| Summary | 0006606: Rightclick attack order on sidebar | ||||
| Description | Very often, I find myself wanting to give attack orders to a group for an AI eye, where I have my whole Spire Fleet there. It is almost impossible to do so, because so many ships are spawning on top of it and they get orders, rather then the AI eye. I would like to see an option where you can right click on a unit on the side bar, and have the select go an attack the closest one and continue to do so until there is no more units of that type on the planet. | ||||

Well, "closest one" can be tricky to find out. If there is only one unit select or one possible target unit, this is easy. But what if there are multiple ships selected and you rightclick on a ship type with multiple of them on that planet? Should each ship go to the one that is closest to it, possibly splitting up the group? Or should all of them choose the one that is closest to their "average position"? And should average position be a weighted average (giving the positions of long range or "bigger" ships more weight than others), or just a normal average? |
|
|
The best way to do it, might be each unit goes for the closest one unless you select group move, then they all go for the weighted average closer unit. |
|

@Eternaly_Lost Great idea, but what should the weight for the average be over? Range, cost, "tier of ship"? |
|
|
I think that Range would be the best to weight it over. But we can hear what other people think. |
|
|
Just pick one at random. Maybe have it just set target preference if the rightclick is on a fleetship type or something else that appears by the dozen. If the player rightclicks the sidebar that's probably because there's only one or two of that type on the planet and he wants them all dead. |
