Simpler multi demolishing

[Emdek]

Thinking now... what about some dragging box.

Selecting areas to demolish using selection box. (Like when you select multiple units)

This is what I've suggested - rubber band selection.
It's consistent with other types of selection, but I guess that it in case of structures it could allowed only for demolishing.

It's been committed to trunk and will be in 3.0 alpha 1 - r10766. We're discussing whether or not we want it in 2.3.1.

You want it to be!!!

Found it! I should be able to fix this, now. See #1820

Sounds like a pretty straightforward (function-wise) fix, nice job!

What do you all mean, that you can order units to guard any area,
that where you push with left mouse button, and they attack there, if any enemy base is present?
I think that driving group of units by, and drive them on, will do much more damage to enemy,
than selecting one target and so on.
Driving commander unit or more of course.
Oh we cant move it jet with keyboard. This is bad.

No, we all meant an easier way of "selling back" old structures to get power back and freeing (often precious) space in your base for new ones. In the current system the player has to select a truck, open the build menu, select the "demolish structure" option, click a building, then go to the build menu again, select the same button, click another structure, and so on...

What was proposed is that you were able to click the "demolish structure" once and then select multiple buildings to demolish.

Demolish isn't the same as destroy - I guess that it was what caused the confusion.

I'm so sorry. I didn't look to my dictionary first.
I don't need it anyway, its not fun for me to build defenceless structures,
just not in this Warzone2100 game.
Well its just remake right, but something special wont work for me. I can respect wishes, please never mind.
I love game as it is, but miss a lot driving and moving in champaign game.
Let me explain. If I need to defend my commander tank, jump in view and move little all assigned tanks come back to me, as command regroup, and than is easiest to play, with repaired not destroyed tanks.
Or they need to follow me.
And sorry for my bad language, if you cant understand it, I'm in wrong place.
Edited little. And cant say any more.

Could you speak in your native language? I don't think I've ever understood more than half of what you're saying...

Let me explain. If I need to defend my commander turret, jump in view and move little all assigned turrets come back to me, as command regroup, and than is easiest to play, with repaired not destroyed turrets.

You mean like drive mode?

1. Turn debug mode on SHIFT + BACKSPACE
2. Select the unit to control
3. Press spacebar
4. Press SHIFT + D

Viola!

That is not enough for me, not jet.
