When a commander is trying to place a building..

Make an outline of the building on the ground viewable by infantry, or perhaps the full building but a green transparent version. This way people can tell when you're trying to place shit instead of walking all over it.

 

Good suggestion.
The green transparent version should be easy to add. It just should be very transparent, so that it doesn't block the view of the infantry. And of course it should be noclip .

 

I think the full transparency could be a bit much, especially if you're trying to place a vf in an emergency. Only the bottom 1 metre of the model should maybe show, or maybe just a green outline on the ground, and a square outline at that (often, it's the full rectangle you have to be stood outside of, not the actual model itself).

 

Well a 20% transparency model would be very easy to code, rather than a weird outline thing.

Although I get the feeling that all commander clicks are clientside so this would be a bitch to do.

 

can we not create an effect when a commander places a building on top of people that it warns the people they are in the way then?

 

Why not just make it kill the people in the way ?
Most of the time the com will ask people to move.If they don't move just kill them.

 

......

 

that's kewl!

 

Who the fuck is supposed to build it then?

 

the people that wasn't acting like noobs.The ones that move out of the way,

 

just push them away from it like when you get revived.

 

Or when soft collisions come in to ruin the day.

 

No. Screw pushing. The idiots need to know when to move.

A model that's visible but not too visible (EG: Griefing comm obstructs view) is fine, thank you. Or only (unbuilt-wall) some height of the model is showing.

 

nah fuck that, push them out the way damnit, or just smash em.

 

i am in favor of the crushing idea

 

TK'ing is unfortunately not on. Pushing is a bitch and I'm not wasting my time. Every time I have to wait I'm already thinking of just saying 'fuck them' and not giving them whatever they wanted.

 

Make them suffer by bolting them to the ground and make them unable to kill themselves or disconnect!

Not really.
Just make them teleport on-top of the building or something?

OR!

What's been originally suggested. Do want.

 

Yeah then they blame you for not dropping shit and then all when you lose its all your fault. Fuck that, the building needs to be placed when you need to place it.

 

In most RTS you can place a building on a unit, then they move to the borders of it, so a pushing idea would be a good idea.

 

Just make so players teleport to the side of the building or inside it.
