Different Orders In Comm

j3st

<div class="IPBDescription">how to issue them</div> another quick question...

how do you issue an order as comm to a marine saying:

"build structure at waypoint"
"attack target"
"hold position"
"enemy nearby"
"pick up equipment at waypoint"

Click over the thing you want to be the target of the order, so like to give a building order click over the unfinished building.

You have to be perfectly accurate if you want to actually issue those commands... you're just not going to get them otherwise. Most of them I've only seen once or twice in my life, and I think I've issued the building command more than anybody else with a grand total of three build commands issued.

It's usually just better to have a microphone headset ready, or your fingers quick on the keyboard.

There's a mod which makes it much easier to click them though.

If that mod isn't installed, you're very limited on what you can do. The most i've ever done it a "Weld target at Waypoint" type, and a "Move to" type, oh and the "Build Target"

What about the enemy nearby one? I've heard that a grand total of once, and believe it or not, it was today on Halls of Armageddon.

I issue the build order waypoint a whole bunch of time... I just seem to be lucky with that one, but the others... so hard >_<

<b>Enemy nearby</b> waypoint is when you click on an alien or alien structure that has finished building. Even with the plugin, it's extremely hard to hit unless you can see the alien on your overview, and then what's the point since you can only see what your marines are looking at.

If you target an alien there is a bug which is still in existence (even though flayra said he fixed it) where after the alien dies and respawns, the waypoint will inaccurately track his movement. It's like free motion tracking, if motion tracking painted a huge shield that obscured your view of the target.

Buggy

To hell with waypoints. Just block your view.

Do everything in the form of song, if people mute you get an admin to ban them for not listening to the comm. isnt it sweet? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The attack target one is useful. Scan a room, target the skulk over the door and you just gave your marines MT for that skulk.

Don't ya love telling the noob rine to guard himself when he doesn't follow orders <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Only the select few have been able to issue the infamous 'Build Hive at Waypoint' waypoint.
