units designation aborted after repair??
when i assign a unit as no.x, as soon as it goes to repair it immediately and automatically looses the designation x. Why? i think a unit should retain its designation number even after repair. no?

It is a convenience feature. Otherwise you'd pull it back into combat and off repair duty when you re-select the group with the number key and click to move/attack somewhere.

Isn't that what commanders are for?
We want information... information... information.
Re: units designation aborted after repair??
you press group x, then choose damage threshold, then attack. those lower than the threshold stop being chosen but continue to bear the x designation. in other words, if a unit x is heavily damaged and in its way to be repaired the player is responsible to attack only with healthy units of the x group, and thus exclude damage units from the attack order.Per wrote:It is a convenience feature.

1. press x
2. select damage threshold (which will automatically select healthy units and exclude damaged ones)
3. attack with the remaining healthy units of group x while damaged ones go to repair.
repaired x units should not loose the designation x in that process while they're being repaired.
i'm not sure u got me !!!

I have no idea what commanders are for and i don't think there can be place for them in a game so fast-paced as wz!cybersphinx wrote:Isn't that what commanders are for?

And that's exactly what the commanders are for. So it must be the same for your ideameeso wrote:I have no idea what commanders are for and i don't think there can be place for them in a game so fast-paced as wz!cybersphinx wrote:Isn't that what commanders are for?
Heretic 2.3 improver and proud of it.
Re: units designation aborted after repair??
yes .. commanders are one thing, what i'm talking about here is another .. you see i do not want to worry about building commander turrets and assigning units to it .. i just want the repair process to change ... no interest whatsoever in commanders !! Commanders is one way to do it, maybe, but there is no need to use commander SOLELY for this purpose.
Re: units designation aborted after repair??
One obvious solution is to enter SQL-like SELECT statements in the command console, something like:
select droids where unit_id = "1" and damage < MEDIUM_DAMAGE and weapon_type = "cannon"
select droids where unit_id = "1" and damage < MEDIUM_DAMAGE and weapon_type = "cannon"

IIRC commanders are currently "buggy" about attaching and detaching units in MP.cybersphinx wrote:Isn't that what commanders are for?

@SQL lol
@Topic: We need to remeber that for some people, the detaching of repaired units from the group is actually the desired behaviour.

Re: units designation aborted after repair??
btw, obviously six units per commander is intended in mp, but it makes command turret completely worthless, at least to me.
would anyone care to revert this change?

Re: units designation aborted after repair??
Then it becomes the responsibility of the player to make the change, not that of the system!! all these things which happen automatically without you being able to control them should change, this includes artillery weapons and structures firing automatically without you being able to stop them; sometimes resulting in mortars firing at your own building and units when enemy units approach your own. You know, at least let's make it optional. click a button to decide what repair process you want, and click another button to just stop these freaking mortars from firing at your own stuff. or just to stop. it's my army, i have the RIGHT to shut down some weapons i don't want to use!!

Re: units designation aborted after repair??
Do you guys have in mind that this number of maximum controlled units per commander unit can be increased each time it reaches a higher rank than Rookie?
The Command Turret come in handy in singleplayer campaign and skirmish, helping assigned units to achieve better perfomance in-combat.
This can be applied in MP, but it's rare to to see someone making use of it, especially in competitive matches.
