@jip said in Developers Iteration III of 2023:
Distribute orders
You can now distribute (or: spread) any order type! With thanks to @Strogo,
KionX
andRTD
who made an engine patch to make this possible. This new implementation intends to improve upon the old spread attack implementation. We're looking forward to hear your feedback on how it works....
Apologies if I'm being dumb but I've tried using this and don't understand why it's not working - perhaps someone can put me straight
My assumption is I can select a bunch of units, issue a sequence of orders to all of them as a group, then press this key and it should change the order into a separate order for each of the selected units to do part of the task (e.g. as shown in the screenshot, a long wall will be broken into short sections, each one done by a different engineer).
The same as how Split Attack works.
I select a group of engineers, give a series of orders, then press the key I have assigned (which is ` [backtick], if that matters)
It just cancels the original series of orders and all the engies immediately go idle...
I've tried holding down Shift after giving the orders and whilst pressing the hotkey, doesn't make any difference.
How is the hotkey supposed to be used? Can someone spell it out....
Thanks
