U guys know that this works with a simple Double-Right Click, Right??? I've been using this system for a while now, and In the map, it has some 'structions (instructions) to tell you to double click.
Lol, I thought everyone on SEN knew about this concept... heh...
You don't REALLY need shift... It makes it cumbersome and Tedious.
Double Right clicking is the obvious counterpart which isn't new at all; the concept of detecting a shift click through the difference of motion in two units (one with a predestined order) and then moving up the queue by canceling the order with the move action- setting it on the path it's supposed to go- is what the concept is about.

And I disagree, double right clicking is far more cumbersome and more clumsy than a single shift click.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I see that a Hotkey select (If wraiths are 2) and then a double right click would be far easier for a quick firing of a projectile.'

From 2 - Double Right click
or 2 - Shift - Right click

The left hand slows you down.

Not if you hold it on the keyboard, which many people do for quick group selection anyway.

you could make a hotkey-noob proof system. It prompts them, asks them to hotkey a unit before lights get shutoff then move it around. If they fail to hotkey then they have to watch a tutorial.

Or you could combine EUD selection detection of a unit and KEy presse's and detect if a player has unit X selected and key's CTRL + Y pressed.

Seriously? That's like saying that movement in a fps slows your firing rate... :P

I have however went with a double right click method instead. I personally like the shift-click, but couldn't find an easy way of setting it up for players. I did also notice that while using the shift click method I would hold the key down too often, like when commanding my hero unit to move... ahhh multi-tasking....

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.

Ultraviolet -- don't count your chickens before they're hatched :P

Excalibur -- Sie is really really good and I'm glad Clans had them do the terrain for the new map. I feel like not enough of Sie's stuff will ever get used on a finished map.
