im a newb to ns, i just tried playing commander to learn how to use them, i made a lan game
i went on the commander thing and every time i tried to build something on the green area and clicked nothing would happen it wouldnt build. now my question is how do u build is there a different button to press when the structure is at the mouse cursor. every time i try and build something i jsut hear a sound but nothing happens.
im sorry if this has been covered already but i read the ns manual and looked around in this site but it doesnt mention anything on how or what button there is to press when building.

2)1.04 server side patch (good for testing out whats the current updates are like)
ok..in a lan game, enable cheats so the game starts, and u hear the start game timer. set sv_cheats "1". Then u can start building stuff in marines..F4 back to the ready room and try the kharaa side of things.Dont worry the game will not end. explore around, esp the huge maps! Needs nemore Q'ns, post back here <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
To remedy, you'll need sv_cheats 1, as Lock said.
You don't need sv_cheats 1 when playing on an online server/ server with players of course <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
join marines
bring down the console (press the key below ESC on your keyboard)
type sv_cheats 1
once game starts, hop in the comm chair
type givepoints
repeat above until you have enough res to build stuff
type bigdig
this way any building you drop will build itself, saving you the hassle of hopping in and out of the comm chair every few seconds.
Press F4
join aliens
type givepoints
repeat as necessary
type spawnhive
repeat above to spawn the third hive, or evolve to gorge and build it yourself
try evolving into a gorge and building defense, movement and sensory chambers
play around with the upgrades
type kill to respawn
Enjoy!
