Title: Proposal: Cancel move while moving
Post by: jmanson on September 23, 2007, 05:40:15 am
If you accidentally click in the wrong position, and a soldier goes running off a long distance where you don't want him to, you should be able to cancel the movement.

I'm agree with jmanson. I think about two ways:
Soldier is going somewhere you don't want and
1. You click at other place - soldier is changing it's path
2. You click (somewhere or at stop button) and soldier stops
add this please
I think everyone has got this situation at least one time that soldier is going somewhere we don't want.

that is not possible with the current netcode

activate the confirm action feature

Will the netcode allow for the feature to be implemented in single player if not in multiplayer? I do not think that confirming every action is a solution. Constant confirmations will be tedious, and the player will get in the habit of always immediately confirming everything, including mistaken actions, I suspect.

I don't think so - have you tried to play with confirmations switched on ?
Seeing the path the soldier will walk, and the line-of-fire (including obstructions)
is quite useful.
