mass Derrick creation

[Rommel]

Some custom maps have like 40+ oil wells and you have to create a derrick manually each one. I would propose that if a truck selects the derrick in the build menu and drags it across multiple oil wells it will que them (kind of like when creating walls and such).

You can already queue construction orders.

1. Select truck(s)
2. Hold down sift key
3. Click each oil resource in turn

Your trucks will build derricks on the selected oil resources, one after another.

Command queueing works with any construction, movement, pickup (artefact/oil barrel), attack, etc. Just hold down shift key while giving multiple orders.

You can only give 11 construction orders at atime,how can I increase that to more or unlimited like it is in some master releases?

[Rommel]

yes I know about holding shift, but it is still tedious to have to click on 40 plus derricks, I would like to be able to create them like you do multiple walls, bunkers, etc

@Ken+J: What version of Warzone are you using? In 3.1 I'm not sure the 11 order limit exists any more, I seem to be able to queue way more orders than that.

@Rommel: On most maps (high oil being the exception) the derricks are not placed next to each other. I think it's going to be better if you just get used to producing more trucks and queueing their construction orders.

About building and the Trucks, is it possible to make a "master Truck" ? This so I can control 1 truck, tell it what I want to be built and have like 3 "slave Trucks" following it, building what the "master Truck" is building. If not, I want that function !

Technically, yes it's possible. You could modify your rules.js file to create a chat-controlled micro truck AI.

You could issue a command like "X derricks" (where X is your player ID, which will be 0 on skirmish/challenge maps, or if you're host of an MP game).

It would then find an available truck and set it to work on building derricks, within a certain radius of your base.

@aubetgine: I still like the 2.3 versions of the game, don't ask me why but I do.They are closer to the orignal of the game I guess and I also love ntw and the vtol trucks.I still don't understand why ntw and vtol trucks have been removed.I will always think that the vtol trucks were the best upgrade to the game.
