1.1 : Is Commander Right Click Fixed?

Home_Star_Runner · April 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">... don't remember seeing it around..</div> Just curious if there's been any mention of the right click being fixed in 1.1 for commander?

For those who don't know, sometimes you just can't right click waypoints or structures etc etc...

Thanks!

As I recall, there was talk of the inability to (left-click) select structures being fixed.. not certain if the waypoint bit has been fixed or not. Which would be particularly handy given the slew of new maps that very few know their way around as of yet.
Heh... anyone else ready for the throwback to v1.0 days, when you try to talk your Marines along a corridor to where you need them to go? Can't just tell them the room name, because no one knows where it is, and/or how to get there?

Limited-scale version of this happened when Greedo released ns_lost, and everyone spent a good chunk of the map just wandering around, then going 'Oh! Found a Hive, commander'. Which was, in itself, kinda cool. Having that exploratory factor, including the Aliens getting lost as the vent they're in ends up looping back on itself, or coming out in a room on the other side of the wall you needed to get past.

Hopefully we'll see a LOT of new maps before long, so people are kept on their toes.. not just remembering where everything is in a level and being able to get there via the fastest possible route.

When I started playing I always got stuck...
hehe
In the same places over and over...
A tip for new players: Don't run directly towards the waypoint

I can't give orders inside ns_tanith marine base, never could, no way in hell to put a WP in there...
"Why is it an invalid order to try to make people build in our starting location?"

Game wants you to relocate ?
hehe

I too would like to see that bug fixed. It might be something with the map however.

Another thing related to that is sometimes if you select a building, it will drop when you right click. I cant seem to find a way to unselect the building so I can give a proper waypoint, so I just right click anyways, and sometimes the building/ammo/medpack will drop when not intended.

I just thought of something interesting to add in, but it can be a pain.

When you give somebody a waypoint, they will see a blue line on the floor that will lead them to it. They get to a corridor than the line makes a left and then a right and the trooper will just follow that left and right sequence. Would be a sprite kinda thing, but would be hard because you have to make a sprite path for every single area which can be a pain. Unless if there is some other way to do it.

No thats not entirely possible. If you did that you would need premade path generation on the maps. It's really not worth the time. Besides, thats only required for new players. People who like the game learn the maps and wont need those. Arrows like that would be far too annoying in the long run.

tommyd · April 2003

this problem is fixed in ns_tanith 1.1

Sephiroth2k · April 2003

well you wouldn't need premade path generation. you could make waypoints like they are in other rts games. go here, go here go here, go here, attack, defend, go here, etc. the only problem i could think of is abuse. commander clicking herehereherehereherehere^3. you get the idea...

STO · April 2003

Just so I don't have to start a new thread, does anyone else have the problem with pressing a movement key? I press it to let's say go left and it goes left but it keeps going for more than I'd like. It's like a lagged reaction when I know it shouldn't. Hope that makes some sense. Thanks.

Sephiroth2k · April 2003

yeah, that happens fairly often <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> hopefully they fix that in 1.1 too...

The bug is map dependant, so the mappers are working on it for 1.1.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but what is the bug? Is it an entity in the wrong place? Or a brush that overlays the area being affected? Or something else?

SoulSkorpion · April 2003

While we're at it, has anyone heard anything at all about whether there will be an option for left-click interface any time in the future?

LockNLoaded · April 2003

theres also the part where i click on a structure ie arms lab and instead the selector goes to the console chair instead. happens a lot when u relocate your base especially.

Young_Trotsky · April 2003

Yeh, hopefully the bug where you cant select buildings in the eclipse hive on ns_eclipse or the sewer hive on ns_caged will be fixed, that pisses me off!

Cereal_KillR · April 2003

actually you can select them but it's really hard.

for example there is an armory and a CC, and you want to up the armory. Select a bit further than the bugging building

^ = pointer

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
(C)....(A)
..........^
this will select the CC
</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>
(C)....(A)
.....................^
This will select the Armory
</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

not that it might not work in the case of another building on the other side. Try always to get the furthest you can from other buildings
