option to follow selected unit


option to follow selected unit

Postby yuit » Sep 15, 2001 @ 9:36pm

the game looks great so far but i had an idea about adding an option to allow the screen to center on the selected units and automatically follow them when they move.  this would alleviate some of the problems of the small screen and lack of mouse.<br><br>just a thought

unless you have units you don't want to follow; especially when you have several groups of units o  different parts of the map.

No, this is a cool idea, like in Shattered Galaxy. You should implement this, CARPE.

yeah, if you could just press F or something when a unit is selected to switch the camera to it. i dunno how u would implement that since u cant really press F on the PPC in the game.

I'm weird I guess, I've never thought it to be any easier to follow my units by just dragging along the map with the stylus :/  But then again, thats just me :)
