"Smartcast" for Com/Kham abilities.

How about a change to the commander interface that allows you to drop meds/ammo/enzyme/etc wherever your mouse is by simply tapping their respective buttons instead of having to click repeatedly?

This would get rid of accidental clicks that may select random objects or players in the world and would allow a much faster response time for both Marine and Alien commanders.


In example, say you want to drop a meds and ammo on a marine currently. Instead of rapidly tapping E, S, & A, clicking in between S and A where you could easily select random units on the field, you could instead simply mouse over where you want the meds or ammo to drop, press E, and then tap whichever keys you wish without fear of a wrongful selection.

    Awesome idea. Just make sure to have an option for the other way. Or make it an option to turn smartcast on.

    How about holding down A or S and then clicking freely without fear of selecting another unit/building until you let off the the key.
    I posted this in the googlewhatever thingy for ideas devs posted few months back, but it didn't follow through somehow.

    I like this idea. I'm always messing up the order of my key presses and clicks. Good marines are dying because of this, and a lot of mediocre marines are dying because of this. Skulks are pretty okay with this.
