GreenAsJade Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Is there a keystroke/button to reselect the unit you just deselected? With relative spotting, I find myself time and again needing to click the landsape to bring the full intel picture into view ... and then I have to do camera manipluation coniptions to get back to the unit I was ordering ... losing preciious LOS positioning information in the process. If there isn't, could someone with a hotline to the devs maybe suggest that? GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Might be worth BFC thinking about what hotkey descriptions are grouped together in the Hotkeys information accessible in-game. It'd be good if "Reselect last unit" was next to "next unit" and "previous unit" rather than tacked at the bottom of that stanza. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wonderful! So glad I asked! So glad it's there! GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Me too! I never noticed it in the manual or the on-screen hotkeys pop-up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 F12 is SO great! Definitly has a place on my Nostromo speedpad. I recommend one to everyone along with a mouse with lots of buttons. With these you can navigate this game like a champ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Now if only it would reselect the unit _without_ moving the camera. If I want to go back to the unit I can hit "TAB" .... GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaJ That, like "next" and "previous" depends on what view you had selected when you last had a unit selected. If you go to the element that you want to draw a targeting line, and get out of any "follow" mode, deselect it, go to the place you want to shoot at and hit F12, it doesn't flick to the viewpoint of the unit you've selected. I know this, because I nearly posted the same question myself, then realised that I had used F12 without the camera jumping back, and some wooly memory of the Old Times when I used "+" and "-" made me check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Good one, womble. I know what you mean about + and - ... I've experienced the difference before! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
