[Feature Request] send signal a point on the map to teammates

[andy5995]

 I suggest something like MegaGlest has: press 'x' and click on the map (or mini-map). A sound alert is issued to your teammates, and the area that was clicked pulses/flashes briefly on the mini-map.

Is wanted feature, but 'X' is for training units right now.

I like this. It's been a staple for me in Team Games. Especially that it's useful to aggressive, defensive, and support players.

Good ideia and i have one good trick for the press key problem

You can do like "League of Legends"

Select a random place on the map with your second mouse click and press what you want !

Ok looks nice.

I don't know yet if I'll be working on this patch or not. As @Lion.Kanzen mentioned, there is a ticket for it. Once I'm able to log in to trac, I'll add a link to this forum post.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Nobody is working on it, you can take it. @elexis these kind of  tickets can use phabricator tool to be discussed?

[elexis]

trac is for ideas, phabricator is for code

[Lion.Kanzen]

thank you Elexis.

[andy5995]

@Lion.Kanzen I know I "could", but I'm not sure yet if I *want* to. I'm trying to spend a bit less time on the computer lately. It seems to affect my sleep quite a bit, also some physical pain issues I'm dealing with.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Some excediste canbrelese and normalize the health drink some teas like mint and other and you see how the body naturally responds to their natural way.

Copy RoNs flaring/signaling style. You can even draw or write things.

[andy5995]

Looks like this was implemented and the ticket closed:  https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/3491

 

And an open ticket for a map flare (though I don't know yet what the difference is) https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/6078

[andy5995]

You can use K+Right click to send a flare. I don't know what you mean by "automatically"...

[Freagarach]

The difference is that #6078 is about triggers, not user interactions. So one could have a scenario that pings the player to a certain location.

he means signaling the position of each player to his/her allies.

sounds like a good idea to me, although it's not better than each player giving the position in chat, so that you know where's who.

[Ceres]

How do you communicate via chat your position? Does the map always have the same orientation for all players? Then using something like "I'm at 3 o'clock between the 2 mountains". But the flare is really nice - and easier. Sometimes, I wish it would not disappear so fast.

yes it does. it is a well established convention to comunicate the position on the clock by just typing the number at the beginning of the match. it's very fast and simple and just good enough for most maps.

I expect you to stop using the mouse entirely at some point.
