I donno if it was removed or its a bug or what..... but when select a marine.... and give them a waypoint to build lets say a turrent how come it doesn't say "Build structor waypoint" and also use to give a build symbol for the waypoint

typical_skeleton

seems to happen to me, as well.

though I have seen the proper(?) build icons, etc, in 2.0.

it does work but you need to find the wright spot on your structures. which is a bit tiny. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Probobly something associated with the revamps to the command system. Doesnt really matter all that much though, if you command well then your marines will already know where your building.

Well its always worked in 1.04........ but i have once got it to show up in 2.0... i have tryed alot to...

I've noticed you don't get the "build structure at waypoint" but you just get a move to waypoint when you click on an unbuilt building.

Could be a collision code problem again....

Maybe not,because it always works when you give an order to build a structure at bast mstart

Because there's no such thing as a turrent or a structor. People: Please make sure you're spelling things correctly, and PLEASE use proper grammar.

I believe that there are specific hotkeys that are to be used for this sort of thing.

For example, H = build structure.
Hit H > right click on the unbuilt structure (I think).
I'm pretty sure there are quite a few new implementations of this nature, for example 'weld structure waypoint'.

Check out the controls menu for more info.

When you want a marine to build something, I noticed you have the have the marine already selected when you drop the structure in order for it to give the "build" waypoint. right clicking just sends out a waypoint unless you have that pin-point area which no comm wants to spend more than a second clicking for.

*cough*

GoldenShadow

that would be great if you could drop a welder on someone then give them a weld target waypoint to a damaged TF or something

MrG

CForrester i didn't ask for a spell check.... I know you have better things to do then fix peoples grammar and spelling....

There is no 'N' in 'turret'.

I actually think this upgrades the game a bit for marines

it used to be u had this huge flashing stroboscope hanging overhead, which sometimes, if not most of the times impaired vision

now, you get sent to the location, and any halfbaked marine knows un unbuilt structure when he sees one, neh ?

so please, don't fix this <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

if it was coded in because of the strobo problem, way to go, devs ! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

There is an 'N' in 'turrent' though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

PolyMorph

There is no 'turrent' in an English Dictionary.



And even if there were, its wouldn't be one of these <!--emo&::sentry::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/turret.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='turret.gif'><!--endemo-->

Definitely no N in "turret" !!

Who started using this word actually.

My guess is some smack tard who typed faster than his brain could work.
