To All You Marine Commanders...

<div class="IPBDescription">Watch those waypoints!</div> I was a marine today, our team was doing very well; we had taken one hive, taken out a 2nd, and were slowly working our way up the tech ladder to snag that third one. I had HA/HMG and was running fire support for the team, when I noticed something odd. The commander gave me a 'defend that target' waypoint that I couldn't find. I thought nothing of it, until I tried to walk backwards, away from a skulk...

The comm had accidentally waypointed me to protect myself, and the waypoint blocked my view.

The same thing happened when I aim 'up'...

Commanders, please try not to do this. It seems to only happen with HA, which is (I think) taller than normal marines...

    I intentionally set a waypoint on a player who does not follow orders, or just does things that annoy me while playing.. ( i.e. play music over voice, spam useless stuff, etc.)

    Most cases though, it is just a mistake..

    Lots of times when I'm commanding, I can not do anything and yet mysteriously I *still* give waypoints to random soldiers. Weird bug that happens occasionally. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Click on marine, and then right click on him. Viola! Marine is now helplessly unable to aim while moving backwards, or looking up!

    You don't have to have HA in order to have a waypoint on top of yourself. Some comm put a "build structure at target" on top of me once <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Giving me another wp solved the prob
