Acanthis Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Yesterday I observed a player pause a batch of slingers in order to research a phase upgrade. The slingers had a forward facing hand indicating they were paused halfway through. I haven't seen this before, how is it done? I'm not sure when it would be useful but perhaps it could be. Also, if you pause a batch of units, does the population "return" that they were using or is it also held (as it should be...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acanthis Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Ah, ok, must be a mod. Thanks @seeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentula Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Is this what you mean @Acanthis? It's the hotkey.session.pushorderfront hotkey, introduced in Alpha26. No additional mods needed for it. The hotkey is not assigned by default to any key combination, so it's available for rebinding. See here and here for development reference.

Acanthis Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 @Mentula ah ok! Thanks for the clarification. I'll add it to a hotkey and try it out sometime, though I'm still not entirely sure when I'd use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) The hotkey doesn't seem to work for me or I don't understand how to use it. Yes, I set a hotkey for hotkey.session.pushorderfront but using it only seems to remove the item from the queue.

Freagarach Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 With that hotkey, you can push any new order to the front of the queue. E.g. clicking the phasing button will make it the first. (It can also be used for orders issued to units.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see now that it only works on new queue items, not on items already in the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
