Like in the old Black & White game or Google Maps as another example. I'm so used to click-and-pull/push interfaces these days that I kept trying to do it on my planet during a game. I can't find anything about this one by searching, so here's my 2c.
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane Yeah I'd love to see this tested out as well. The best part about it is that it's entirely predictable and very fast. You can pin point any visible part of the map, grab it and center it. There's no guess work or weird acceleration involved. +2!
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane It works great in Google Maps because there isn't 13,000 Ants on screen to get in the way. Try to pick a point that isn't inundated with units, and pull the planet around. Possibly, but it's not going to be quick. Now I think this could be easily fixed by assigning a key modifier (for argument's sake, the Alt key) that stops clicks from landing on units and makes them land on the terrain. Still not as quick as Google Maps, but I think it'll be quick enough to be useful in a fight.
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane push Z while in regular camera mode to do so. Also you can hit M (the guy below me is correct N is to orient your camera north. I knew it was one of those two buttons down there lol) to go into freecam mode
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane Fixed for you N will align your camera rotation to the north pole.
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane I am certain what you are talking about is already in. When you click and hold the mouse wheel button, then move the mouse you are then panning your view around.
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane We could have a smooth scrolling too. ie. you turn the planet with a fast mouvement, and the planet continue to spin, so you can give order while it auto-rotate. Another middle click to stop it from spinning. Would make scouting easier.
Re: Suggestion: Click and Push / Pull ground to rotate plane This will teach me for not reading the controls thread properly.
