Combat....... Attacking.....
« on: March 27, 2012, 11:00:56 am »
Ok, As quite a few around the boards here I too was an aficionado of X-COM: UFO Defense on me 'ol 386 Machine. If my memory serves me right, in order to attack (UFO Defense), you clicked on a given troops weapon, and then fine tuned the shot, i.e., Single or Auto etc. Snap Shot or what have you, then made your shot...... HOW do you attack in UFO: Alien Invasion.... (I was and am SO Happy to have seen that you folks are doing such an outstanding job with this !!!!) ......Although I haven't personally played a game yet... Lol.... SO, That's my question..... And I'm very embarrassed asking it...... As I am sure the explanation is on the site/forums Somewhere, but I...ME.... I can't find the bugger.... So would someone please explain, and if possible, tell me where on the site the mechanics of it are explained.......

MANY Many Thanks Ahead of time !!!!!

But yes, clicking on the weapon's picture to fire it seems much more logical. And saves a bit of screen space.

H-Hour is working on a new HUD which will hopefully replace someday the current one. 2.4 will also features MCR's Minimalistic Hud which saves a lot of screen space

I love the new GUI - especially the blow up portrait of the soldier!
