KayEhn Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 So, real quick, i was playing basically a sandbox with the other player in unassigned and using the 'control all units', and i think it would be much better if that could be fixed so youcan control what the other player builds, not just gathers, so you don't have to worry as much about the population limit imposed by not being able to build anything for them.

So there is not much reason for us to improve it unless you can show there is a common use for it, what you described sounds unusual.

The idea i proposed was just a way to help make a bigger, more realistic and safe environment to build and experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykkrosh Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think a better solution would be to add a button that lets you switch to the perspective of a different player, so you can fully control their units and see their resource counters etc. Should be fairly easy to implement, and would avoid the complexity of supporting a special control-all-units mode in the GUI scripts and in the simulation scripts.

That would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
