New context menu question
« on: May 11, 2010, 11:43:58 pm »
So say I want to hold z and x so i can see enemy range and give right click move orders. is this still possible without going through the context menu? cause it seems to force me to the menu right now, where i want to issue simple right click move orders with the enemy arc ranges visible.

Gah, yea, I should have known there would be some conflict, even in the main attempt to reduce these conflicts ;)

As-is you'd have to temporarily release the X key when doing the right click to avoid the context menu popping up.

For a resolution I could have it not open a context menu if Z is also pressed... are there any other conflicts that would miss?

what about simply disabling the menu if any key other than x is pressed? seems simpler then playing whack-a-mole with issues..

another rt+click issue
Chaining move orders is broken in the alternate galaxy map (shift+rt+click does not work)
