welders and armor

clankill3r

So often it's hard to get welded on a public server.
People, where like butter without armor!

it would be nice if:

-an advanced armory can repair armor
-show who has a welder in the score board
-repair armor when building a structure with a welder
-a welder badge for marines that have more then 50% of the time a welder after the 5 minutes mark.

And as last, make the macs a bit smarter since it's hard to make the marines smarter. How many times do I see a player getting a weld from a mac and moving to the enemy while the mac follows him to complete the weld...
I think selecting a mac and right click on a structure should keep the mac within a certain radius of that structure.

-"repair armor when building a structure with a welder"
Unintuitive as it may be, if you press E and build any of the structure, then you can build the structure with your welder for armor. Making just building with a welder repair would alleviate some of ns2's intuitiveness.

"I think selecting a mac and right click on a structure should keep the mac within a certain radius of that structure."
I thought you could do this already. On TGNS pre game bots mode I will set one mac to defend a sentry battery by clicking on the mac then the structure. A little shield icon comes up. I thought that was the behavior of this.

@ironhorse because you seem to be concerned with making ns2 more intuitive.

Yep, it already works that way.

hmmm...welder badge for repairing 10,000 points of player armor. Yay for positive reinforcement of good behavior!
