gui456wSERTDYF Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 In previous versions of 0AD there was a button (with an engine icon if I recall correctly) that would send units back to work. It was super useful. I cannot find it now. I am also wondering whether the "delete button" is useful to have it there at all. After all, a delete operation is so intuitive that even my grandpa could figure out that the "delete" key is the shortcut for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurken Khan Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 The back to work button (a pointing hand) is displayed contextually; if the order isn't applicable you won't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gui456wSERTDYF Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 It does not show up in my 0AD. The hotkey Y works but I never see the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampot Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 this button really not present also in situation where you would expect it will be there. so contextual mechanism not working correctly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thephilosopher Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I seem to remember this issue arising a few other times, mainly the one about it not being present when you expect it to be there. I think the usual problem is that if you happen to make a stray click or give an additional order to some units, the "back to work" button disappears. The button only appears when you go directly from resource-gathering to fighting without giving them additional orders after the fight. Once you've given additional orders after the fight, you no longer get the "back to work" button.

Gurken Khan Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) @thephilosopher I went directly from resource gathering to fighting, I'm sure I didn't give additional orders - and still the back to work button didn't appear when the trespasser was dead. Edit: Maybe my "mistake" was that I didn't de- and re-select those soldiers; I did that with those horsies above. Edit2: Nah, tried that too; guess it doesn't feel like showing up this game...

Stan` Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I think it might be a space problem. There can be only 6 icons on that panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gui456wSERTDYF Posted January 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 In my case I have never seen it since the latest version of 0AD. The `y` hotkey however works fine and I am now using that. I would certainly remove the 'delete' button as it is super intuitive the hotkey.

I think that "three swords" button was added then. For all I care it could disappear again. I never use it, and especially for ships I don't think it makes any sense. I have never seen a discussion about, but maybe if more people stated that they would prefer other buttons.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have problems using the search in trac and couldn't find one. I'd create one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
