Bob Boberson Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hey Battlefront Doodes, Dig this, man. Like, I would really like to see a follow command that resulted in the commanded unit following the unit selected as being worthy of being followed. You dig? So like I pick a tank in a company of tanks to head out....I select this long, torturous trail for him to follow to his assigned destination, no doubt a beautiful spot in please-blow-me-up-land. So I got that leader tank doode all mapped out. So then I select the second tank in the company, select the follow command, and then select that first tank that his its route all nicely laid out. I'm doing all that because that's the way the command is designed, just in case you're curious. So then the second tank will adopt the movement commands of the 1st tank. You know, like, doode, I could be wrong, but I could swear that an early version of CM had this command. I'm sure that doesn't matter one whit; I just thought I'd like mention it in case a dev was interested in some autoguilt. Hey, let me know if you have questions. I realize this is a brilliant suggestion but I don't expect any, like, royalties or anything...some uncontrolled adulation would be swell though. - Bob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidan1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Your first post is classic man, did you spend a lot of time composing it? The concept you describe has merit, and has been requested for quite some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childress Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Far out, man! I can dig it, like, waaaay waaaay down. You carryin' any stash, Bro? Funny you ask. I could have sworn I saw JasonC followed by a conga line of homeless guys after cashing out at an ATM machine yesterday. Tried to alert him but he seemed obliviously absorbed in his TI hand calculator, the one with the graphing capability and linear algebra operations that goes for 300 bucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nidan1 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This thread proves that we will respond to just about anything, even something as obviously set up as this. Even Emerys got sucked in, but that is not saying much, he replies to everything. He even added a smiley, just to make sure we knew he was not being serious, wow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 ...Emerys... You misspelled my name even though it's on every post I make. But then, what can one expect from a senile old guy who was none too bright to begin with and still lives with his mother. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
