New Elements For Commander Interface

<div class="IPBDescription">...Will make commanding more efficient.</div> There are a few ideas I have for the commander interface that people seem to love. So, I made a new topic just for it.

Here are the ideas:

-In the commander interface, there should be:

*A drop-down menu where the commander can click a teammates name and the map will snap to their location, and they will automatically be selected. This way, the commander doesn't have to kill time looking all over the map for them.

*A 'location finder' drop-down menu where the commander can click a listed location on the map, and the view will snap to that locatoin. eg the commander clicks Mess Hall; the map will snap to that location.

*There should be a 'give' drop-down menu where the commander can simply click a teammate's name, and then go to the 'Give Item' subtree, and in that subtree will be the guns, armor, etc all listed, which can be clicked, and will be automatically given to that marine.

I think these will make commanding much more efficient.

    I can see exploits for that already.. if it includes ammo or health anyway.

    Very discriptive...How exactly could you exploit it? I don't see what you're getting at.

    I'm sure you could make a macro to spam 'give health' to a player while hes in a fight so its nearly impossible for him to die

    Ahh, ok. Good thinking. Guess we can just cancel out that part.
