Warzone 2100 Forums

Would it be possible to add an option that wld make Health Bars stay or a button that when held down shows the HP of everything you own.

Like F9?

so one does exsist?
thank you

yessssss, another that thinks reading is for the geeks . . . all information regarding this game can be had just by going and doing a search ... or better yet - just read the development tab ... keyboard shortcuts just happen to be there...

would be awesome for the brain cells to have a workout...right???

well to be fair i played the psone version first so i already knew how to play the game and wanted to rush into it for memory purposes. and i did look when i first got this game but it slipped my mind.

just going by the Willis . . . do we know you by any other name, such as perhaps willis of LOK ????

The F9 key is a good hint.

But the enemy are still without visible health bars. I must right click on every enemy unit to get the health status. It is possible to activate/deactivate the health status with F9 also for the enemy.

Can we default that to Alt?

I think that's what most games do. Hold down Alt to see everyone's HP.

isn't it better if we use always show health bar?

You forget the morons who made Alt the default for window actions in some environments like Gnome, when when perfectly suitable alternatives like a "windows" key are available on most any keyboard, and not used by applications usually.

I was thinking it would be weird with all the alt+* commands we have in warzone. Aren't they alt+* in linux, also (alt+h, alt+LMB, etc)?

Some games I know give trouble with alt+tab when mapping the function you say.
Some of them even became locked and I had to restart them.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm more like saying that it should be done carefully.

back to my suggestion: simply leave F9 and add the functionality so show the health bars of the enemy units.
