Craig Posted January 19, 2000 Share Posted January 19, 2000 Just fired up v3.0, and I can't group select all the units in the setup box to join or unload anymore. I'm sure I was able to do this in earlier versions, but now it tells me I can't join unlike units, and won't unload anything if a selected unit has no passengers. It's not that big of a deal I guess, but it is going to take a lot longer to set up a large scenario like Nelson if every unit must be selected in turn to unload it. Thanks for any help you can provide. Craig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Sterrett Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Weird - just tried it, and I am able to group-select (click-and-drag a box around) units in the setup float-box. You might want to tell Major H. more about your computer. 8) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MajorH Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 You can't join unlike units. If you select a group of units and then try to join them, the routine will stop as soon as it finds an illegal matchup. As for group selecting and unloading - I just tried it and it worked for me. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted January 20, 2000 Author Share Posted January 20, 2000 I'm sure in the older versions you could select *all* of the units in the setup box, and then unload them. Now nothing happens. Same with the join command - all the units would join with appropriate units, and I could then split them individually as I saw fit. I'll maybe load up an old version just to make sure.

Craig Posted January 20, 2000 Author Share Posted January 20, 2000 Ok, just tried it with TacOps Classic - If I group select all of the units in TF Miz., and select unload from the menu, they will all unload. If I then drag a box around them all (lots of units now) again and select join from the menu, they will all group together like they should, and I end up with about 33 unit icons. To accomplish the same thing now will take quite a while longer, as I have to search through the setup box and shift-click on all units of the same type, and then tell them to join. Like I said, it's not that big of a deal, but it isn't something I would think needed changing. Thanks again Craig ps. I just discovered that if you group select all units and then split them, they will all unload then.

Guest MajorH Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 I'll put this on the list to be revisited when I next need to do a patch or update. ------------------ Best regards, Major H majorh@mac.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
