I've been looking in code for...

[nicknasty]

I've been looking through the code to see if I can find a way to change the toggle between players (currently done by TAB as default) in game. What I am trying to do is make it so if a unit is moving (or doing an action) you can still press TAB to toggle a different unit. I believe this will speed things up for multiplayer. So far I haven't been able to find it in the code. I am pretty overwhelmed by UFO:AI's large codebase.

Keys 1-8 select soldiers.

Maybe I need to rephrase. I understand you can press keys 1-8 or TAB to select different soldiers and thank you for pointing that out. I am looking through the game code to try to find where I can edit it so that you can select a different unit while the previously selected one is performing an action (say moving). Currently you can not do that. I am still trying to understand UFO:AI's codebase and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Not easy due to the server-client system. Mattn tried to make it (moving 2 soldiers in the same time) possible but caused more problems than advantage (sync issues). Sorry I can't point out the code where it is. (I *think* it's done by the Q2 engine.)
