit, and then it switches back to watever.

Giving the possibility of choosing beforehand the target priorities would be a massive improvement for strategy and micro.

just wait for targeting priorities from domino to be integrated. You may wait few month before it is integrated though.

If I could remake supcom from scratch, one of the things I'd do is I'd let players choose their targetting priorities for their units before battle. Sadly, targeting priorities are controlled in blueprits and scripts do they almost have to be the same for everyone.
