Feature request: Shift Click unit selection icons.

So still up in the air, but I am not able to shift and select the unit icons amongst the group of units in area selection.

So if I want to select a ton of units I can area select, then I can pick 1 unit out of the group, or X out of the ones I don't want.

We should be able to. Shift+select 2-3 unit types to move them in cohesion.

Should be a very simple fix.

You can't do this......awkward.

Should have really been included same time as box selecting.

yes this is an obvious one and I'm glad it's been brought up because it's not as if it's not on our minds.

666!! thank you @drewsuser ! we have summoned Inglip once again!! Muahahaha

nobody screw this up please!!!

uhm I just tried this and it worked for me.

They're fast!
I'm not going to mention how this topic came about, or any names, ehem!

lol.

and @squishypon3 , @donut64 , screw you guys too! : ( /jk ^^

I suddenly despise that post and have unliked it.

lol, if @donut64 does it too I can be right back at 666 !

I had a chance to try it in game today and it does NOT work. Maybe I'm describing it wrong?

Am not near my computer to try but I'm sure you are correct in saying it doesn't work. klovian is asking to be able to shift click these icons not just click on one of them. So you have 5 unit group types and just wants to Shift select 2 of them you can use shift. Well this is what I think he means.

These icons have potential to help with the ui so much so any improvements with these would be very much appreciated. Hotkeys would be a good start.!

Absolutely. This would very much speed up mass unit coordination, esp in ffas when you have tons of different unit types.

(Area select) infernos/vanguards front

(Area select) ants/dox/grenadier/leveler/slammer second line

So on and so forth.. WITHOUT having to tediously zoom in and out to select each unit.

THEN if you can hot key them and not have to click all over the screen, YAHTZEE.

sorry I didn't understand what it is you wanted to do.

you were right please make a bugtracker for it : http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/

So we have concluded that this is a bug, not a missing feature, sir?

Well maybe i'll just @BradNicholson bc that seems to have worked in the last 2 days with unit pathing priorities

And i'll do the bug report thing when i get a minute, at the office right now.

actually in this case. putting it on the bugtracker even though it is a missing feature is your best bet at getting it in the game.

1. nobody is against
2. nobody is likely to even be against
3. it's a straightfoward, obvious little touch, hardly merits the "feature" title
4. the bugtracker features alot of these "in-between" bugs

hey do you think I should make a bugtracker for this?

sounds like a plan.

did i get it right? http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/index.php?do=details&action=details.addvote&task_id=3987

Hope so.

I thought you did good. Though the bug guy didn't think so..

So now back to making a plea as a feature request

Thanks for your diligence @tatsujb
